Hats, hats, hats

A couple of weeks ago I visited several hat producers at the Pitti Uomo trade show, as well as some of the factories in the Prato area. It was an amazing experience! I was in Florence on business, but as a hat lover, I felt like a kid in a candy store! Here are some of the hats I had the pleasure of trying on. They're great don't you think?

Como un pez en el agua!

"Como un pez en el agua" is a lovely new beachwear brand from Spain, which was founded by Raquel Pérez and Sandra Puig in 2010. Their bikinis and bathing suits are inspired by beachwear from the fifties, sixties and seventies and are made from vintage fabrics to create a unique personal style.

Wearing a piece from "Como un pez en el agua" will guarantee an exclusive look and probably many jealous looks on the beach...! Their beachwear has already been featured in Spanish Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, etc. So get your bikini now, before it's too late and they're all sold out!

People... Blazer and shorts

A blazer and shorts seemed to be the dresscode at Pitti Uomo 82. This buyer from Japan put his own twist to it, wearing his blazer with cutoff sweatpants and Nike sneakers. He looks so cool don't you think?

Pitti Uomo: Photo Diary Day #5

My fifth day at Pitti Uomo 82 was also the last one. A pity that it was almost over, but probably a good thing... since the temperatures were so high! I think everybody was worn out, ready to pack up and go back home. Not before we took one last look at all the beautiful collections for Spring/Summer 2013 though.
Today's theme: blue and white! (I love it!)

People... pretty in pink?

It takes a very confident man to wear pink... and bermudas at the same time! But this guy definitely knows how to pull it off! He has the right attitude and the tattoos don't hurt either. (Oh well, of course they did... but you know what I mean)
Handsome or not?

Pitti Uomo: Photo Diary Day #4

Day number 4 at the Pitti Uomo fair was all about the Tropics.... tropical temperatures, tropical prints, tropical refreshments! It was unbelievable how hot is was... Thank God for Spanish fashion brand Desigual, who treated all visitors to a slice of watermelon and a glass of cava, gracias!
