“We are truly pleased with this edition of Pitti Uomo”,
says Raffaello Napoleone, CEO of Pitti Immagine,
“however, for us the most important thing is the widely positive feedback we have received from the majority of exhibitors and top international stores and sales outlets regarding the organization,quality and stylistic variety of the collections, the correlation between supply and demand, and the special events. With regard to buyer attendance, we are obviously very satisfied with the foreign participation which confirmed the very high levels recorded at the last winter edition (around 8,800) and, all in all, I think that the Italian results were good as well (-3.5% compared to January 2016), considering the seesawing moods, feelings and predictions for the future that our country has been experiencing for some
time now: anyway, there is talk of 15,500 Italian buyers attending with all the most important people being present at the Fortezza da Basso. Here at Pitti
we work hard to transmit energy, optimism and ideas – and we are being fully repaid in kind: what more could we want?”
