Praising the historic EU agreement to create a 750-billion-euro coronavirus recover fund, Pitti Uomo has unveiled plans for the Dolce & Gabbana show in September. The Dolce & Gabbana show will be held from September 2-4 in Florence. The show will present the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Sartoria luxury menswear collection inside the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence’s medieval city hall. This will be followed by a live runway show of women’s Alta Moda, or haute couture in Villa Bardini, a 17th-century abode with a classical Tuscan garden, including artificial grottoes, an orangery, marble statues and fountains, and a famously romantic roof terrace with magnificent views of Florence.
The design duo will also stage a high jewelry presentation, with a meal inside the cloisters of the Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria della Novella and a chance for their well-heeled clients to participate in the wine harvest at the noted Florentine vineyard of Cantieri Antinori.
Pitti plans to return in January 2021 with reduced audience. The event will be slightly different in nature given the financial crisis of department stores in America. The salon typically attracts over 1,200 brands to each edition. However, for its next edition it targets a more realistic goal of between 700 and 800 brands.
