Pitti Uomo 81 Part II

Here are some of my favorite looks from my second day at Pitti. I wanted to get them to you on Friday, but my computer crashed. It's working again, but I think it's time for a new one. Enjoy the images and I hope that you are having a lovely weekend.

Gentlemen from the top:

Josh Peskowitz, Style Director Park & Bond and Gilt Man

Mike, Student

Nick Wooster, Fashion Advisor for Gilt Man 

I wasn't able to get this gorgeous girl's name as I was rushing to an appointment. I love her style though. She's super cute!

Inspiring girls, Florence Pitti Uomo 81

A lot of things have changed for me professionally since the first time I attend Pitti  in June 2006. As Director of Grazia.it, I attend the menswear fair to preview trends and to meet with Grazia Italy's clients. I'm learning a lot and meeting many fascinating and inspiring industry players. AND, I am super lucky as I have the opportunity to shoot street style as I am walking around town and between appointments. Here are some lovely images of girls who inspired me yesterday.

From the top:

Valentina-  I spotted Valentina's amazingly detailed look as I was walking to Pitti from my hotel. What don't I love about it. I want her gloves, am swooning over her perfectly layered outerwear,  want to rip the tapestry style backpack of her back, and am really into her oxfords! 

Gilda- A bold printed jacket layered over a maxi pleated leather dress will get my attention every time. Hello!

Nil- Yep, you already know that I am a sucker for pretty girls in bright colors! Oh, she looks amazing!

Fabiana- Camel, tweed, lace and denim (shorts). Nough said!

I hope you're as inspired as I am! Have an amazing day, Tamu

Stimulating the senses, Sebastian

Sebastian's attention to detail is riveting. His mix of checks and paisley, brilliant. His combination of accessories couldn't be more eloquent. They speak of bountiful trips to flea markets here and there. The kind of excursions that reward you with favorite pieces that make every outfit utterly complete.

A Lady and A Gentleman

There were of course many, many, many beautifully dressed people at Pitti, but these two made a lasting impression on my mind. I shot the gentleman first, and later, when I laid eyes on this bellissima donna, a harmonious thread sparkled through my fashion imagination. Summer-white combined with staple colors navy or black. Chic!

When Length Matters

With all the micro minis present on and off the runway, it's nice to see a pavement- grazing skirt now and then. These looks are dazzling! The look above was Florentine aperitivo material. The one below, which I fondly call "day drama," was worn at 12 noon in Milan. When length is more.

Tiers of Texture

There are rows of reasons why this "prima ballerina" steals the show. 
Two of which?
First, that smile. I would risk a bellyache from indulging in its sheer sweetness.
And secondly, who doesn't like lace and tulle? Especially when delicately layered to the eyes delight. Enjoy the dance.

Right side first

I am a false lefty. I write with my left hand, but, I am ambidextrous with everything else. When looking at this image, I can't help get the sense that this guy is a total righty. His rolled right sleeve; three-ring right tattoo; agenda held firm in his right hand; his left hand tucked away in his pocket; and his gaze effortlessly directed to the right.
