Stefano Pilati has announced he will introduce his new exhibition at the 94th edition of international menswear trade show Pitti Uomo this upcoming June.
The new collection, which is titled “Evolution — Involution — Revolution. Three decades of men’s fashion as seen by Stefano Pilat”, is set to highlight the similar links between fashion and the constantly changing world surrounding it.
The show will be open to the public until October 21 and it is said to be a representative as the third chapter to the three-year program promoted by Florentine Center of Italian fashion, Galleria degli Uffizi and Pitti Immagine. The Italian Ministry of Economic Development and Italian trade agency ICE are also said to be supporting the project with a generous financial contribution.
“For this project focused on men’s fashion, a theme which has been neglected for too long on the Italian and international cultural scenes, we chose Stefano Pilati because he is one of its main protagonists,” said Pitti Discovery Foundation general secretary Lapo Cianchi. “But most of all, we got fascinated by his personal vision of the fashion system: eccentric, dissonant, almost cynical. He has a precise point of view, which reflects the obsessions and considerations of a collector, who is also a designer and someone who deeply loves fashion.”
In the past, the Florentine Center for Italian fashion, Gelleria degli Uffizi and Pitti Immagine presented two exhibitions prio to the new Stefano Pilati show which were, “Karl Largerfeld-Vision of Fashion” and “The Ephemeral Museum of Fashion”, which came out in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
