Pitti Uomo: sportswear and tradition on the same runway

The streetwear trend in men’s fashion has certainly been acknowledged in the 94th edition of Pitti Uomo, held in Florence this week. Luxury sneakers were included in many of the spring/summer 2019 collections. However, most labels have chosen to remain classic, with fabrics like cashmere, linen, and wool. But one would be mistaken to conclude Italian fashion is resistant to innovation, as sustainability was the name of the game in many collections presented by the 1240 labels that participated in the event.
