PITTI IMMAGINE S.r.l.

Pitti Immagine is a corporation – controlled by a non-profit, public-private association, the Centro di Firenze per la Moda Italiana – which organizes international trade fairs and special events in the fashion and lifestyle areas. The corporation’s goal is to globally promote the best expressions of Made in Italy and maximize the interests of its members and stakeholders which include the Municipalities and Chambers of Commerce of Florence and Prato, the Tuscany Region and the industrial associations of Biella, Florence, Prato, Vicenza as well as Sistema Moda Italia which represent the economic, social and cultural assets of the whole fashion system. The trade shows, held mainly by invitation, are partly reserved for members of the trade and partly open to the public. They are devoted to men’s, women’s and children’s fashion, knitting yarns and fibers, fragrances, food and wine, publishing, dance, bicycles as well as fashion innovation with the e-Pitti Summit conferences.

Pitti Immagine also carries out tutoring and consulting activities. The objectives and programs also realized through the Pitti Immagine Discovery Foundation include both the promotion of new brands and new generations of fashion designers, opening up to the most interesting young expressions of fashion from around the world and offering them a qualified international stage in commercial and communication terms.

Pitti Immagine and the Discovery Foundation also devise, curate and organize important exhibitions and publications dedicated to modern fashion culture thanks to an ability to dialogue with social phenomena and customs and use the languages of contemporary art. These projects can be utilized abroad in order to promote the design qualities of Italian fashion and culture.
