The latest trends in kidswear at Pitti Bimbo 75: ecological and sustainable, made in respect of nature and labor.
“EcoEthic”: ecological and sustainable, made in respect of nature and labor. This is the trend for children’s fashion for the upcoming Spring-Summer 2013: a joyful world that is replacing a palette of dark colors, according to the latest Pitti Bimbo show in Florence, the major children’s fashion fair in the world (491 collections (195 from a abroad), over 7.000 buyers). A fairy tale told between trees, hammocks, swings but especially greasy poles, fruit gardens, corners of colorful and exotic vegetables, giant scarecrows and toys!
Organic and biological materials, a particular attention to local manufacturing and small communities in developing world. Fashion tries to build a better world, starting from children that are hope for the future.
Designer Ilaria Marelli has once again transformed the Lyceum interiors with a conceptual installation, “Hortus”, on the subject “nature and food” which links to the general theme of the event, WonderFood Pitti.This project, the perfect balance of irony and refinement, recreates an off-scale vegetable garden painted like in nineteenth-century botany books. Visitors walked through herbs and giant fruit trees in surreal, cool, playful surroundings.
