La Freccia di marzo: Jovanotti, un performer in moto

The new special project
showcasing the excellence of an
all-Italian production chain
DENIM ITALIANO - Italian Denim Makers is a project produced through a special cooperation agreement
between Pitti Immagine and Milano Unica dedicated to the production chain of Italian denim, its unique qualities,
international reach and the new opportunities it can offer the high-end global market.
An exhibition-event created to represent a group of Italian companies and their manufacturing excellence: strong
elements which contribute to making Italy the country of worldwide premium denim and believe in an all-Italian
production chain, from the design to the finished product, from clothing to accessories.
DENIM ITALIANO - Italian Denim Makers has been introduced at Pitti Uomo 86, and will be featured at Pitti Filati 75
and at Milano Unica in September with a striking exhibition project under the artistic direction of fashion designer
Angelo Figus and a layout by Alessandro Moradei. It will be a kind of vertical factory - set up between the Ground
Floor and Lower Level of the Main Pavilion at Pitti Filati, and at Shirt Avenue and Moda In Fabrics at Milano Unica–
which will showcase an exclusively created collection of clothing and accessories realized to best express the expertise
of the companies involved. A re-visitation of the concept of the exhibition format where – using four guiding themes Vero, Palestra, D-segno and Sartoria – the textile mills, clothing and accessory manufacturers, laundries, printers and
embroidery shops involved in the project can display their skills under the guidance of expert designers from the world of
fashion and denim.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an image journey realized by photographer Enrico Conti which, using the
language of industrial poetics, will talk about the places, machinery and people at the heart of this project. There will be
a number of workstations around the exhibition where each of the various exhibitors can present their production to the
international public of designers and style bureaus.
