The fair Pitti Uomo in Florence is always a good opportunity to see the fashion trends of the upcoming winter season. It ‘also a good time to take pictures of very interesting people that come from all over the world. They definitely take the opportunity of Pitti’s fair to put the spotlight on their best (many times the most eccentric!) cloths available. The Pitti’s fair usually takes place from Tuesday to Friday and the best days to take the photos are definitely the first two, when you can also find some V.i.p. and some more or less famous people. I remember that three years ago I had the opportunity to meet and take a picture of Scott Schuman, the man behind the website “The Sartorialist“, perhaps one of those who helped to create the trend of the fashion bloggers. In my case, I’m not a fashion blogger. Every time I go to take pictures at Pitti Uomo I try to capture all those people that I consider interesting. Rather than thinking about the clothes I think about the person who is behind the dress and what they want to communicate with their look. I can find some similarities with the project I’m working on from a couple of years, called “People around Florence” where I photograph some interesting people I meet around Florence. In that situation I fins every person has its own particular and unique way of dressing up. I think that fashion is just that, a personal externalization of their way of being and living the everyday…..
