Fashion, Outlets And Florence By Jennifer Kylie At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Fashion and Florence aren’t linked only by their initial letter, but by a very aged synergy starting from the Middle Ages. In those times the city exported a large amount of valuable fabrics throughout Europe, as you can clearly see in the Palazzo Pitti’s “Museum of Costume”.

Pitti Immagine

Nowadays Pitti Immagine, one of the most significant wear shows worldwide, is dedicated to fashion designers. In the frame of the exhibition spaces of the Fortezza da Basso, three different events, Pitti Uomo, Pitti Bimbo and Pitti Filati, take place to show the previews of fashion collections of spring-summer 2008.

Do knit yourself!

Pitti Immagine this year presented Do Knit Yourself, inspired by the new craze for knitting, with men and women getting together in Knit Cafés -mainly in the United States and Japan- to knit while drinking infusions and teas. For the occasion, a group of Cafés and style spots in Florence will be transformed into knit-cafés.

Outlets Villages near Florence

If you are looking for points of sale, Florence can offer different choices. The Mall and Barberino Designer Outlet offer a wide selection of luxury brands. They are both reacheable by a shuttle service available in the centre of Florence.

The Mall is one of the places vital for all those who love the big brands and well dressing. The structure allows to visit easily all the shops by Valentino, Ferragamo, Armani and many others. The shops are wide and rich, the staff attentive and qualified. Some bars and restaurants offer the possibility to have lunch and enjoy a good coffee. All the shops are placed side by side, immersed in the beautiful nature of the Valdarno.

Barberino Designer Outlet is half an hour from Florence and less than an hour from Bologna. Fashion products of previous seasons are sold at reduced prices from 30 to 70%.
