VINTAGE SELECTION N.19
VERY VINTAGE IS ALL AROUND!
The 19 th edition of Vintage Selection, one of the most authoritative and prestigious fairs in Italy and
Europe dedicated to vintage fashion, accessories and culture as well as quality remakes, will be held
from 2 5 - 29 January 2012 at the Stazione Leopolda in Florence.
Vintage Selection is not just for enthusiasts, collectors and ordinary visitors looking for something
original, but also fashion designers and creatives from the style bureaus of the top international
fashion companies who come to Florence for Pitti Immagine Filati, the Pitti Immagine fair which is
held at the Fortezza at the same time.
The synergy with this public of true connoisseurs – which
Pitti Immagine has always cultivated through information and promotional campaigns – is one of the
strengths and distinctive features of Vintage Selection and represents a further boost to the quality,
innovation and stylistic research of its proposals.
The main theme of this 19 th edition will be V ery Vintage:
Vintage an investigation into the widespread
vintage culture that each one of us interprets in a different way, that will be used to create a
catalogue of original looks, individual styles and retro-fashion quirks to demonstrate how much
vintage fashion has become part of our everyday life.
The research started in September with Very Vintage Hunting:
Hunting a photo shoot – which was also used
for
the
fair’s advertising
campaign
–
involving
young
photographers and ordinary
people
immortalized in special locations around Florence.
Around one week before the fair opens, Very Vintage Night Fever will be held at the Rex, a famous
Florentine night-club: everybody will be asked to interpret their idea of Vintage in a creative and
amusing way.
This will be used to create a gallery of images to be projected inside the Stazione
Leopolda during the event.
Another important new feature for this edition is the I.Love.Archive(1) exhibition, the first stage of a
Stazione Leopolda/Pitti Immagine project that, after taking a look inside the precious Pitti Immagine
archives, will be displaying an exclusive selection of slides gathered in the space of just one day,
depicting events, catwalk shows, private viewings and exhibitions that take us back to the dawn of
the Pitti People.
Timeless stylistic features, part of an ideal journey to discover the history of fashion, brought
together in an exhibition conceived by the creative studio “The Creatures Factory”, in a layout
curated by Alessandro Moradei.
Vintage Selection will be presenting 60 exhibitors to a public of members of the trade and
enthusiasts which, at the last winter edition, reached 13,000
13, 000.
