Appreciation for Precise and Personal Creative Inspiration
Special events by the special guest designers, planned for two days during Pitti—Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th—have been decided. Notably, kolor (designer Junichi Abe), chosen as the main guest designer for Pitti Immagine Uomo, marks the third Japanese designer to receive this honor, following Yohji Yamamoto and Undercover.
Lapo Ciatti, Pitti Immagine's Communication & Events Director, commented, "kolor and Damir Doma represent two entirely different stories and cultures."
"However, we believe they share the same determination to develop their brands. The foundation of their strong business experience is a highly precise and personal (unique) creative inspiration, unswayed by current mainstream fashion trends," he continued.

"Over the past few seasons, kolor's classicism, its unique fluidity and lightness, has evolved into a more mature and structured brand, forming the core of a smart, humorous, yet rigorous menswear wardrobe."
"Meanwhile, Damir Doma's rigor and clean cuts have given rise to women's everyday wear imbued with colorful and approachable strength. In the creative realm, their aesthetics have left their mark on design history, and we are interested in their evolution as they secure their place in contemporary relevance. Both brands will present specially created projects, focusing on their new Spring/Summer and Resort collections," the announcement stated.
