The summer edition of Pitti Uomo this year was extremely hot. Don't be fooled by the layering seen in Mr. Ton's photographs, many of these people are either very dedicated or very climatised. Still, the people watching in Florence is extremely entertaining no matter winter or summer, and it's usually interesting to see who caught the lens of the photographers.

After a few very hot days in Florence, we are back in London before flying out to Vancouver. The cool weather is somewhat of a relief, but the heat didn't stop us from enjoying the latest collections and seeing some of our friends from around the world. Our usual favorites produced great new pieces with exciting new materials, styles and fabrications - leaving us already looking forward to next spring.

Last night Stone Island opened an exhibition at Stazione Leopolda in Florence. 'Thirty Years of Research History and Experimentation' was curated by Simon Foxton and Nick Griffiths, alongside Carlo Rivetti. The presentation was very impressive, spanning several rooms, a variety of displays and displaying some incredibly innovative garments. The exhibition also featured a short film with interviews, brand imagery from the last 30 years and showcasing the company's headquarters. The exhibition is definitely worth a visit if you have the opportunity and if not, Stone Island have produced a book documenting the majority of the archive.
