Salve! One of the reasons why I love fashion is because it never stops and there are so many possibilities, especially career wise. I've always said I NEVER want to be a buyer, first it takes to long to reach the level of a buyer and second it's too much number crunching. But after being a part of Pitti Immagine, I feel a little different. Observing what goes on at Pitti is a eye opener to what anyone, or I can do in the fashion industry. The building was filled with enjoyment and not so much stress, I'm assuming they haven't gotten to the number crunching yet, but everyone was very excited to be there. And OMG the collections, I WANT IT ALL!!!!! I can't want for some of the lines I saw to hit the market.
Although I feel different about being a buyer, Pitti was an affirmation to my thoughts about going into marketing/public relations and visual merchandising. I say this because, as I was walking the aisles I was mostly observing the phenomenal display setup of the designers and lines. They were all so creative, with they're own individual style and flare, and no two were the same. It would be amazing to have that job, and it's so me, it would be my creativity at it's best! So taking part in Pitti definitely have me thinking...what direction do I want to go in??? But wherever I end up I just know I'll be happy and love the job.
Be on the look out for more information about Pitti and the culture of a trade fair in my cultural assignment.
After leaving Pitti we got to walk around and see more of Florence, well some of it was unnecessary walking being that we walked the wrong way after stepping off the bus to the hotel. But when we finally realized the mistake and made it back to the hotel we enjoyed a night of pure bliss and ended the night with gelato!!
Arrivederci!!!
