Appointments, events, presentations, fashion shows, new projects and the most beautiful men&#39;s collections of the Autumn Winter 2026 season seen at the Fortezza da Basso (and beyond) during Pitti Immagine Uomo 109.

The spotlight was on the Fortezza da Basso in Florence for the 109th edition of Pitti Uomo , where the men&#39;s fashion collections for Fall Winter 2026-2027 came to life. Menswear brands, once again the protagonists of the event, continue to explore new directions, seeking to establish themselves in an ever-evolving landscape. Industry professionals, fashion experts, creators, and journalists gathered in Florence to discover the most captivating proposals for the upcoming season. <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;"> For the 109th edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo , the three Guest Designers of the season brought their Fall Winter 2026-2027 collections along the Arno River . SOSHIOTSUKI , a Japanese brand founded by Soshi Otsuki , winner of the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers 2025 , presented its idea of Japanese elegance in the refectory of Santa Maria Novella . Hed Mayner , Israeli by origin but French by adoption who presented his fashion show at the Palazzina Reale of the Santa Maria Novella train station. A monumental and architectural collection, featuring clothing designed for living that pursues the idea of movement, the theme of this edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo. And finally, the season&#39;s Special Event showcased the creative vision of Shinya Kozuka —and his Japan-based brand Shinyakozuka —with a youngish, metaphorical collection with clear references to workwear. <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">

With his Fall/Winter 2026–27 collection , Gabriele Pasini inaugurates &quot; Il Classico del Domani,&quot; a dialogue between Italian tradition and innovation. Rigorously constructed jackets are lightened and take on new proportions, while historic fabrics like houndstooth, check, pinstripes, and even denim are transformed, expressing freedom and practical gestures. Each piece evolves without losing its soul, transforming the material into an archive of emotions and cultural memory. &quot; Both Gabriele Pasini and I take care of the details of our lives,&quot; explains chef Bruno Barbieri , present with the designer at the brand&#39;s stand. &quot;Just like with a great dish, the search for raw materials is fundamental for a collection too. In fashion, many spices are used to color fabrics. The new collection that Gabriele presented with Alessandro Marchesi has given life to a wonderful story.&quot; Each season, the brand produced by Lubiam begins a new chapter based on innovation and product elevation.

At the Central Pavilion of the Fortezza da Basso, Paul &amp; Shark presented its Fall/Winter 2026-2027 collection , a perfect blend of sartorial tradition and avant-garde. In a world where elegance meets performance, each piece is designed for those who do not want to give up either functionality or luxury. The season&#39;s signature piece is The Paolo Blouson , a timeless icon celebrating the brand&#39;s fiftieth anniversary. Created by founder Paolo Dini, the blouson retains its original essence while evolving with cutting-edge technology. Fine cashmere, enhanced with a waterproof and windproof membrane, pairs with exclusive knit details, while the beige palette conveys a refined modernity. With The Paolo Blouson, Paul &amp; Shark not only celebrates its past, but elegantly projects it into the future, confirming its ongoing quest for artisanal perfection for a sophisticated audience who recognizes the value of a garment that combines beauty, comfort, and performance.

At the LBM 1911 stand, &quot; Metamorphosis &quot; explores the evolution of male elegance as a continuous and coherent process. A fluid and modular wardrobe, where tailoring, materials, and color interact to accompany a multifaceted identity, capable of changing shape without losing its essence. At the Fortezza da Basso in the Central Pavilion, the brand brought foil champion Tommaso Marini as its ambassador: &quot;I don&#39;t have a defined style; I like to change every day. I&#39;m very versatile when it comes to dressing, and I appreciate LBM&#39;s suits and outerwear; they&#39;re sensational in their fit. Being very tall, it&#39;s rare for anything to fit me so well.&quot;

The starting point is Paris, not as a postcard but as a state of mind: a tangible reverie that takes shape in a wardrobe of relaxed luxury, where tailoring and sportswear dialogue seamlessly. The architecture of the City of Light suggests fluid and structured volumes, measured layering, and subtle asymmetries. The palette of the Fall Winter 2026 collection is measured by shades of misty gray, green, hazelnut, sky blue, and, for the first time, black, brightened by touches of mauve and dusty pink in the knitwear. Materials guide the narrative: deerskin and cashmere, impalpable shearling, featherweight suede, stretch wool, and denim effects. Bomber jackets, field jackets, trench coats, and pea coats redefine a sensorial elegance, refined by tailored details and coherent accessories, while three new fragrances expand the brand&#39;s universe. A cultured, intimate aesthetic that becomes shared.</div></div></div></div></div></div>

Lightness Experience is an exercise in conscious subtraction. Latorre looks to Canada and distils its silences, horizons, and emotional temperatures into a wardrobe that weighs little but says a lot. Jackets are lighter without losing their authority, colors shift between natural shadows and measured highlights. It&#39;s a tailoring that stops being self-declared and begins to be lived, with a soft touch that becomes an everyday attitude. &quot; Lightness Experience tells the story of the journey we&#39;re taking: a way of understanding tailoring that&#39;s ever closer to real life, where quality, comfort, and identity coexist naturally ,&quot; says Marketing Director Michele Latorre.

At Pitti Uomo 109, Consinee presented &quot;Echoes of Craft,&quot; a project curated by Sara Sozzani Maino with designer Galib Gassanoff , transforming cashmere and other fine fibers in a dialogue between tradition and contemporary experimentation. The exhibition, hosted at Spazio Carra from January 13 to 16, 2026, showcased fifteen special garments, tapestries, and textile installations, bringing together historical archives, Eurasian pastoral coats, and artisanal knitwear and tailoring. The event celebrated the art of making, transforming raw materials into a creative language that captured the attention of enthusiasts and industry professionals.

Outside the Fortezza, the men&#39;s fashion buzz continues with an event at the LuisaViaRoma store on Via dei Tosinghi, where adidas Originals celebrated with the LA TRAINER . An experience featuring installations, music, and international guests, recounted the legacy of the 1981 sneaker, now reinterpreted in two exclusive versions that blend sporting heritage, Italian craftsmanship, and contemporary sensibility: the first, sophisticated &quot;Made in Italy&quot; in brown leather, and the second, sportier &quot;OG&quot; in black, purple, and brown suede. The sneakers are available in a limited edition at LuisaViaRoma and on the official website.
