Debuting his First Menswear Collection.
As anticipation builds for the 108th edition of Pitti Uomo the world’s premier menswear trade show, Italian designer Niccolò Pasqualetti has been announced as the guest designer for the upcoming event. Pasqualetti is known for his innovative approach to tailoring, sustainable practices, and distinctive aesthetic that blends classic Italian craftsmanship with contemporary sensibilities, making his presence a major highlight of the Florentine showcase.
“Much like Jean Arp, who inspired his jewellery design, Niccolò Pasqualetti invents new forms of reality through his garments, experimenting with diverse materials. Starting from the sartorial codes of traditional Italian menswear, which he boldly reinterprets, Niccolò creates collections where past and present, masculine and feminine, classic and contemporary coexist in a uniquely organic and original way,” says Francesca Tacconi, Special Events Coordinator at Pitti Immagine.
This prestigious invitation marks a significant milestone in Pasqualetti’s burgeoning career. The Paris-based designer, celebrated for his meticulous attention to detail and commitment to ethical sourcing, will have a unique platform to present his vision for his first foray into menswear. Pitti Uomo’s guest designer segment traditionally offers a prominent space for designers to showcase their collections and creative philosophies to a global audience of buyers, press, and industry insiders.
“It means a lot to be invited to show at this season’s Pitti Immagine Uomo, which for me has always stood for rigour in the making and meaning of clothes. Being from near Florence, I am especially thankful for this chance to return and present my work here. The codes of menswear have always informed my desire for precision, for expressive details, and for a certain freedom in dressing. I’m eager to evolve these codes while staying true to them.” – Niccolò Pasqualetti.
Pitti Uomo 108 is scheduled to take place in Florence in June 2025. Niccolò Pasqualetti’s guest designer presentation is undoubtedly one of the most eagerly awaited events on the calendar, promising a compelling glimpse into the future of contemporary menswear.
