Weary feet with @unbelragazzo in the press room at #Pittiuomo. You cannot stop us. You cannot hold us back. We are strong. We are #menswear.

llol This is so good

Thanks, I felt like I was there and that you're actually as normal as I am. I hate chap lips!


I recommend Burt's Bees. It's not petroleum-based, and it's arguably a little better for your lips.

I have one in my pocket, one at my desk, one on my bedside table, and one in my locker at the gym. I probably have at least one backup in the medicine cabinet in case one runs out.

I no longer feel so alone in the world.

Someone asked me for a picture. I don't think my panic was evident. Is this what they call The Big Time?


what were you wearing?

Can an average SFer show up at Pitti, or do you have to be in the industry (e.g., vendor, blogger, etc.) to attend? I'll probably never have the time or money to attend, and won't get as much out of it as I would just reading these threads, but I'm curious.


i think you have to be either in the industry or a certified reporter of sorts. anyone can correct me if im wrong.

Synth, 2 things.

1. If you see Mr. Wooster, tell him that I really appreciate that he follows my Tumblr blog.

2. Please get a pic with the famous shadow boxing hat guys from last year, and send them my best regards.

1. Everyone looks like Nick Wooster

2. What?

Today was crazed, but the wall has been conquered.

the "same hat?" guys

I think that's more of a double-armed "yes" motion than shadowboxing, but whatever

edit: here's the other guy from the front

Maybe he was about to beat his ass for wearing the same hat?

Awesome coverage Synth, hope to participate in this madness someday!

1. But not everyone IS Nick Wooster.

2. The famous doods from last year who were wearing the crazy hats and shadow boxing with each other. A million MCers got their panties in a bunch about it. I even found a similar hat and posted a fit pic in homage. Those guys. Find them and tell them I said 'sup and that they are awesome.

Thanks for following along, everyone. I just want to clarify that detailed brand write-ups will be coming later, in the weeks following Pitti. So if something is glanced over, don't fret - there will be more.
