THAT’S PITTICOLOR! First impressions Pitti Bimbo 81st edition

The 81st edition of Pitti Immagine Bimbo (Florence, 25-27 June 2015) ended last Saturday. More than 10.000 visitors (5.600 international buyers) came to Florence to view the new collections for spring | summer 2016. The figures for Italy remained stable, reflecting the positive signs already registered for domestic consumption which has become more dynamic in recent months. According to Raffaello Napoleone, CEO of Pitti Immagine:  “The Italian market has managed to hold steady and this is undoubtedly a comforting sign after several seasons in which the decrease in domestic consumption has been evident”.
