The simplicity of elegance is a captivating quality that appeals to us all. In an exciting twist, the upcoming Florentine Pitti Uomo trade show will showcase an unexpected collaboration between fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld and his bodyguard, Sébastien Jondeau. The renowned designer has invited Jondeau, who has previously worked as a model for Lagerfeld and walked for prestigious fashion houses, to curate a capsule collection for his eponymous brand.
Entitled “Karl Lagerfeld curated by Sebastien Jondeau”, this men’s collection will feature a blend of casual, sporty, and urban styles alongside more formal and elegant pieces. The range will include wool sweaters, bomber jackets, and suits, reflecting Jondeau’s daily uniform as Lagerfeld’s bodyguard.
Fashion enthusiasts can look forward to exploring the collection, which will be available in Karl Lagerfeld stores and on the brand’s e-commerce website from August 2018 onwards.
Pitti Uomo, known as the leading international trade show for men’s fashion, will also present other exciting offerings during its 93rd edition. Visitors will have the opportunity to discover the fall-winter 2018-19 collections from 1,230 attending brands. In addition to the Lagerfeld and Jondeau collaboration, notable designers Jun Takahashi (Undercover) and Takahiro Miyashita (Takahiromiyashita The Soloist) will be the guests of honor at the event.
The trade show will also mark various other occasions. Luca Magliano, winner of the prestigious 2017 Who’s On Next? Uomo competition, will present his debut runway show. Luxury brand Brooks Brothers will hold a fashion show at the Palazzo Vecchio to celebrate its 200th anniversary. Additionally, ready-to-wear label Corneliani will make its much-anticipated return to the Florentine trade show.
It is not just Pitti Uomo that will be abuzz with fashion buzz in Florence. The city as a whole will be bustling with excitement, with events such as the opening of Moncler, Ermanno Scervino, and Gucci Garden stores adding to the vibrant atmosphere.
This collaboration between Lagerfeld and Jondeau is a testament to the creative spirit and ingenuity of the fashion industry. It proves that inspiration can come from the most unexpected sources.
