Florence has a long and strong tradition in fashion: Italy’s haute couture was born here, at a parade organized in 1951 by Giovanni Battista Giorgini, pioneer of Italian high fashion. Since then, the beautiful Tuscan city has been very active in the national and international scene, boasting designers such as Gucci, Salvatore Ferragamo, Patrizia Pepe and Roberto Cavalli, among many others. Furthermore, 15.2% of Italian companies operating in the leather sector are located in Florence, which also hosts a series of fashion events that are the most prestigious and important of their kind on the international scene, like Pitti Immagine.
If you love fashion, don’t miss this unique opportunity!
