FLORENCE – Façonnable was pleased to unveil its fall 2012 collection, the first designed by its new Artistic Director, Julian Neale at Pitti Immagine January 10-13th. Born in Turkey and raised in Hong Kong, Neale recently joined the lifestyle brand and set out to refine the Façonnable DNA by bringing a new, modern twist to its French Riviera aesthetic. Here, at Pitti Uomo, the premiere menswear trade show, the first fruit of those efforts was on display.

The mix of quality brands, visually appealing displays and creative side events, confirm the predominance of Pitti Uomo in the forefront of menswear as well as its influence to capture the zeitgeist of menswear.

The iconic French brand showcased its French Riviera inspired Collection in the prestigious Padiglione Centrale, or Center Pavilion, located in the heart of the medieval Fortezza da Basso.
