Pitti Uomo 97

Shooting Pitti Uomo 97 for The Rake Magazine was quite the experience.

We came, we saw, and then bid Pitti a hasty adieu, in part because of the carnage left by a night of unfiltered, Caffè Gilli-fuelled conviviality at Palazzo Rake which would leave the Medicis blushing, meaning we had to make way for the restorers. In an incredibly jam-packed four days, we've seen no end of stunning classic menswear items which we at The Rake will be excited to share with you in AW20.

My objective this season was to cover as many brands and people as I could, as well as picking out key trends that could be making serious ground this year and next. Regarding the experience on the whole, I won’t divulge into too much detail - primarily because we’ve already done it over on TheRake.com (direct links to the Pitti Insider Day 1-3, plus the full review are below). Note: the review of Day 2, written by our Digital Editor Ryan Thompson, deserves a Pulitzer.

But anyway, here are a few of my favourite shots from this season, with a few of me thrown in too - which were shot by @theexiledbrit.
