Having jetted off to the divine city of Florence on Monday morning [not appreciating the 7am taxi], we are almost done with Day 1 of the Pitti Uomo trade show for Autumn/Winter 2011.

Yesterday we spent hours setting up our stand to perfection so that it will attract potential wholesale buyers, please see below for the finished masterpiece…

After a fabulous dinner at Trattoria Camillo, we had an early night in preparation for a manic 1st day at the show, whilst here I have spotted the first few trends of the day which are as follows…

Waxed jackets

The Barbour English style is still really popular.

Elbow patches

No jacket or jumper is complete without one it seems.

Autumn Winter 2011 weather forecast is set to be worse than last year if fashion is anything to go by.  Everything is padded with goose down.

On a final note, we already have our first sale! Hopefully a sign of things to come for the rest of this week…
