Apartment Couture at Pitti Bimbo 82 Kids Fashion Week

One of my favorite parts of Pitti Bimbo was the Apartment section, located in the Lyceum building that has a more luxurious home-like setting in comparison to the larger exhibition halls at Pitti. Known as “a unique section dedicated to luxurious & contemporary lifestyles and cutting-edge fashion for children”, 22 international brands were hand-picked to feature their Fall Winter 2016 collection.

Before the runway show, I took a peek behind the scenes and watched mini models getting ready for the show from fitting to makeup and hair. They were even interviewed in FTV style by TV networks on their experience modeling at Pitti Bimbo.

Beyond the inviting atmosphere at the Apartment, for the first time ever, the top floor of the Lyceum building was “converted” into a fashion atelier. 9 international brands participated in the Apartment Couture Runway Show including Velveteen, Hilda.Henri, Babol Cachemire Milano, Cape, Lamantine Paris & Milan, Pèpè Children Shoes, Péro, Piccola Ludo, and Stella Jean.

Sitting in the back with the camera crew filming the Apartment Couture Fashion Show was something special. The runway show was produced on a professional level with “stage direction” services provided by Pitti. This Apartment Show was packed with an audience of buyers and press who like me by the smiles on their faces seemed to enjoy the Maison haute couture setting, recreating the atmosphere of a real home.
