Today in Florence...

Classy and elegant with a modern cut – including the man-clutch. Valentino unveiled its autumn/winter 2012-13 menswear collection on Wednesday night, as guest of honor at Pitti Uomo in Florence. It was the first catwalk show since spring/summer 2008 when the collection was still designed by Valentino himself. The show was staged in the transporting Baroque rooms of the city’s 16th-century Palazzo Corsini.

Today is the third day of Pitti Uomo, showcasing over 1000 brands at the Fortezza da Basso. The last winter edition of Pitti Uomo welcomed more than 30,000 visitors and 23,100 buyers.

Valentino’s collection is now exclusively available at thecorner.com.
