VINTAGE SELECTION n. 27


VINTAGE SELECTION n.27: “V Generation”, the Vintage Generation


From Wednesday Jan 27th to Sunday Jan 31st, 2016, the venue that was formerly Florence’s first railway station [Stazione Leopolda] will be hosting the 27th edition of VINTAGE SELECTION, the market-fair featuring vintage fashions, accessories, miscellanea and remakes, that logged over 13,500 visitors at the previous winter edition. 
 
Vintage Selection has earned itself a special status amongst the Italian and European fairs that have fashion, design and vintage culture at their heart. This is a result of the various special features that have so powerfully contributed to its success to date: first and foremost the scouting and selection of the exhibition proposals, but also the fact that it is held concomitantly with Pitti Filati, the key international event featuring yarns for the knitting industry organized by Pitti Immagine at the Fortezza da Basso from Wednesday 27 to Friday 29 January. A unique synergy has been established between these two events which, for five days, will transform the city of Florence into a big yarn and quality clothing exhibition-event.
 
Similarly the title-theme of Vintage Selection 27 will be “V Generation”: the “Vintage Generation”, the multi-generations of very young men and women, as well as the young and not so young people who love to wear clothing and accessories from the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and ’00s, mixing them according to their own personal style of dressing and creating new trends.
 
V Generation” will be the guiding-theme inspiring the fair’s latest layout in the Stazione Leopolda curated by Alessandro Moradei and will inspire VVV VERY VINTAGE VISION, an exhibition-installation occupying the area at the center of the two aisles, along both sides of which all the stands will be arranged as well as the other areas devoted to entertainment, meetings and refreshments that characterize Vintage Selection.
 
It is open every day from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and it cost €5 to enter the fair area.
