Pitti Immagine Filati July 2025

From Pitti Filati 97 (Florence, Fortezza da Basso, July 1-3, 2025) and the world of spinning, a message of confidence and creativity was delivered.

The research into materials and manufacturing creativity of the best international spinning mills, the technological innovation of textile machinery, and the offerings of the most qualified knitwear professionals created a lively atmosphere. Among the professionals, there was an awareness that the Italian spinning industry is experiencing a period of adjustment, a clear reflection of the difficult economic situation for the fashion industry. Yet, at the same time, during these three days at the Fortezza, there was great dynamism among the stands: the desire to discover creative and innovative yarns and learn more about the services offered by the 130 exhibiting companies.

On the other hand, Pitti Filati confirms itself as a fundamental meeting point for the international knitwear community, which unites spinners with the style offices of fashion companies, passing through knitwear factories, textile machinery and all the other key professionals in knitwear creation.

This edition’s editorial theme is Pitti Bikes: two wheels, the bicycle, a powerful unifying passion that unites craftsmanship and tradition, but also progress and technology; the contemporary duality between aggregation and isolationism, metropolises and villages, nature and urban landscapes. And the communication image, ‘Wheel of Yarns’, perfectly encapsulates this with brightly colored LED rays. Thanks to the installations designed by architect Alessandro Moradei, the Fortezza becomes a circuit, a track, a journey between fashion and lifestyle, to be traveled at a harmonious pace, a tandem that can reconcile even opposites.
