ACF Presents Avec Ces Freres @ Pitti
Men’s fashions projected into the future in a new, special project at the Fortezza da Basso, produced with
L’Uomo Vogue and GQ Italia
Il progetto
Back to top At the forthcoming edition of Pitti Uomo (Florence, 7-10 January 2014), in cooperation with Fondazione Pitti Discovery, L’Uomo Vogue and GQ Italia will present THE LATEST FASHION BUZZ, a new project featuring some of the most talented and promising international designers of men’s fashion.
“THE LATEST FASHION BUZZ”, says Agostino Poletto, deputy general manager of Pitti Immagine, “aims at offering support and visibility to prêt-à-porter and accessory designers who work on a new concept of modern in both the formal and sophisticated informal keys. Together with GQ Italia and L’Uomo Vogue we have done intensive scouting and made very careful selections. The designers invited to accept this challenge are not only new names, but also already established designers with a very personal approach to experimentation. It is to them that we want to offer the ideal platform for presenting their unique looks to the top buyers, the press and the international fashion system which, season after season, gather in Florence for the Pitti Uomo fair. One of our several missions has long been that of promoting young talents on the international stage through special projects and events. And this new program fits perfectly into this context, flanking projects such as the Who is On Next? Uomo competition that we produce with AltaRoma and L’Uomo Vogue, or the special area Super Talents, in Milan, curated by Vogue Talents during our Super showcase”.
The collections – carefully selected key items – will be presented in the Sala Ottagonale, a strategic location at the Fortezza da Basso, with an innovative and striking layout that will reflect the project’s dual spirit: new formal and edgy informal.

THE DJ TECHNIQUE APPLIED TO MENSWEAR
The technique presented by the A.C.F Revolving Collective results from the collaboration between Sam Lambert and Shaka Maidoh with Matteo Gioli and Liam Maher.
The progressing of the tradition of menswear design from the past through the present into the future involves a process of hybridization, grafting, sampling and mixology. Like a DJ digging through classic vinyl, remixing standards from the jazz and pop musical canon, menswear designers attempt to harmonize the most potent influences from their vintage research within a single contemporary concept. So Sam and Shaka of Art Comes First step into the atelier with Matteo Gioli of SuperDuper Hats and Liam Maher of Denham to cut, scratch, sample and mix vintage menswear in a demonstration of the DJ technique applied to menswear. Lambert, Maidoh, Gioli and Maher will working toward a creative synthesis of sartorial and workwear influences that reflect each of their individual design obsessions.
Scratching with Sewing Needles: Each day of the event hybrid designs will evolve within a nomadic atelier. And each day finished pieces will be styled into a focused exhibit of looks inspired by the men who progressed modern music from yesterday's legends like Thelonious Monk to contemporary pioneers like Yasijn Bey fka Mos Def.

COAL - THE DIALOG: A Game of Chess
THE BALANCE & THE GAME UNFOLDING
The production and exhibition of these designs sets up a context for dialog.
The dialog between creatives on the subject of balance and how best to achieve it.
For the Coal project this dialog will be framed within a gentlemanly game of chess - a tradition of playful exchange famed for ritual, beauty, richness and the tipping of a balance back and forth between players.
More than that, the chessboard can serve as a rosetta stone for discourse, anchoring a discussion or debate between players on other subjects even as they move their pieces across its iconic checkered pattern.
- Written by Liam Maher
- Chess board & Pieces designed & conceived by Liam Maher for The COAL Project.
