Thebe Magugu special guest of Pitti Uomo 100

With Pitti Uomo 100, the Fortezza da Basso becomes once again the platform for presenting new collections and new trends in international menswear. At this edition it will also be the main location of the program of events and special projects, that will take place live, within its spaces, from 30 June to 2 July, and that will be amplified digitally by Pitti Connect on the same days.

South African designer These Magugu, winner of the 2019 LVMH Prize, will be the Special Guest of this edition and will present a special menswear collection of the brand that bears his name with a special event in a dedicated space inside the Fortezza da Basso.

Thebe Magugu won us over immediately, ever since we began following his career, as a result of the freshness of his multicultural and multidisciplinary creativity. Thebe creates a fashion that is continually suspended between art and craftsmanship, education and ancestral practices. We felt that his work was perfect for extending an invitation, in an unconventional way, to a new beginning that is rich in young, energetic awareness” – Lapo Cianchi, Pitti Immagine’s Communication & Special Events Director
