The cooperation between the two trade fair organizations, Revolver Copenhagen - the event that takes place in the Danish capital twice a year - and Pitti Immagine, continues with the launch of The Italian Team, which consists of the participation of a selection of Italian brands curated by Pitti Immagine.

At the Revolver trade show of Copenhagen, started on February 2 until 4, 2022, are on display the collections of a series of Italian brands selected among the Pitti Uomo exhibitors: Ant 45, Avant Toi, Faliero Sarti, Gallia Knit Project, ID.EIGHT, Noskra, Peppino Peppino Denim, Unimatic, Zermatt.

"In a crucial moment for a restart, offering a selection of Italian brands the possibility to introduce themselves at their best on the Scandinavian markets is a positive sign for the entire system. Trade fairs are increasingly standing at the side of companies to support them, in terms of communication and promotion, and offering opportunities to meet new buyers," said Antonio Cristaudo, Pitti Immagine commercial & development director.

Ant 45
The young brand of socks born from the made-in-Italy expertise of the historic Bonadei group offers styles that stand out for their unusual color combinations, lively patterns, and great attention to sustainability.

Avant Toi
Produced and distributed by Liapull, the Avant Toi brand was founded in 1994 by Fiorella and Mirko Ghignone within the Liapull group. Characterized by a strong relationship between the art world and aesthetic research, the philosophy of the brand is characterized by the union of tradition and experimentation. The values of the Avant Toi universe are expressed through the constant exploration of the unknown and the unexpected, perpetually distancing itself from the conventional rules of knitwear manufacturing to endow each piece with a sophisticated, kind aspect and an avant-garde spirit. Each creation recounts its own particular story.

Faliero Sarti
Faliero Sarti is a historic made in Italy brand that creates luxury foulards, scarves, and shawls produced with fine fabrics such as linen, silk, wool, and cashmere through natural and hand-finished treatments. By the time, the brand has been able to innovate with tinted textures and bright colors, maintaining intact its traditional craftsmanship.

Gallia Knit Project
The brand's knitwear collections are inspired by the 70s and 80s aesthetics. The creations break the mold through unexpected color contrasts and oversized volumes.

ID.EIGHT
ID.EIGHT was born from the meeting between Dong Seon Lee and Giuliana Borzillo, both of whom come from the world of footwear: Dong is a designer and Giuliana a product manager. Together they have created a collection of sneakers with a refined and at the same time sustainable and ethical design. The shoes are made in Italy with low environmental impact materials from food industry waste such as apple and grape skins, pineapple leaves, recycled cotton, and polyester.

Noskra
Noskra was born with a unisex vision and it is strictly manufactured in Italy. The Milan-based brand pursues a vision of sustainable fashion, combining inspirations from the world of fashion and contemporary art with design functionality. The creations blend brutalist graphic elements with clean and minimal shapes.

Peppino Peppino Denim
PeppinoPeppino was founded by Simona Testucci in 2019. Its first denim capsule was launched at Pitti in June of that year. All the PeppinoPeppino collections are freely inspired by original workwear and military pieces that were made for real life, durability, featuring the same volumes and details. The mantra of the brand is to bring disruption to the conformed world of denim, challenge the traditional constraints of fashion, and dismiss the confinement of genders and generations.

Unimatic
Founded in 2015, Unimatic is an Italian contemporary watch brand, born from the passion for vintage and contemporary design of its founders Giovanni Moro and Simone Nunziato, two Italian friends trained as product designers at Politecnico di Milano. The goal of the brand is to offer a unique edition watch combining excellent design and high-quality standards.

Zermatt
Zermatt shoes are made with Italian quality, design, and workmanship and are made for mountain lovers who roam the streets of the world. For 60 years, the brand has been faithful to old manufacturing techniques and committed to being for the years to come.
