Pitti Filati

Pitti Filati January 2010
Definitely way over due on this post. The past couple of months have been crazy but now uni work has calmed down a bit I can sort of relax a bit more and catch up on the mountains of draft posts I've started to create.
Pitti Filati is a yarn/knit trade show which as a year group we got to visit whilst being in Florence. It was such a great experience to gather inspiration and develop future ideas. We definitely found the more simple stitches came across as more effective which was possibly the most inspiring.
Here are just a few pics of my favourite parts.. 





Knitted and Crocheted table complete with mussels and spaghetti




Few lace ideas

Love the shape of this dress!
 

Fab fairisle patterns

Got to get in on the turban action!






Massive chandelier type ceiling hangings, put together with different sections of different fabrics











 This was definitely my favourite part of the show, at least 150 mini garments on mini mannequins all arranged in circles in a separate room, each garment was so creative and really well thought through. Unfortunately I have no idea what this part of the show was showing/selling, if anything. However we did notice each garment had a persons name underneath, but that was about it. Especially loving the leather collars and skirt hems mixed with knit and the wealth of textures!
