Ping Pong guiding theme of the summer of Pitti Uomo 86

Ping Pong Pitti is the guiding theme of Pitti Uomo 86 and talk about sports - a topic that next summer, on the occasion of the World Cup in Brazil, will be more "hot" always – pointing to its most essential and almost Zen-. Many venues around the world that combine ping pong tables to music and food, Hollywood stars who open rooms dedicated to the game, books that come out on the philosophy of ping pong, exhibitions, arte e opere of theatricality, film, not to mention the thousands of websites and videos on the topic (matches, techniques, samples, equipment and even a new, revolutionary form of table and game).
“This summer the Pitti People play table tennis. Lifestyle expression and synthesis of the key elements of each sport - Says Agostino Poletto, deputy general manager of Pitti Immagine - ping pong combines physical movement and mental concentration, technical dexterity and speed, competition and pleasure. Around these ingredients then we'll have to build many more: colors, mesh, places of worship, supporters… everything form that is doing, the look, being and communicate the sport today. Through Ping Pong Pitti and the amazing design project designed by Oliviero Baldini will represent, in short, in an ironic and "our" way, the contemporary world of sport and its dense network with fashion and fads, the infinite game in which every time the answer is different, every time the temporary result is uncertain, every time the strategy and the final outcome of the game change”.
Ping Pong Pitti also provides for a special collaboration with La Gazzetta dello Sport, in partnership con FITeT (Italian Federation of Table Tennis), will lead to the Pitti Uomo Italian National Ping Pong. In più, planned a series of initiatives that will involve the Pitti People: in a dedicated area inside the Fortezza, will compete in a tournament blogger, fashion influencers and fashion journalists.
