NEW VIEW: NEW ENTRIES CONFIRM THE SUCCESS OF THE SECTION DEVOTED TO AVANT-GARDE CHILDREN'S WEAR
Thirty-four new entries and expanded – actually doubled – exhibition space that now includes the Sala Alfa as well as Hall M, prove that New View is an enduring success. This section of Pitti Immagine Bimbo showcases independent firms specializing in research collections for a consumer who chooses niche brands and is happy to experiment with new looks and concepts.
New View presents contemporary developments in the concept of childhood and the child's identity through a selection of distinct looks that share a commitment to individualistic styling and quality esthetic content.
The names and numbers
The names are mainly from abroad and from all over the world - France, Belgium, United States, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Italy – a fact that confirms the spread of a market phenomenon aimed at supporting local traditions and individual identities. And Pitti Immagine Bimbo translates this into reality by noting and anticipating the desires of a new audience that wants an unconventional highly developed look.
Approximately 67% of the 84 names at this edition are from abroad.
New View takes up roughly 2.500 sq. meters in Hall M and the Sala Alfa in the Main Pavilion.

The new setting
The new setting for New View is by Logica-Architettura, Carolina Nisivoccia and Riccardo Salvi, who have already done creative projects for big names in fashion and design. La Vispa Teresa, and Italy nursery rhyme is the inspiration for the area where three-dimensionality is expressed by three different shades of green covering the floors and walls, crowded with butterflies of every colors, shape and size. It is a special place, suspended in time and fantastically childlike with butterfly-lighting fixtures and round seats that magically crop up from the floor as the colorful butterflies flit by.
