Florence, June 2026
At the upcoming edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo 110, one of the most influential global platforms for menswear, visionary designer Simone Rocha has been announced as Guest Designer. For the first time, Rocha will present a dedicated menswear runway show in Florence — a highly anticipated and symbolic moment marking a new chapter in her creative universe.
“I am truly grateful for this generous invitation. Presenting my first standalone menswear show in Florence feels deeply meaningful. I look forward to exploring new territories while remaining grounded in authenticity, vulnerability, and a playful spirit.”— Simone Rocha
A Distinct Creative Vision
Renowned for her emotionally rich aesthetic, Simone Rocha continues to challenge conventions in a menswear landscape often dominated by restraint. Her work is an intimate dialogue between heritage and modernity, drawing from Ireland, Hong Kong, art, and personal memory.
Her designs transcend time — merging gothic romanticism, sportswear, and artisanal craftsmanship into a language that is both disruptive and deeply poetic. She does not follow trends — she defines them.
According to Francesca Tacconi, “Simone Rocha’s work is a sensory journey — rebellious yet refined, where tradition meets fearless imagination. We are excited to witness her Florentine debut.”
The Role Of Pitti Immagine
This participation reinforces the role of Pitti Immagine as a global incubator of creativity, consistently elevating designers who dare to reshape the future of fashion. The upcoming theme, “The Pitti Pool”, will further immerse audiences in a fluid dialogue between identities, aesthetics, and innovation.
