I feel like reading this thread has gotten me about as close to being at Pitti as I would probably ever actually want to be.

Superbly written!

It was a real pleasure to read, reminded me of those long-form articles wired magazine would have from time to time!

reading this reminds me of A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle. It's a feast for the senses, Synth! :slayer:

Just want to echo the reigning sentiment here: this was an amazing/hilarious thread. I have zero desire to ever go now, but much desire to read what I hope will be your reports from the front lines at Pitti Immagine Uomo 86...

GOAT thread :slayer: You rule, Synth- thanks so much for writing this all up and sacrificing your body for the greater enjoyment of "THE Styleforum" (I guess Gary Drinkwater isn't the only one who says that after all!)

Whoever it was responsible for Synth's posting at Pitti deserves serious commendations for possibly the most glorious moment in SF history.

Also, was anyone else half expecting that night of drinking between Synth and Stephanie to turn romantic at any moment? Maybe it's off the record
