Would someone please make a set of Pitti trading cards? You can do a different set every year and have stats on the back. Maybe some all star cards like, for example, Nick Wooster in different poses. Some duet cards where a favorite shopkeeper has a solo card but also shows up standing next to a blogger. If you give Compton a few packs and put his picture in them, you can probably get a nice promotional writeup. I think this is a decent real business. Surely every blogger will buy a few packs. Especially if they think they might be in the pack.
I would buy a set. The Armoury might buy a few hundred to give out to customers or use as scotch coasters.


this is genius.

I would buy them without hesistation.


FTFM

excellent.

I vote Wooster for King, sitting on a throne with his feet dangling in mid air three feet off the floor. Sartorialist for Joker IMHO. Luca for the Jack. Queen is the tough one.



is it though? i mean, pitti has no shortage of very feminine looks. id think it would be easy.

Or, you take your own pictures and don't have to worry about licensing issues at all. Although, you'll want the appropriate "model" releases.

I need only one guy to complete my set of capes but I have triples of some of the beards and I lost interest in the floppy hats (I know, so has everyone else). So I'll give you two beards and three hats for a purple cape and a waxed mustache.

It's impressive the nose for fashion James has. I mean, he didn't even attend Pitti and he is already up on the cape trend. Sadly, he is missing the pipe and I do suppose a floppy hat would just muss his hair....
