Context
Pitti Immagine is an organic set of fairs, events and cultural initiatives that takes place in Florence every year. A space for international ideas, fueled by tradition and artistic heritage, socially relevant, in continuous expansion, which blurs the boundaries of today to research and embrace the present of tomorrow. Pitti Uomo 100 is the symbolic event of the restart of the Italian trade fair sector, as well as the forerunner of major international fashion events. For the June 2021 edition, the Men's show focused on a strong presence of contemporary classic, sportswear and young designers who work on sustainability and responsibility with a personal and holistic approach.And it is precisely a queen company of the sportswear sector that Manaly accompanied at Pitti Uomo 100: C.P. COMPANY.
Company
C.P. COMPANY is an Italian brand that produces and distributes archival military men's clothing, workwear and sportswear all over the world.The company is internationally recognized thanks to the fame of its founder Massimo Osti, "the father of urban sportswear", a revolutionary designer who founded the Chester Perry brand in 1971, later renamed C.P. COMPANY in 1978.The brand immediately met with great success thanks to an unconventional and functional imprint of the classics of the male wardrobe combined with an intense research and innovation of materials and fabrics: from the introduction of the "Garment dyeing" technique to the personalized dyeing service for its customers.
Objective
To pay homage to five decades of Italian sportswear, C.P. COMPANY has opened its digital archive: a permanent online exhibition in which images of garments, objects, sketches, editorials alternate with salient moments in the history of the brand, from its origins to today.The goal for the launch of this online project (digital archive) by C.P. COMPANY was the creation of an interactive multimedia stand to be able to involve visitors personally during the international fair of Pitti Uomo 100. An immersive experience in which the user interacts and benefits from the contents of the stand.The end result will be a complete wardrobe, an intimate furniture that will include not only clothes but keepsakes, memorabilia, toys, books and posters, to complete the narrative of C.P. COMPANY: a tribute to its 50th anniversary.
