After the bespoke shoes symposium, it was off to the party at Villa Cora, just outside Florence. Sports cars were on hand to take participants from the Bemer workshop, above. (Though they got a little held up by Florentine traffic and people wanting to take photos…)

The party itself was most pleasurable, as mentioned in the first post, for bringing wonderful people together: tailors and shirtmakers, buyers and writers, many of whom had never met before.

Bespoke magazine had also held a photo shoot during the day using shoes from the makers featured at the symposium, various watches, and suits from Caraceni, Rubinacci, Cifonelli, Sciamat and others, which were on display.

Sounds like a great evening, I heard good things about the symposium and the party from friends that went. How great of you to be involved.
Allow me to add that there were only five tailors showing suits made from Vitale Barberis Canonico cloth, including Sartoria Ripense from Rome in addition to the four you already mention.

Hi Simon, I see that you mention the Bespoke Magazine shoot featured suits from Caraceni, Rubinacci, Cifonelli and Sciamat. Do any of the Saville Row houses use the show to promote their products?

Hello Simon,

A bit random, but could you venture a guess to the fabric of Lino’s jacket? Interesting to pair (what appears to be) blue on blue.
