The themes, colours and preliminary basic inspirations for the collections we will see in the markets in eighteen months time, got off to a fine start at Pitti Immagine Filati. The 64th edition (Florence, 28-30 January 2009) ended on a note of confidence notwithstanding the economic problems cutting across the international stage. According to organisers, visitors from industry who attended the show expressed their determination to start production for the coming seasons with a positive attitude.
As could be expected in these catastrophic economic times, visitor numbers were down with the final figures showing that 3,900 buyers attended the fair compared to the 4,700 who came to the last winter edition in January 2008. 37% of visitors were foreigners and 2468 were Italian.
