Although I have never been there and didn&#8217;t know much about the event, I realized that it might be an opportunity to learn something new. Pitti sounds like a very classic event, especially for someone like me who is in the fashion industry but spends most of their time in the office.<\/p>\n<h2>Expectations from Pitti<\/h2>\n<p>When we made our two shows in Paris in 2022\/2023, it was very small. The Pitti show will be much larger, which is an amazing opportunity. I am not sure whether we can make this type of scale again. When I checked the guest designer list, there are so many great brands that I admire.<\/p>\n<h3>The Plan for Pitti<\/h3>\n<p>For Pitti, I am adopting a more classic style. For the first time, we will be concentrating on tailoring, which was missing from our previous collections. Although we have a model maker, designer, and the right technicians in my office and studio, tailoring has not been a focus until now.<\/p>\n<h2>Journey as a Founder<\/h2>\n<p>I started my brand in 2018, and on the journey of every founder, there is a milestone or a turning point. For me, it was definitely the LVMH Prize in 2021, where we were semi-finalists. Although it was an honor, I wanted to give up at the time due to the challenges we were facing.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenges Faced<\/h3>\n<p>We experienced the side effects of Covid until 2023, followed by inflation from 2023 to 2024, which affected the economy and people&#8217;s spending habits. As a result, our wholesale income fell, which used to be half of our business but decreased to around 35 percent. Despite these challenges, we are still growing, with a 20 percent growth in 2024, and our turnover rose by 39 percent from 2021 to 2022 and 75 percent from 2022 to 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction to Pitti Curiosity, especially, drove me to learn more about Pitti.
