The kids secret garden of Il Gufo for summer 2020 from the Pitti Bimbo 89 children’s fashion catwalks today.
In the most romantic beautiful setting of the Torrigiani Gardens in Florence, Il Gufo built a secret garden in a greenhouse as the setting for their spring/summer 2020 kids runway show.
The show began with a noisy street band breaking the peaceful atmosphere and the kids rushing in wearing urban sports styling with skateboards, technical fabrics were used for leggings, hoodies and logos placed using transfer tape.
This was to illustrate the dichotomy between urban and natural elements, before the dreamy garden state took over and natural fabrics and sweet dresses took over with ragged edged straw hats and gardening accessories.
Bleached stretch denim dresses had floral appliqué for girls, boys wore linen jackets over wide vertical striped Bermuda shorts for boys.
Tiny insects were hand embroidered on the light tulle of the ceremony and party dresses while prints become softer in colour and shape, with little rabbits and watercolour butterflies.
The suggestion of a flower-filled meadow was printed on T-shirts in cotton voile and poplin dresses, fabrics mixed and embellished by a play of ruching. Textures were added with broderie anglais, lace and seersucker.
