FLORENCE--The coolest thing about Pitti--thus far, at least--is that every designer staging a runway show has hosted a press preview a few hours before their models start stomping. Not only is it nice to get a sneak peek at what's to come, but it's particularly useful to be able to chat with the designer beforehand--aiming for a backstage interview after the event is never fun, so this gives journos a chance to ask real questions in a less stressful situation.
Roman designer Fabio Quaranta opened the Cango Cantieri Goldonetta to us yesterday afternoon.
