Italy, 2026 Spring–Summer Menswear Trade Fair Sets “Cycling” as Its Central Theme

Are you familiar with the menswear trade fair “Pitti Immagine Uomo,” held in Florence, Italy? It is a long-established business exhibition in men’s fashion that began in 1972, held twice a year alongside the collections, and has become a hallmark of Italy as a cultural event, gathering over 10,000 buyers and fashion insiders from around the world. The theme for the next edition has now been announced. For Spring/Summer 2026, the theme is “PITTI BIKES,” focusing on bicycles. According to General Director Agostino Poletto, “the bicycle symbolizes the dual nature of modern times—both personal and collective, exploring solitude and sociability.”

“As lifestyle and everyday life increasingly intersect, the bicycle goes beyond the framework of ‘sport versus mobility’ to take on an innovative role. It is an activity that seeks harmony, like a tandem connecting opposing forces. It is sustainable, customizable, multifaceted, and diverse, offering new perspectives.” — Agostino Poletto

Exhibiting brands include bicycle manufacturers such as Colnago, founded near Milan and known for its road racing bikes, and Pas Normal Studios, a Copenhagen-based label specializing in minimalist and technical cycling apparel, among others—brands that span both heritage and innovation while pursuing cycling culture and technology.

Last year’s Tour de France also started in Florence, and this may further bring cycling apparel closer to everyday life in Italy, a powerhouse of men’s fashion.

From environmental values to cycling gear — rooted in philosophy. The term “sustainable development” was coined during international conferences in the 1980s, eventually leading to the adoption of the “SDGs” by the United Nations in 2015. A decade on, even Japan—once slow to adapt—is finding that “eco-friendly” has become such a given, it’s almost a dead phrase. Today’s buzzwords have shifted from “sustainable” to “regenerative,” calling for an even deeper commitment. In a time when the planet is in crisis, consumer goods are overflowing, and the waste we see around us is overwhelming, the desire to say “But I still want to enjoy life” or “I still want to ride my bike!” resonates more than e […]

Editor’s M: What Should I Ride In?
〜Riding with an Aloha State of Mind〜

Hello, and welcome back. Early summer already seems to be in the air, and the rising temperatures have been making my head spin a little. I hope you’re doing well wherever you are. The first time I rode in Honolulu was in September 2023. Since then, I’ve only attended as a member of the media. Time and again, I found myself having the same exchange with riders: “Are you riding this year?”“I’m here to cover the event.”“Why not ride while you’re covering it?” Fair point. Maybe I should. That thought was lingering in the back of my mind when I recently took part in my second TD Five Boro Bike Tour, a ride of about 65 km. What struck me most was how many new things I noticed on a cou […]
