For buyers, the Dallas Men’s Show, which runs July 29 – 31 at the Dallas Market Center, is a must-attend event where over 400 of the top apparel and accessories brands tout their latest collections. This year, the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), in collaboration with Confindustria and Confindustria Moda, is sending 20 Italian men’s brands to the venue for the first time.
Dallas is the final stop of the fashion roadshow, “INSPR ITALIA Innovations In Style,” which debuted in Los Angeles last March before stopping off in Miami. At the Dallas event, organizers said festivities kick off with a roundup of the Italian brands opening a “fashion show extravaganza.”
Designers showcasing at the Dallas Men’s Show include: Altamoda, Arcuri, Artico, Athison, Bencivenga Alta Sartoria, Cleofe Finati, DIS Design Italian Shoes, Piero Gabrieli, Italo Ferretti, Jo Ghost, L’Impermeabile, Pashmere, Pasotti, Ploumanac’h, Salvatore Martorana, Serà Fine Silk, Stefano Cau, Suprema, Tiki Napoli, and Vitaliano. Organizers said these designers represent “the best of relaxed elegance and the mood of the moment, always a hallmark of Italian design in the most luxurious fabrications with the finest tailoring.”
