Introducing “The Future Shapers”
Who will be the future protagonists of kidswear? Designers of ethical fashion that respects people and the environment? Pitti Bimbo presents the most revolutionary brands, champions of green & slow fashion designed precisely for the future's most important people: children. Introducing "The Future Shapers!"

"The Future Shapers" is the theme of this edition's selection of brands for "I Want to be Green," Pitti Bimbo's special project to showcase eco-responsible brands, large and small, many of which are debuting and therefore "sustainable natives."

As usual, Dimitra Zavakou, a leading expert on green fashion and the founder of the concept lab Little Pop Up in Berlin, has picked the new products to discover at the Fortezza and online on Pitti Connect.

Wooly Organic
A mother created this Latvian brand for her two children. Pieces are made from 100% organic fabrics free of harmful chemicals, herbicides, and pesticides. Soft toys are filled with corn fiber, which is biodegradable, compostable, naturally hypoallergenic, and antibacterial. Raw materials come only from trusted European producers to maintain a zero-kilometer footprint, from yarn to packaging.

Grech & Co
Bringing California style to Nordic minimalism with sunny colors, understated lines, and timeless patterns to create clothing and accessories the whole family can enjoy regardless of gender, age, or season. Embracing the "less is more" philosophy through creating beautiful, comfortable apparel, the brand promotes conscious consumption through environmentally friendly manufacturing practices.

Designed around the "Born Green" concept, the collections emphasize the importance of caring for our common home, the planet.
The Little Blazer Company
It is Britain's first "gender-neutral" luxury kidswear brand. Blazers are the key piece: colorful, ironic, tailored, cult pieces that will be passed from generation to generation. The production process is strictly local and follows the strictest ethical standards. In addition to being delicate, comfortable, versatile, and fresh, these fabrics are sustainable because they are made of Harris Tweed®, a 100% pure new wool raised in the UK, and lined in vegan satin.

Nenalife Kid Care
A cosmetic line created to cleanse and care for children's skin with simple, natural and safe ingredients.

Yaarn
Timeless and durable little crochet garments in soft wool and featuring a unisex color palette. The collection includes sweaters, cardigans, and essential cold-weather accessories designed by a mother-daughter team. Unique handmade pieces are produced ethically by Indian women through a social organization.
