Pitti Immagine Bimbo 91 presents one of the most popular sections of the fair on Pitti Connect: The Nest. It is here that the always attentive and dynamic scouting of the Berlin store/concept lab Little Pop Up brings together very young brands, often in their first collection, with a big potential to emerge. For these energetic kidswear innovators, The Nest is an actual nest, an opportunity to grow by presenting their fashion projects to the Pitti community. And for visitors, this is the right section to preview the designers who will mark the future of children's fashion.
