On June 16, 2026, the 110th Pitti Uomo kicked off in Florence, Italy. Consinee presented its brand-new creative art project Suspended Grounds at the new Cavedio Exhibition Area in the Fortezza Central Pavilion, launching a four-day international fashion and art journey. The media open day is scheduled for 10:30 on June 17, and we sincerely welcome global industry partners, designers and fashion enthusiasts to visit and experience the exhibition.

 

Xue Jingli, Chairman of Consinee Group, was invited to attend the opening ceremony of Pitti Uomo and delivered a speech on site. He conducted in-depth exchanges with benchmark figures from political, business and fashion circles including Eugenio Giani, President of Tuscany Region, Sara Funaro, Mayor of Florence, Antonio de Matteis, Chairman of PITTI IMMAGINE, Ivano Cauli, CEO of PITTI IMMAGINE, and Luca Sburlati, Chairman of the Italian Fashion Industry Entrepreneurs Association. He shared the brand's on-ground practices and cutting-edge insights on deep cultivation of sustainable fashion with international stakeholders, and deeply engaged in core topics of global fashion exchanges.

 

On the first day of the exhibition, the exhibition area attracted overwhelming popularity. The unique installation space and creative knitworks drew a large number of international fashion practitioners, designers and overseas media to stop, visit and discuss, creating a warm on-site atmosphere. The brand's outstanding performance also attracted attention from international authoritative media. Consinee was featured in Italy's authoritative national newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, Moda24, HUB Magazine, la Repubblica and Textures Magazine, marking further recognition of its international influence. As a leading enterprise in the global high-end yarn and sustainable cashmere fiber sectors, this is the second chapter of creative cooperation launched by Consinee after its renewed collaboration with Sara Sozzani Maino and Galib Gassanoff. Breaking away from the framework of traditional commercial exhibitions, this exhibition integrates handicraft, textile art and modern fashion. With the core concept of "Textile becomes the surface, and the surface becomes the language", it creates an immersive art installation space.

 

The whole creation is inspired by traditional carpets, deconstructing and reshaping classic elements that carry profound cultural deposits and textured charm. More than ten pieces of knitworks adopt cutting-edge crafts such as 3D knitting and fabric texture reconstruction, matched with a color system of ivory white, fog gray, pure black and striking sail red, presenting both sculptural and dynamic textures. Inside the exhibition hall, the wooden structure sourced from looms suspends the works in the air, making yarn, craft and material themselves the main body of narration and blurring the boundary between fashion, textile and fine art. Each work is not only a wearable garment, but also an art carrier that carries the creation process and the intrinsic warmth of materials.

 

Chairman Xue Jingli of Consinee noted: "We chose to bring this project to the new Cavedio space in Fortezza Central Pavilion this season because we hope to showcase Consinee's continuous creativity and global vision from a more open and core location. For us, this is more than just an exhibition—it is a key step in Consinee's long-term creative platform initiative. Through this presentation, we hope to enable more people to see the energy and future potential contained in China's textile technology, innovation capability and material R&D."

 


The artistic atmosphere of Florence and Oriental craftsmanship collide and integrate here. The four-day exhibition will continue with wonderful content. Welcome to the Cavedio space to explore the poetic realm constructed by yarn and experience the infinite possibilities of knit art!
