Pitti Uomo returned in 2025 for its 105th edition, continuing its legacy as a global stage for bold design and cutting-edge craftsmanship. Amid the luxury slowdown, with a reduction in big-brand shows and activations, buyers expected new names to bring some crucial energy this season. Taking place at the historic Fortezza da Basso in Florence, Italy, this year’s event promises to push boundaries while celebrating the artistry and heritage that have long defined the fashion capital of Tuscany.
The Kistermann Sisters Reveal Crime London’s New Collection
Among the luminaries who shaped the recent chapter of Pitti Uomo is Crime London, helmed by Florence-born sisters Lisa and Jessica Kistermann. “We are honoured and excited to be part of Pitti Uomo’s selected designers this January, as part of the world’s most important menswear fashion fair. We intend to bring the style and spirit of Crime London while presenting our new Fall/Winter 2025 collection. We are thrilled to return with Crime London to the Pittistage and bring to the forefront contemporary menswear footwear that will resonate with the attitude, concepts, and processes of our brand,” said the Kistermann Sisters in a press release.
Crime London continues to reinvent contemporary footwear with witty irreverence, blending streetwear influences with Italian craftsmanship. Their collections combine soft, organic materials in muted, earthy tones, juxtaposed with bold deconstructed textures and elements inspired by vintage designs.
“A deliberate sense of provocation feels natural, as it is intrinsic to the essence of our brand. Crime London explores different behaviours in the here and now, becoming symbols of inner nonconformity and independent expressions. Our sneakers celebrate the beauty and surprise of imperfection. To us, it seems like a return to our roots, reimagined through the dialogue between craftsmanship, deconstruction and individuality,” continue the Kistermann sisters.
Looking Forward to Pitti Uomo 105
As the 105th edition of Pitti Uomo came to a close, all eyes were on the Kistermann sisters, exemplifying the bridge between tradition and innovation. Crime London’s new collection once again pushed the boundaries of contemporary design, offering a perfect mix of past, present and future – a dynamic that not only defines their sneakers but also resonates with the enduring spirit of the city of Florence.
