Hed Mayner - Guest Designer - Pitti Uomo 109
HED MAYNER, Founder and Creative Director of the eponymous brand
@hedmayner will be Guest Designer for the upcoming edition of Pitti Immagine Uomo, No. 109 (Florence, January 13-16, 2026). For the occasion, he will stage a special runway show in Florence, bringing to life an event in his unmistakable style.
“Creating is thinking with your hands,” says Francesca Tacconi, Special Events Coordinator at Pitti Immagine. “That’s what Hed Mayner’s collections seem to whisper. At the heart of his vision lies the body – the common denominator between attitude, movement, fit and individual taste. His is a conceptual, almost architectural approach, in open dialogue with the fluidity of the present. Strength and lightness, craftsmanship and tailoring merge in garments that appear to rest effortlessly on the body, yet are charged with physicality. Clothes that defy convention – of gender, of context, even of gravity – interpreting sculptural and oversized forms. Hed never ceases to surprise us with the delicate balance he achieves in every piece, without any apparent effort, through contrasts: poetry and comfort, freedom and precision, intellect and craftsmanship. For all these reasons and more, we can’t wait to welcome Hed Mayner to Pitti Uomo this January and discover the project he is creating for his Florentine debut.”
“I would like to thank Pitti Uomo for their invitation to present my new collection in January. It is a great honor to be a part of Pitti, which represents a genuine support for creativity, and I am so excited to be able to show my work in such an amazingly rich and historical city like Florence. This new context will encourage me to try new things.” - Hed Mayner
