Sporty Takes Over Traditional Men's Wear (IHT)
“The crowd of excited, energized young men around a giant screen in a key position at the Pitti Uomo fair told the whole story. The World Cup was on TV, and sports had taken over a pavilion once dedicated to formal suits, shirts and neckties.”

“With Annie Lennox as a vibrant, emotional accompaniment and a front row of celebrities including Morgan Freeman and Peaches Geldof, Dolce & Gabbana celebrated 20 years in menswear.”
