Post Archive Faction named guest designer of Pitti Uomo
The South Korean avant-garde sportswear and outerwear brand, founded by young Korean designers Dongjoon Lim and Sookyo Jeong, will stage a special event 'conceived specifically for Pitti Uomo and its international audience'. Its presentation will be supported by Pitti Immagine and the Korea Creative Content Agency.
Lapo Cianchi, director of communications and events at Pitti Immagine, said in a statement: 'For several seasons now at Pitti, we've been paying particular attention to the culture and aesthetic of South Korea.
'It's a growing market, highly significant for Italian fashion and for the fair – considering the strong turnout of journalists and business professionals at Pitti Uomo – but also a fertile ground for scouting the new generation of fashion designers and young creatives who stand out for their versatility and ability to connect different artistic languages and disciplines.'
PAF has become known in recent seasons for pushing the boundaries, exploring new techniques, materials, and silhouettes, and developing an aesthetic that blends archival references, asymmetrical cuts, sportswear-inspired solutions and experimental design.
The event conceived for Pitti Uomo 'will serve as a window into the new desires of young consumers, capturing the pulse of the freshest trends in the global market,' explains the South Korean brand.
PAF showcased its first collection in 2018 and has presented during Milan and Paris Fashion Weeks over the past years. Its collections are available in 75 stores worldwide, including Dover Street Market, SSense, H.Lorenzo, GR8, and online at postarchivefaction.com and PAF flagship store in Seoul.
The announcement follows Homme Plissé Issey Miyake being named as guest of honour at the menswear trade show in March.

Italian-Irish comedian Vittorio Angelone coming to Glasgow
An Italian-Irish comedian from Belfast, Vittorio Angelone, will perform at Glasgow's Theatre Royal on Sunday, March 29, 2026, as part of his new UK tour, You Can't Say Nothing Any More. The 24-date tour follows his sold-out 2023 and 2024 tours, which saw the comedian play more than 100 packed-out shows across the country. Read more: 'Incredible' American band announces Glasgow gig - alongside special guests His 2023 show, Who Do You Think You Are? I Am! sold out before the Edinburgh Fringe even began and went on to become a 138-date international tour, selling 30,000 tickets across the UK, Ireland, Europe, the Middle East, Australia, and Canada. During that tour, one of his shows was cancelled after counter-terrorism police were contacted about one of his Instagram posts, an event the comedian is set to explore in his new Edinburgh Fringe show this year. Angelone also recently filmed his second stand-up special at Glasgow's Oran Mor, which is set for release soon. He has previously supported comedians such as Russell Howard, Michael Che, Ivo Graham, and Adam Rowe, and co-hosts the podcast Mike & Vittorio's Guide to Parenting with fellow comedian Mike Rice. He is also the co-creator of the YouTube series Fin vs The Internet, featuring guests like Jamie Laing and JaackMaate. Read more: Coronation Street star to star in stage adaptation of iconic 90s thriller During his new tour, Angelone will explore his Northern Irish upbringing, the legacy of The Troubles, and the pressures facing comedians in an era of intense debate about offence and activism in comedy. Angelone's next run at the Edinburgh Fringe is already sold out, with additional late-night shows added at Underbelly's McEwan Hall on August 8 and 22, 2025, due to high demand. Tickets for the Glasgow date and the rest of the UK tour are on sale now via Vittorio Angelone's official website.
