The Fondazione Pitti Discovery has selected Fabio Quaranta, the winner of the 2010 edition of "WHO IS ON NEXT? UOMO" in the prêt-à-porter category as the New Performer for Pitti Uomo 79. The "New Performers" is a Pitti Discovery program aimed at creating opportunities for new talents in fashion and for those who work with fashion's materials combing fashion with artistic and esthetic disciplines. "This invitation is a fantastic opportunity to show my work to the international audience at Pitti Uomo", says Fabio Quaranta. "This new collection with my signature is sort of a rebirth for me. Its mood will be called "The Hallucinatory Mountain", and it was inspired by "Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain", a 2009 recording by the Current 93 -- an eclectic British experimental band, active since the '80s - whose members agreed to help with the collection: David Tibet is the visual artist and Babe Dee will play during my performance".
