Our second live recording this season.

This time recorded live from Pitti Bimbo 102 in Florence, this episode of Kidswear Therapy captures Katie and Linda in full “trade show mode” — equal parts industry insight and behind-the-scenes honesty. They kick off by celebrating Pirouette’s runway show at Pitti, complete with Winter styling (think fir trees and a snow-globe feel), and reflect on the teamwork it takes to pull off a runway moment, from hair and make-up students to fashion volunteers and generous brand collaborators.

From there, the conversation moves into the Pirouette Piazza, where Katie shares highlights from the brands she’s representing and those exhibiting in the space. Expect quick-fire notes on standout names including Et Liberi, Forivor, Blue Francis, Moitoinous, Goldie + Ace (with a Smurfs collab and “Buddy the Koala” mascot), Bundgaard’s heritage-meets-modern footwear, plus Halcyon Nights, Sticky Lemon and Paade Mode.

Linda then reports from around the fair, spotting buzzworthy installations like Bobo Choses’ “New Edit,” plus trend threads like story-led knitwear and the return of fleece. The episode wraps with a cheerful cameo from Italian journalist duo Petra and Enrico (Scimparello), with awards, and plenty of Florence love.
