PITTI BIMBO 102 >>> 25-26 June 2025, Fortezza da Basso, Florence

As captured by Molly Magnuson.

Molly's photography captures the beauty of childhood through a lens that feels both fresh and playful, yet beautifully polished.

So why did Pirouette invite Molly to be the official photographer for Pirouette’s The Winter Moth Runway at Pitti Bimbo 102?

For her unique, documentary-style perspective one that captures the collective energy of the show: the smiles, the dancing, and of course, the FW26 style.

Grazie mille, Molly!

Pirouette’s The Winter Moth Runway, FW26

The Winter Moth tells the tale of a dreaming girl who, once asleep, transforms into a winter moth. She drifts into a magical forest, accompanied by her clumsy penguin friend Pitt. In an innocent mishap Pitt unknowingly traps the winter moth inside a giant snow globe.

As the question lingers, how will she escape? the forest comes alive. Forest girls, bears and foxes, snow sprites and tea-party insects all try to help. In the end, only Pitt the penguin can free the Winter Moth and by doing so awaken the girl from her dream.
