- In this new edition of Sartorial Talks, Hugo welcomes Guillaume Bo and his wife Angelique to speak about the famous menswear trade show called Pitti Uomo.
Pitti Uomo is an iconic menswear trade show where tens of thousands of elegant men from all around the world gather twice a year in Florence Italy to celebrate classic style. A place where you can meet the best dressed men on earth. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

I'm 20 years old, in college pursuing a bachelor's in fashion design and have been living and breathing classic menswear and sartorial elegance since i was 16. Which might seem ironic considering i don't have a lot of pieces in my wardrobe that represent my true style. But i do love that channels, people, and communities like these still exist. It keeps the hope alive that classic menswear is still alive and there are still so many passionate and loving people in this community. I thank you for your service Hugo. One of my goals is to start my brand and represent it at Pitti Uomo one day. :)
Angelique has such a eye stopping look. Very elegant, and feminine. Really appealing
Found a Turnbull&Asser blazer the otherday for $9, insane 🎉
No offense to Guillaume but my goodness! Your lovely bride steals the show. Just charming!
Sorry but no
First of all,
Thank you Hugo and Sonya for having us on your show. It was a joy to visit and hang out with you both for a few days. Hugo I am in awe at your gift of the conversational dance you have mastered. Thank you for making me feel at ease during this chat together. 😘
On another note, I find it interesting that a few people have to put their two cents in and try to chime in about HAT ETIQUETTE that they think they know something about. I find it quite interesting to see how individuals feel the need to tell my husband what they think they know with such surety. It’s on the level of a person reading a book about how to play basketball thinking that they can tell Michael Jordan how to move on the court. It’s quite interesting to witness such behavior of those condemning others when they more than likely don’t adhere to dressing in classic style on a regular basis. I have seen Americans online criticize Italians for not wearing socks with their suits in summer, when these Italians have more style in their pinky finger than them.
My husband obviously has his style together, and knows the codes about style etiquette being that he not only is well read on the subject but also lives it DAILY FOR DECADES, and revered for it internationally. He is VERY AWARE of how to conduct himself in the circumstances he navigates. Hat etiquette is more complex than a novice could believe. After all, people rarely wear hats now-a-days and rules change over time. My husband looks great at the end of the day 😁 Geez…I wasn’t expecting to write a novel 😜
Thank you Angelique for gracing our world with your light, passion, and magnificent elegance.
Thanks Angelique for your enthusiasm! Sonya and I were delighted to have both of you at home. It's been a lot of fun. Concerning the hat, it just made sense for Gui to keep his hat as it was the subject of the talk. And he wears it perfectly! Warmly, Hugo
The Fedora looks cool. I live in Tokyo and enjoy to wear my Borsalino Fedora during the winter. Few men wear hats anymore but what do people say about my Fedora - looks cool…
So nice to see well-dressed men. In Canada, where I live, men and women are not known for their dress sense.
It's pretty much the same nowadays all around the world, but we are resisting! All my best, Hugo
I was thinking the same thing when I watched this video.
Is Montreal still an inspiration?
@@bdkg1 it’s better than anywhere else in Canada-severe winters make it hard to dress elegantly for Canadians.
@@MrMarioman107 How did Canadians do it in the 1940's?
Guillaume has so much charisma. I'm inspired to go try on some hats this weekend
That's a great idea! Cheers, Hugo
Mister/Monsieur Guillaume Bo And His Suite; Looks Exquisite!!!!
I grew up watching old Hollywood movies and subconsciously clung to classic, feminine styles. Watching Angelique's interview was a particular treat for me because I hardly see women of colour dressed in classic style in the media. Like Angelique, I feel most comfortable in A-line dresses, and I find that skirts are actually perfect for winter.
A+: for me Cary Grant was a man of style for then and now. 😎
Isn't it technically cultural appropriation that Europeans/whites are so often accused of?
@@j.langer5949 If you think skirts and classic, feminine styles are proprietary to 'English' wear, sure. But if you broaden your horizons to include other traditional clothing e.g. African/ Asian, you'll find we have classic/ feminine and modern/ avant garde styles that can't be called cultural appropriation.
@@j.langer5949 Brilliant observation! I am sick and tired of all that rubbish. We created everything that is useful and nice and yet we do not get any credit for it.
What a fantastic episode. Just splendid. The concept of comfort in juxtaposition to style is false. Well cut clothes are comfortable. Fit is the foundation of comfort. Baggy stretchy clothes try to make a shortcut to fit. Find your size, buy your size and it’ll be unbelievably comfortable. Once the fit is right, the style is actually not too hard to sort out. Bruce Boyer, Alan Flusser, learn a few rules and bingo! You’re looking so smart with no effort
I`m a 28 year-old Brazilian. I have been make an effort to dress elegantly for the past years and I truly appreciate the opportunity of watching this conversation, since in Brazil it is pretty hard to find good inspiration and even good pieces of clothing. It is a challenge for me, because buying from Europe and US is very expensive (even considering the cheaper brands), but learning concepts helps a lot in using my very limited budget the best way possible. By the way, I already knew Gui Bo, even being from Brazil. I`ve been following him over a year.
I feel you. I'm in Europe, Croatia to be exact, so it's a bit more lax with shipping costs (though shipping to Croatia is still probably the most expensive in Europe). But finding good classic pieces locally is nearly impossible. People are terribly uncultured here. Second hand shops like Goodwill would die the same month because people would rather throw old stuff in the bin than donate or give it to someone for free. So vintage is absolutely not an option, leaving terrible fashion brands as my only option. The good old tailors all closed their shops decades ago because of my country's aggressive policy towards small businesses and the bigger local companies all make trash, even at 1000€ for a made to measure (but bad pattern and cheap material) suit.
For example, I'm attempting to find a wearable double breasted linen jacket at the moment. There's exactly one semi-decent option in the country, and it's lined with polyester and the fit is off even on the model. Ugh.
What a wonderful TH-cam channel. I’m in my 40s and just barely now got my first suit. It feels so wonderful to put on a piece of clothing that is tailored for you. I’m glad I found this channel. The way you explain things helps me so much.
I love that good hats are making a comeback. A classic hat lends such an attitude of easy elegance.
Thank you, Hugo and Sonia, for another wonderful episode. It may sound like hyperbole, but I am completely genuine when I say that such conversations inspire me to be a better person.
What a fantastic video! Thank you Hugo. Guillaume is exceptionally well dressed and Angelique is a breath of fresh air. What a dazzling couple. I love how the semi-annual Pitti Uomo menswear trade show is getting better known. We need a revolution in how we are dressing as I don't think we can sink any lower; the only way out has to be up!!
Excellent presentation..lovely to see that us men are not being left behind when it comes to great classic style...keep up the good work...
Thank you very much! Cheers, Hugo
Simply inspiring to see other people expressing their love for taste, manners, respect, classic culture and fashion in such lovely way! Thank you for the excellent work 👏
It's absolutely true, this GuiBo guy has an Elegance that many don't have. He has a very particular style all his own. Associated with his elegant wife it forms the perfect combo.
I come here for the fashion, but it’s also great to see couples bond through a shared passion for the same interest!
Breath of fresh air and confirmation of classical fashions as a social equalizer for all classes... Great episode thanks🎉
Thank you, Hugo!
Gui and his lovely wife are such an inspiration. Their Instagram is a treasure trove of class and style. For me, they are easily one of the best-dressed couples on earth. I've realized it's all about a cultivated eye that gives one taste, and they have it in spades. Their classic Hollywood aesthetic is something that works for them so well. It makes them appear larger than life and I'm certain they always turn heads.
Together Gui and Angelique additionally exude something so rare: Gui unapologetically embraces his masculinity and she her femininity, and this primal formula is as glorious and needed as ever. Everywhere today we see men and women dress the same: jeans and t-shirts, sneakers, backpacks, etc. The modern world didn't just bring equality, it sadly brought sameness, and men and women are obviously not the same - one of the cruel lies of our modern culture. This beautiful difference is not something to be ashamed of in relationships but fearlessly celebrated. Gui and Angelique embody this celebration at the highest aesthetic levels and the results produce palpable sparks.
Hugo here is as gracious and warm-spirited as always. He has such a golden touch to his words and it comes from such an earnest place. I've learned from Hugo that a beautiful spirit on the inside always shows up as part of the outfit on the outside. Its power is real and cannot be bought in any boutique. My love and gratitude to you all (and to Sonia too ! even though she was not here).
That was Exceptionally well said!
Thank you for the great talks and upholding the tradition of dressing well.Lots of love from Bangladesh 🙏
Thank you my friend. Be well, Hugo
@@SARTORIALTALKS Merci 😊
Had to reiterate kudos for the video, as I make it through each section I dig it more and more. Just brilliant
I wish my name was Pitti Uomo it sounds so posh 👌🏽
Well for an historical building yes! But not for a human! Cheers, Hugo
Excellent and thank you 🙏🏾
You're very welcome! Hugo
you are all so sharp!! it's so great to see people who believe in presenting themselves proper in public!!!
Thank you for this, Hugo and Sonya! I haven't yet made it to Pitti, and have wondered if it would really be a place for me, as I'm not a peacock, and tend to be shy in large groups. But this interview says that even someone relatively new to style, and wearing MTM rather than bespoke (in other words, someone like me) could well find a place there. Perhaps some year the winter Pitti will line up with travel to Europe for me and I'll be able to get there and meet some of these great people from the men's style world that I've been following online.
This was my second time hearing Gui and Angelique, and both times I've enjoyed very much hearing about their experiences (the other was on the MensWear by a Woman podcast). Thank you for bringing them to the show this week!
I just recently started getting into all this stuff about a couple months ago. Hugo and many others have been a great help. Stay awesome guys!
Thank you my friend! All my best, Hugo
I really connected with Guillaume's experience of getting 'thrifted' or repurposed quality garments and wearing them with a double pleasure: you feel and look good; you haven't paid a high price. Hugo: you continue to interview with clarity and grace - I continue to enjoy and benefit from Sartorial Talks.
Thanks
Tony
Thank you Hugo for another video. It’s has been a while but this was as always worth waiting for. Pitti Uomo. What an event. And Gui is such an interesting character. Lovely discussion.
Many thanks Alan for your kind words. Cheers, Hugo
Excellent point about how modern/ present day energy is beneficial to having a vibrant healthy attitude to men’s style
Gui really is the coolest guy. Great interview Hugo, such a treat!
Greetings from Toronto. The fact that Pitti is held in Florence makes sense and fits in well with the aesthetic. Bucket list addition. We have a "boutique" room in our condo building where people leave items and there, just waiting for me, was a book mentioned previously by Hugo called Bespoke The Men's Style Of Saville Row. Lucky find. Lastly, my neighbour who is 92, her father was a tailor who worked at Benson, Perry + Whitley on Cork Street in London. They did tailoring for Ian Fleming, Leslie Howard and Herbert Marshall.
Thank you for another such inspiring episode. Classic style lives on!
I would really like to see one of these talks with Henrik Hjerl as a guest speaker - make it happen! Please!
Thanks so much for another great one!
Wow! The realm of sartorial composure is beautiful! Look at your guest, the beautiful black lady for example! Just like Sonya she brings something extra, beyond every day trifles to the conversation. And that name, like a whiff of Paradise!
I’m at the end of the video and am feeling such a positive vibe just a wonderful diversion. Cheers to all
Thanks again Hugo, Pitti Uomo is now on my "bucket list".
Wonderful video Hugo. Great insight into Pitti Uomo. Merci Monsieur!
What an elegant couple. Very nice indeed.
Great episode!!! 👏
What a great video listening to true ladies and gentlemen 🙂
We LOVE Hugo in the USA! Cheers Gentlemen! From Houston TX.
Bravo Hugo, Guillaume et Angelique! Merci
What a great episode, and encouraging to those of us who have limited resources. One day I hope to attend.
Great segment.
Love these videos Thankyou.
You are very welcome my friend! Hugo
Not Europe, not America, watching it from Bangladesh. Fell in love with classic styles at a very early age and following Pitti Uomo and Sartorial Talks for a very L--O--N--G time.
Think you very much for the inspiring Interview, the interesting fotos in between and the interview with the most charming Angelique as the „crown“.
This was great interview with a lot of ideas. I sure agree that beauty (although often subjective and on the eye of the beholder) does have an impact on people.
Glad to see your well Hugo....My mother was from florence she modeled for Dior in the 1950's in Paris. She met my father... immigrant from Ireland here in NYC. Married 50 happy yrs I was blessed. greatest parents a boy could have...Cheers
I want yo thank you, it was like destiny having discover this video and chanel, just today i learned about Pitti Uomo and wanted to know more, and here i was received by this lovely interview. I can't wait to also look at your vídeo talking about faahion books (sorry if i misspelled something, english is not my first lenguage, salutations from Venezuela!)
So glad to see an interview with this couple you have mentioned before. Love Angelique's attachment to historical styles as that is also what attracts me to wool suiting, and wool tweeds especially. Hugo, stay hatless. Hats are for men with short to no hair, you have beautiful hair.
I concur. I have been looking for men with long hair wearing a tweed hat that looks good and it's so hard to find!
💕 Classic Elegant Attire 💕
Great video, thank you very much!
Avec joie Gauthier ! Amicalement, Hugo
Another excellent vid on Classic Men's Style and growing an appreciation for dressing well!👔👞
Thanks for expressing your views and examples of Sophisticated Styles. I especially resignated with the part of the vid when you mentioned the impact beauty has in our lives.
The brilliant and famous Architect Frank Loyd Wright belonged to the "House Beautiful" concept, an Architectural Philosophy that understood that ' If your surrounded by beauty, it has a positive effect on your well being'! I share that Sentiment!🏞🌹☝🙏
Here's to living a more Elegant and purposeful life!✌👍🕊
Great show Hugo! Guillame and Angelique are great guests! And we are missing Sonya!
....Angelique: elegant, eloquent and natural.
Thank you Hugo for bringing this couple closer to us.....I follow tham on Instagram.... what a elegant couple
Very informative video. Thank you for posting it.
This was great! Gui and his wife are extremely stylish. I've taken a lot of ques from him. Great interview and i hope to get to Pitti in the winter
Fascinating discussion. Thank you for introducing and inviting us, the viewer, to participate at Pitti Uomo. And best of luck with finding the right hat, Monsieur Hugo.
Touching your hat is such a gracious old world gesture that everyone recognizes and loves. What a beautiful world it would be if these two fine gents could make this comeback!
@@gdfghsdjkfhljdkjkldkhgakgjdkfa Geesh, cut the man some slack, he's doing an interview and his hat is an integral part of his ensemble. Tho, I agree in princible that a gentleman should never don a hat indoors. That said, Guillaume is still an incredibly stylish man with unique fresh insights into this world.
I was at Pitti last year ! Best experience ever
I love the Sapeurs of Congo. They are the antithesis of practicality and rationality. In a bland world dominated by cost cutting, rationalisation and efficiency the Sapeurs are true revolutionaries.
¡Una entrevista estupenda! It would have been great to hear the four chat at a round table.
I love thiis Congratulations Guillaume BO. So proud of you.
Such a joyful video! I'd love to go to Piti Uomo one day.
And you'd be most welcome for sure! Cheers, Hugo
I'm thankful for having found your channel, Hugo! I just became a Subscriber!
I love the Classic Style and I love what Guy said about Classic with a Modern touch.
And I agree that the powers that be have hypnotized many Americans to be "comfortable".
Comfort is the death of progress.
Hugo, any recommendations on dressing in the classic style without breaking the bank?
Thanks!
Hugo and Sonya hello! Long time since your latest video. Can you make a video regarding summer outfits? I'm Greek and I would like to know more about summer dressing in very hot temperatures above 35 degrees. Cheers!
I'm going to start wearing a cravat tied like his. I just think it's awesome and the colors you could incorporate are endless.And Giuom has a wife with a grace and elegance about her that is timeless. I wish more women new the power of style and elegance.
These two people are grand masters of their art.
Thanks to talk about Portugal Mr. Hugo, you must know Paulo Battista, is a portuguese tayloring and is amazing. Once again congratulations for the chanel. Another great vídeo.
Brilliant. Every grown up man should study this. Sadly, very few will. Taking ownership of your own personal style should be every man's priority. Most men simply never understand that.
Attire for men here amazing style ny my mentor gui sir❤
GUI mentioned the Low Lifes, that man is In tuned on a deeper level. Wow Hugo you never cease to amaze😎😎😎👍
My, I love that tie with that jacket. Perfect harmonization. Not too fond of wearing a hat indoors; but that was how I was raised.
My husband is known for wearing hats. As a guest, it makes sense he wears it when his style was an integral part of the conversation.
I'll be honest - I love the hat. We wear hats like this down here in Australia. Still. Not everyone, but the style is still around as a regular item of standard attire for some.
What a wonderful interview! Thank you, so much. Links are not in the description.
11:08 that's exactly what's currently holding me back from getting down the rabbit hole. If I'm getting into something I have to do it right and belong to the "best". It seems like it takes decades to achieve that.
It's very interesting (somewhat surprising) to hear Gui talk about (NYC) LO-LIFE. I grew up in the Bronx. That whole LO movement was mostly a Brooklyn thing. In the old days I worked at Bloomingdale's (Manhattan) & Yes, those kids would boost Polo all day 😂. Security had to beef up.
Mister Guillaume Bo is super cool just like me 😁
Yes Davide! Best, Hugo
During the mid-nineties, the idea in corporate was to allow for more casual wear, the initial idea being that this would stimulate employees to work more and to be more productive in the work place. Now, most companies in the US have realized that this has had the opposite effect to the one desired: the more workers dress casually, the less productive and enthusiastic they become! Hence a movement back to more formal wear. This is not at all surprising. We must remember clothing is a tool which influences our state of mind. The medium is the message. You dress like you want to act and like the person you want to be.
Many thanks for your interesting contribution! All the best, Hugo
Thank you so much for this fantastic episode and topic,,,,,my dream is to join Pitti Uomo one day and meet all of you dears, Much respect & Love to you Hugo & Sonya from Cairo.
A place where men come to “peacock “. I would say “Style and Profile” . I 💯 respect and agree with the notion. Personally, I believe that the best time for fashion, either for men and women, is Fall/Winter. Thanks for sharing.
I have a jacket that is very similar to Guilliame's, I would love to have a matching waist coat. Absolutely rocking the Fedora my man. Here's an idea Hugo, a segment with Sonya and Angelique together. I would enjoy seeing those beautiful women discussing style and fashion.
Very nice &elegant jacket 👌
Thanks 🙏
Great content & awesome couple. It's so refreshing to see an elegant & very beautiful Sister doing the damn thing, yet not half naked nor ratchet!! This is so interesting Hugo, bacause I've been following Gui on social media for some time. Now I'll follow Angelique ❤
Thanks Chris for your kind words and yes, you should definitely follow Angelique. Beautiful people and good friends of Sonya and I. Cheers, Hugo
As a Brother, respectfully, I honestly wish you would have left the “half naked nor ratchet” part out as all could have used their imagination in that regard. I only say this because I agree with the remainder of your comment.
@@YacDiesel Respectfully, we gotta keep it real brother. Accountability starts at home. Funny thing is this Sister looks so much like Janelle Monáe. Even her style is remenicscent of early Janell, stylishly sofisticated. But have you seen Janelle's new image 🤦🏾♂️? Hey to each their own I guess 🤷🏾♂️. Thanks for the compliment still 👍🏾
@@chrisv.s.3403 I understand. The point I’m trying to instill is that there is always a time and, more importantly, a “place” to state these things. If you catch my drift.
@@YacDiesel I agree with you, that kind of language that was used can actually serve to promote or reinforce negative stereotypes.
Better to celebrate someone’s elegance and good taste without making degrading comparisons, in my humble opinion. 🙏
Quel plaisir de vous voir tous les trois avec l’élégance et le naturel, il y avait matière à discussion plus approfondie que le peu de temps que l’on a au Pitti 👌
To me it's art ! It's about blending colors and blending it well.And feeling well inside whatever it put on.....😁
Yes indeed, there is nothing like a well heeled man. My Italian Grandpa was a Barber! Oh Weee did he smell good. He was stylish everyday. I miss him, I miss style like that! Everything is so casual!
and of course once in Firenze you have to visit the Officina Profumo Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella which has been there since 1221 I think. Tabacco Toscana is my favourite scent of theirs.
Wonderful piece! This inspires me to visit Pitti Uomo.... I'm not sure if it's been asked yet, but I would love to know where Guillaume's tie is from! AMAZING.
Thank you Hugo Jacomet for this amazing edition of Sartorial Talks. The watch you are wearing caught my attention, it is really nice and elegant watch. What brand and model is it.
Wow!!! I’m very interested in attending!!! I like to dress and often wear interesting pieces that often get noticed. This wonderful conversation has me interested in looking for a few new pieces to add to what I am developing! Al’s, I love hats! 🎩
merci Hugo pour la magnifique vidéo. A mon avis, pour bien s'habiller, il faut avoir : un bon goût de base, bien soigner son physique, et un bon œil pour imaginer de bons produits
I like that you try to emphasize that it doesn't have to be about money, but to some extent it is. But I see your point
I see Angelique’s comments about hats. Men’s hats are in my view the hardest classic wardrobe piece to pull off well. But when you do - like Gui - WOW!! Like he says, it just takes trial
and error. But the first step is ALWAYS to ensure that the hat properly fits your head!
I would love to go to Pitti, so I assume from what you're saying I could go as a non-exhibitor or buyer, just a working tailor and have a good look around while experiencing the style.
What a CLASS ACT couple!!!!
Thank you for incredible video. Until I can get to Florence. is there anything like pitti Uomo. Here in the United States. Do you have any conversations with anyone from the gentleman's gazette plan for the future.
