Guillaume Henry's Carven presentation at Pitti was all about presenting the brand not the collection, describing the show as "Paris meets Firenze." In a hired velodrome Henry treated guests to a five course meal as they watched a race of costumed waiters, commentated by an Italian announcer. The waiters were soon joined by models decked out in the Spring/Summer 2013 collection and the extravaganza ending with a live Florentine military band.
