Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This major exhibition will be a glamorous, comprehensive look at Italian fashion from the end of the Second World War to the present day. The story is explored through the key individuals and organizations that have contributed to Italy\u2019s reputation for quality and style. The exhibition will include both women\u2019s fashion and menswear, highlighting the exceptional techniques, materials, and expertise for which Italy has become renowned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Style: Fashion Since 1945<\/em> will examine Italy\u2019s dramatic transition from post-war devastation to a burgeoning industry facilitated by the landmark \u201cSala Bianca\u201d catwalk shows held in Florence in the 1950s, propelling Italian fashion onto the world stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the 1950s and \u201860s several high-profile Hollywood films were shot on location in Italy, which had an enormous impact on fashion as stars like Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor became style ambassadors for Italian fashion, fueling a keen international appetite for luxurious clothing made in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the early 1970s, the popularity of couture gave way to enthusiasm for manufactured fashion. Milan became Italy\u2019s new fashion capital. Since the mid-1990s, fashion has become a global trade with Italian designers becoming celebrities, solidifying Italy\u2019s reputation as an international tastemaker. The exhibition concludes with an examination of the future of Italian fashion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
