FASHION DIALOGUES is a series of conversations that will explore the centrality fashion has for Italian culture and society. Fashion historian Matteo Augello will present unique voices in the industry, covering topics such as journalism, modelling, curation, styling and emerging talents.
This first event is with Lucia Savi, curator at the Design Museum, London. In 2021 she curated the V&A exhibition Bags: Inside Out and contributed to fashion and design exhibitions and their catalogues including Shoes: Pleasure and Pain (2015) and The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945–2014 (2014). Lucia Savi will discuss her career as well as her latest book, A New History of Made in Italy, Fashion and Textiles in Post War Italy, published by Bloomsbury in 2023.
