NEW YORK (UNITED STATES) (ITALPRESS) – The Italian Institute of Culture in New York inaugurates the exhibition “Photos of Italian fashion: from the 1950s to today, Italy dresses international cinema”, scheduled on Wednesday 11 March at 18.00. Designed and curated by Stefano Dominella, the exhibition tells the deep link between cinema and fashion and shows how the big screen has contributed to internationalizing Italian fashion, transforming it into one of the most recognizable images of Made in Italy in the world.
On the occasion of the opening, Stefano Dominella will be in conversation with the Director of the Institute. The meeting will offer the public and the press the opportunity to retrace the origin of the exhibited leaders, the historical and cultural context in which they were born and the story that each dress brings with it: not simple costumes, but testimonies of an imaginary that has combined elegance, cinema and Italian identity.
The exhibition presents 40 dresses signed by famous couturiers, designers and Italian ateliers, worn by actresses and personalities who entered the international imagination. From the iconic post-war names to the most contemporary figures, the exhibition reconstructs a story in which Rome, Cinecittà and Hollywood intertwine in the birth and affirmation of Made in Italy.
Locandine, trailer, scene photos and archive materials complete the exhibition, giving the visitor the continuous dialogue between cinema and tailoring.
