This September, the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation presents Italia è Moda, an exceptional showcase of Made in Italy. The international touring project makes its sole stop in the United States and aims to promote the excellence of Italian fashion and its creative industries worldwide.
Curated by Clara Tosi Pamphili, Italia è Moda unfolds as a theatrical stage where garments, accessories, and iconic objects engage in a dialogue through different moments of everyday life. The exhibition features creations by renowned Italian fashion designers, including haute couture, textiles, leather goods, footwear, eyewear, jewelry, goldsmithing, and cosmetics. Among the highlights are two original costumes from Federico Fellini’s Casanova, which won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design in 1977. The exhibition is further enhanced by audiovisual content and interactive digital installations illustrating the creative processes and heritage of the participating Italian companies.
This exhibition is free and open to the public.
