Italian Style: Fashion since 1945, an exhibition that chronicles the birth and growth of the Italian fashion industry from the post–World War II recovery years to the present day. Program highlights include a conversational lecture by top model Karen Elson and fashion media professional and stylist Libby Callaway. A series of Artists’ Forums will feature some of Nashville’s best fashion and accessories designers in panel discussions, sharing their experiences and working methods. Projecting the Hollywood on the Tiber phenomenon on the big screen, the Frist Center’s “Italian Style on Celluloid” summer film series will screen La Dolce Vita, Roman Holiday, and Barefoot Contessa all on 35 mm.
Based on new archival research, Italian Style: Fashion since 1945 explores the development of both womens- and menswear and highlights key designers and the outstanding techniques, materials and expertise for which Italy has become renowned. More than 90 garments and accessories by leading Italian fashion houses, including Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Missoni, Prada, Pucci, Valentino and Versace will be on display. Curated by Sonnet Stanfill, curator of 20th-century and contemporary fashion at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, Italian Style will be on view in the Frist Center’s Ingram Gallery from June 5 to September 7, 2015.
