The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945-2014 will run at the V&A from the 5th April to the 27th July 2014.
The museum has spent three years sourcing pieces from its own archive, designers collections and private archives to put together this show. It’s the first exhibition of its kind and will chart the transformation of the Italian fashion industry.
Labels such as Gucci, Versace, Emilio Pucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Missoni.
Between the areas focusing on couture, the sporty, ready-to-wear labels that caught the attention of America, and the more-is-more style that we love about Italian labels.
The exhibition will also look at the influence that Hollywood stars had on the rise of Italy in the style stakes. So there are pieces picked up by Audrey Hepburn in Ferragamo and three incredible pieces of jewellery made for Elizabeth Taylor by the exhibition’s sponsor, Bulgari.
The final room will screen video interviews with designers, editors and couture technicians.
I will definitely be taking a trip to the V&A to see the Glamour of Italian Fashion exhibition.
