History of fashion and trends
The mirror of society and its changes 02 April – 21 May 2022
A workshop to discuss the history of the past century through the evolution of clothes and objects that have accompanied us in our daily lives, providing an original interpretation of current events. We’ll use the history of the changes in Costume as a mirror of changing society and history. With a historical cut linking the images to the narrative, the common thread is completed through the interaction of the narrator with the audience who, specifically solicited, will be asked to bring images, clothes, accessories and personal or family memories of the period discussed with them.
The workshop will be provided in person and in streaming; it is therefore possible to sign up for the desired mode.
In collaboration with Nicoletta De Menna
