5 fashion exhibitions in September
Historically fashion and art have always gone hand-in-hand, often bordering one on the other. Thanks to Milano Fashion Week, and its increasingly inclusive collateral events, this is never more evident than in Milano every September with the mega explosion of stand-out colours, stimuli and concepts.
Particularly this year where, amongst the many exhibitions in Milano focusing on fashion, we have chosen 5 definitely not to be missed that celebrate the greatest photographers of the twentieth century - Avedon, Gastel, Toscani and Magnum photographers - but also herald new contemporary talent such as American artist Andrea Bowers.
At Palazzo Reale don't miss the works of the great photographer Richard Avedon who revolutionized the aesthetics of fashion photography. His innovative approach transformed his models from static objects into protagonists of the set, he created images that revealed the intimate character of each subject almost startling the viewer with their intensity, and counterposing new and surprising settings.
On display are a large selection of portraits of celebrities from the world of entertainment with actors and musicians but also civil rights activists, politicians and writers including the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Michelangelo Antonioni, Allen Ginsberg, Sofia Loren, Marylin Monroe, the Dalai Lama and two of Andy Warhol.
A multifaceted narrative of art, journalism and storytelling. The exhibition - curated by Giorgio Armani in collaboration with Magnum Photos - offers an eclectic perspective through the lenses of ten international photographers and their respective understanding of photography.
Some of these are contemporary artists, other have passed away but all are united by the collective desire to explore reality and to convey its suggestions and emotions through image.
Momenti di Moda. Dal Busto alla Salopette è la nuova mostra a Palazzo Morando sui cambiamenti avvenuti nella moda femminile tra il 1900 e il 1980.
All’inizio del ‘900 protagonista era il busto, poi man mano l’abito si adatta al movimento e dopo la parentesi della seconda guerra mondiale in cui scarseggiano le materie prime, è dagli anni ’50 e ’60 che la moda riprende la sua importanza nelle sartorie.
Finchè negli anni ’70 viene progettata e prodotta in serie dai nuovi designer, venduta in negozi, boutique e store e creando le basi del pret a porter
In a museum whose collections reference the period between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when the women's rights movement in Italy was taking its first steps, Andrea Bowers' first solo exhibition in an Italian institution - Moving in Space without Asking Permission - is the perfect response.
An immersive experience into the artist's work and her commitment to gender equality and women’s rights. Specifically, when art conveys socially relevant messages through the aesthetic power of its languages.
