Peroni Nastro Azzurro mounts exhibition to explore Italian Style's influence on film and film making
The Peroni Collection - Italian Style on the Silverscreen explores the relationship between Italian fashion design and its continual influence on film making, image making and characterisation. The exhibition will feature rare and never seen before images and costumes from the cinematic world.
The show references not only classic Italian films like La Dolce Vita and Bellissima, but also more recent titles (including Wallstreet and Nine). The images, taken from classic Italian film and fashion archives from around the world, showcase the beauty of Italian fashion on celluloid.
The collection has been selected from archives that include the British Film Institute, The Ferragamo Museum, the renowned Tirelli Tailoring House and the Film School, Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia. It brings together over 50 titles to tell the story of Italian style in celluloid from the past half-century of film-making.
As well as images selected by Anna, the exhibition will also showcase images selected by those involved in the creation of Italian style - with contributions from Salvatore Ferragamo creative director Christina Oritz and a host of Italian and UK-based film and fashion experts
