L’abito regale come forma d’arte – Massimiliano Capella 7 Pannelli di sala e didascalie delle opere 13 1 Introduzione alla Mostra La Reggia di Venaria inaugura un’inedita mostra che celebra il genio creativo di Roberto Capucci (Roma, 1930) con un’attenzione speciale ad uno dei temi più cari al maestro della moda: la ricerca della regalità. Regalità intesa come resa solenne dell’abito, comune a tutta la produzione del maestro della moda Capucci dagli anni cinquanta ad oggi, dagli abiti da giorno e da gran sera, dalle creazioni per il palcoscenico a quelle per le cerimonie istituzionali e religiose, fino ai grandiosi abiti scultura appositamente ideati per le esposizioni museali. Roberto Capucci. La Ricerca della Regalità, allestita nelle Sale delle Arti della Reggia dal 23 marzo all’8 settembre 2013, ripercorre in 50 creazioni, 32 illustrazioni e bozzetti, video e testimonianze la predisposizione di Roberto Capucci all’ideazione di abiti dal sapore regale, riscontrabile sin dal suo debutto ufficiale in un contesto ricco di cultura e aristocrazia, la nascita a Firenze nel 1951 dell’alta moda italiana. Oriana Fallaci, in occasione delle sfilate fiorentine nel luglio del 1952, sottolinea come “il fior dei sorrisi e degli applausi è toccato alla rivelazione di questa “Fashion Show”...che ha presentato una sorprendente collezione: Roberto Capucci...Robertino ha portato alla mostra una collezione fresca e scanzonata di tailleurs...abiti di seta fabbricata a telaio, stretti e corti, con una incredibile coda di stoffa...fastosi mantelli double face, pieghettati, regali”.

This capsule wardrobe belonging to Margaret Abegg, the American wife of a prominent textile manufacturer and art collector, was made by her Turin dressmaker Maria Grimaldi. Abegg later donated the garments to the V&A with a note that when worn in Paris and New York, they had been much admired. On display for the first time will be two formal evening gowns, a day suit and a coat, alongside several pairs of shoes and leather gloves. Although these dresses do not carry the name of a couture house, they use the best quality textiles and feature a very high standard of technical skill and precise detailing.

  • The Meaning of 'Made in Italy' in Fashion
    OPEN SECTION The meaning of ‘Made in Italy’ in fashion Simona Segre Reinach Abstract In this paper I set out to account for the transformations and specific features of Italian fashion within a broader scenario created by the globalisation of industry, markets and consumption. While a retrospective gaze may lead us to interpret Italian fashion as a phenomenon that has simply evolved in time, a closer examination reveals a development made up of continuity, but also of discontinuities. Continuity may be perceived in the production of quality fabrics and artisan competences scattered throughout Italy. The discontinuities highlight different fashion cultures, production and consumption marking the phases of its development. Introduction While a retrospective gaze may lead us to interpret Italian fashion as a phenomenon that has simply evolved over time, a closer examination reveals development that is made up of continuity, but also of discontinuities. Continuity is evident in the production of quality fabrics and artisan competencies scattered throughout Italy. The discontinuities are highlighted by varied fashion cultures, production and consumption marking the phases of its development. Present- day Italian fashion lacks the precise profile that it had in the past decades, but ‘Italian style’ is still recognisable. What exactly Italian style is, however, is not easy to grasp. In this essay, I suggest that understanding the concept of ‘Made in Italy’ in relation to Italian style requires research into the cultural history of Italian fashion and design, its ambiguities and historical evolution. This essay aims to account for the transformations and specific features of Italian fashion within the broader scenario created by the globalisation of industry, markets and consumption.1 The basic ingredients of Italian fashion were defined in 1981 in a special issue of Domus, the celebrated journal of architecture and design, which was devoted to fashion.

    1 What do you think of when you hear “Italian fashion” What comes to mind? We all are familiar with large brand names and famous designers who come from Italy, but how many of us are aware of their history? Before beginning this project, I was blissfully unaware of the rich history Italian fashion had and how much of it shaped Italy’s national identity. Studying abroad in Rome last spring, I lived in a neighborhood whose main street is one of the main shopping centers in Rome. Walking by high end fashion boutiques and expensive department stores everyday peaked my interest into the world of fashion and specifically, how Italian fashion came to dominate the industry. Doing more research and exploring this topic for my senior capstone, I saw just how important Italian fashion is and was to the Italian people. After World War II, Italian fashion bloomed into a booming industry with the help of some key players and good timing. 2 So lets look at Italy after World War II. with Italy’s dire financial situation, the only way they could begin to rebuild after the war was to accept help from the United States. In the era that followed the end of World War II, Italy seized many opportunities that led them to achieve a status of world domination in one particular avenue, Fashion. Notable as well is Paris’ decline after the War. France was also left in economic peril and was unable to produce the kind of high end fashion it had been before the war.
