The event
What happens when fashion meets the body? Maria Luisa Frisa, one of the most authoritative voices in Italian fashion culture, invites us to see clothes not as frivolous objects but as cultural devices that generate identity, desires and imaginaries.
Amid catwalks and ateliers, magazine pages, mannequins and dress patterns, the choice of what to wear unfolds a system of signs and tools (sizes, silhouettes, make-up as a mask or as an act of freedom) showing that the body is never fixed once and for all, but continually negotiated and rewritten.
In conversation with Giorgiomaria Cornelio, poet, writer and film director, and Fabiola Naldi, art historian, critic and curator.
