About

“Celebrating Italian Fashion’s Enduring American Legacy: Giorgini, Gucci, Armani, and the Making of Global Style” explores the reciprocal influence of Italian fashion on American culture, and of American markets, celebrity culture, and investment on Italian fashion’s global rise through an engaging conversation between two distinguished experts: Dr. Barbara Faedda, Executive Director of the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies at Columbia University, and Sara Gay Forden, journalist and author of The House of Gucci. The discussion includes themes of entrepreneurship, creative vision, and cultural dynamics that made Italian fashion a defining force in American life and a global phenomenon. The program will be accompanied by a curatorial display, “Italian Fashion at The Library of Congress: From Corriere delle Dame to the Runways of Milan and Fifth Avenue, on to Global Destinations,” featuring selections from Library of Congress collections tracing the evolution of Italian fashion media and design and its sustained engagement with American audiences across two and a half centuries.
