The exhibition Memos: A proposito della moda in questo millennio was inaugurated at the Poldi Pezzoli Museum just before the lockdown began, and is now extended until September 28 (there are still a few days left to visit!). Designed and curated by Maria Luisa Frisa - critic and director of the degree course in Fashion Design and Multimedia Arts at the Iuav University of Venice - in collaboration with Camera della Moda, the exhibition is a broad reflection on the very concept of a fashion exhibition, not only as a set of clothes, but as a story of the entire system, in which words and images are equally protagonists. From Gucci by Alessandro Michele, to Prada and Balenciaga, for each item it is crucial to understand the context and the message.
