Curating Italian Fashion
Italy is a major player in the global fashion industry, yet little has been written about its contribution to fashion curation. This book explores the management, display and curation of Italian fashion heritage, highlighting the role played by companies and industry associations. By contextualising fashion curation within Italy's economy, culture and art-historical tradition, Curating Italian Fashion unfolds the ties between the preservation of fashion heritage and corporate policies. It traces the shift of companies from sponsors to cultural producers and discusses the different uses of archives and exhibitions. Through the critical analysis of key examples such as Salvatore Ferragamo and ...

I luoghi del contemporaneo / Contemporary sites
Il nostro Paese, negli ultimi anni, ha conosciuto una significativa e diffusa rinascita dell’interesse e dell’attenzione verso l’arte contemporanea, sia da parte dei cittadini che delle istituzioni centrali e periferiche. Mai come in questi ultimi anni si è infatti assistito ad una vivacità di iniziative rivolte ad ogni aspetto della creatività contemporanea si pensi, in particolare, al MAXXI di Roma, al MART di Rovereto e all’attuale edizione della Biennale di Venezia. Questo volume è una importante manifestazione della volontà politica di accordo tra lo Stato e gli altri livelli di governo operanti sul territorio nazionale, nel settore dell’arte contemporanea.

Italian Eyes
Only recently has fashion photography been accurately seen as an important medium within contemporary visual culture: it has evolved from a mere supporting role of reproduction into a creator of icons and ideas, and a veritable form of art. Its power, in defining itself as a means of communication, is to record, or even determine today's lifestyle. "Italian Eyes" not only shines a much-deserved light on Italians who have made photographic history, but also highlights an Italian style that goes beyond fashion, thus offering a repertoire of images that reconstruct the changes in fashion and the evolution of society from the end of World War II to the present. "Italian Eyes" presents the most i...

VB53
"VB 53" provides documentation of Vanessa Beecroft's most recent performance at Pitti Immagine Uomo 66 in Florence's Horticultural Garden. 21 models of varying appearance and race were planted in a mass of earth in the tepidarium. All were nude except for a single accessory: Helmut Lang shoes that wrapped around their ankles, separating their bare legs from the bare, rough earth. According to Beecroft, "The sole is reference to land art. Very dark and humid, like the rich foam of cultivated fields... The performance juxtaposes the purity of the female body, their nudity, with the dirty color of the soil and its material. Some models look like lillies, others like potatoes. Lilies and potatoes can also grow in filth." The 50 images in this book illuminate Beecroft's signature issues: the body, beauty and identity.
The Fourth Sex
Omnivorous and indefatigable, suggestible but independent, adolescents don't want to be balanced. They love extremes of everything from fashion and art to music and the Internet. Observed and studied by experts of all kinds, their behavior monitored by psychologists, educators, and marketing executives, adolescents represent a decisive and increasingly valuable segment of the buying public. They adore and consume trendy clothes and brand-new bands; they must be cool regardless of the cost. And adults turn to them more and more for clues on how to remain forever young and hip. The Fourth Sexturns a critical, illustrated spotlight on adolescence, a territory of transition crisscrossed by the m...
