Museum of Craft and Folk Art says…

When we think of Italy, we think of fashion; brands like Gucci and Prada seem as Italian as espresso. In 2004, Queens College professor Eugenia Paulicelli complicated this picture with her fascinating history of the profitable industry's roots in Mussolini's fascist state. Fashion Under Fascism: Beyond the Black Shirt is, if nothing else, a powerful demonstration of the politics of style. Now, in this special lecture at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, Paulicelli hones in on the way filmmakers like Michelangelo Antonioni and Federico Fellini consecrated Italian fashion for audiences all over the world.
