FONDAZIONE PITTI DISCOVERY AND MARSILIO EDITORI PRESENT
SIMONETTA. LA PRIMA DONNA DELLA MODA ITALIANA
The Fondazione Pitti Discovery will dedicate an exhibition to Simonetta, Donna Simonetta Colonna di Cesarò, a charismatic and eccentric personality in post-World War II high fashion. She was an icon of style who made fashion: this first show ever about Simonetta will be held at the Galleria del Costume in Palazzo Pitti, Florence.
Two books, published by Marsilio Editori and the Fondazione Pitti Discovery, will also be presented together with the exhibition. The exhibition catalogue is the seventh volume in the Mode series and will be in an updated format. It will include the highly personal views of the curators through texts and images as well as a group of extraordinary photographs by Regina Relang, Pasquale De Antoniis, Norman Parkinsons, Coffin Clifford and William Klein. The essays, focusing on Simonetta, her creativity and cultural world reveal what a modern personality she was and is, without nostalgia, but rather by placing the story in the context of today’s issues. The other book is Simonetta Colonna di Cesarò’s autobiography, Living on the Edge, part of the Specchi Marsilio series.
