FONDAZIONE PITTI IMMAGINE DISCOVERY

FONDAZIONE PITTI IMMAGINE DISCOVERY

The book/catalogue is a visionary, creative journey through the images that made the 80s. It is not chronological, but is arranged by topics (the working girl, sexy woman, American Gigolo, night clubbing, wild boys, yuppies, graffiti, postmodern landscapes …). 

The book’s itinerary is supplemented with the Neo 80s insert – an extraordinary collection of pictures from the 80s to now. A collection of essays on fashion, art, architecture and customs by scholars and journalists; then a chronology and glossary of the decade’s words and expressions complete the book.
