This summer, grazie a Peroni Nastro Azzurro (pioneers in Italian cultural collaborations) – to tie in with the 150th anniversary of Italy as a unified nation – Somerset House will be putting on an exhibition in partnership with six globally renowned Italian fashion houses – Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Gucci, Missoni and Prada.
Curated by the brilliant Colin McDowell, each of the fashion houses has selected key images from their collections and campaign archives which they feel most reflect their unique approach to Italian style. The exhibition opens this Friday until 14 August from 10.00 to 18.00 daily with late night openings until 21.00 on Thursdays. Click here to book and check out a couple of image below, namely the SS11 Dolce & Gabbana campaign by KARLISMYUNKLE favourite Steven Klein and the rather old school AW98 campaign for Prada by Albert Watson.
