A lecture by Stefano Piaggi, President of Associazione Culturale Anna Piaggi on the extraordinary career of journalist and Fashion writer Anna Piaggi and how her brilliant creativity has served as a lifeblood for designers, photographers, illustrators and fashion passionates. The screening of the documentary “Anna Piaggi, a Fashion Visionary” (120 min) by Alina Marazzi will follow the presentation.

Muse to designers and fashion enthusiasts, fashion icon and collector of garments from all eras and styles, Anna Piaggi lived through 50 years of international fashion history, influencing and dictating trends, experimenting, searching and drawing inspiration and references for her extraordinary story from a plethora of fields: from art and design, cooking and cinema, theatre and botany. She began her career as translator for Mondadori and collaborated with Epoca and Panorama magazines. From 1961 to 1968 she was the Fashion Editor for Arianna magazine. Starting in the late ’60s, she began contributing to Vogue Italia, with ravishing fashion editorials; from 1988 until 2012, when she died, she wrote a column entitled “Doppie Pagine di Anna Piaggi” for Vogue Italia, followed every month by her numerous and devoted admirers around the world. In 1999, her second book, an edited collection of a decade of “Doppie Pagine” articles, called “Fashion Algebra”, was published.

Free and open to the public.
