The Costume Institute of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (www.metmuseum.org) will dedicate the sprinig to two important fashion icons. From the 10th of May until the 19th August, Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada cross the XX Century from one point to another, to meet in New York and explore the sinergies, finities and specificities of their relationship with fashion and art.
The conversations of both Italian creators move between the impossible and fiction, the string between the objects, designs and videos, which delve into their careers and offer us new views on politics, women, creativity and art.
United by the dominance of small subversions and surrealistic winks, both designers have been stamped in the way they have introduced playful and unconventional elements into their creations as well as thinking that fashion is a permananetne interaction with culture.
The halls of MET thereby evoke the experiences in the world of fashion and artistic creation, Dali and Schiaparelli with Surrealist movement, and Prada, in charge of the Fondazione Prada, linked to the eclectic sense of Postmodernism.
