✨Découvrez Clara Tosi Pamphili, commissaire de l’exposition « Italia è Moda » 🇮🇹.

Historienne des arts appliqués et spécialiste de la mode et des costumes de cinéma, Clara considère les archives comme un patrimoine vivant, à réinterpréter et à transmettre. Avec « Italia è Moda », Clara met en lumière la mode👗comme l’une des plus hautes expressions du design et du savoir-faire 🇮🇹, où tradition et innovation se rencontrent.

👉En plus de concevoir des expositions, de publier des ouvrages et d’enseigner, elle a développé un système d’archivage numérique offrant une vision globale de chaque création, qu’il s’agisse d’une œuvre d’art ou d’un objet expérimental. Avec Diane Pernet, elle a organisé le festival ASVOFF à Rome en collaboration avec Bulgari. Elle a également assuré le commissariat d’« Embodying Pasolini », une performance réunissant Tilda Swinton et Olivier Saillard autour des costumes créés pour les films de Pier Paolo Pasolini, ainsi que de l’exposition « Persona » pour Gucci par Alessandro Michele, au Forum romain.
