PRESERVING CULTURE, PROTECTING LIFE
Fondazione Sozzani promotes a fur-free approach in fashion
 
Fondazione Sozzani believes fashion is more than clothing: it is a powerful artistic and cultural language, capable of challenging conventions, shaping new perspectives and driving change.

Fur-free means promoting creativity, innovation and respect for animals. This choice encourages creatives to explore more responsible materials, in sync with contemporary and future needs.
 
Fur-free does not mean a limitation on creativity; it represents an opportunity to develop new materials, techniques and forms of expression. The decision supports a more conscious approach to fashion, in line with our principles and values.
 
We support creatives and brands committed to responsible production and a more respectful future for fashion. Creativity is a choice and choosing fur-free is a responsible choice. ⁠For a new generation of creatives who can imagine differently.

FONDAZIONE SOZZANI × CASA IDEALE

During Les Rencontres d’Arles 2026, Fondazione Sozzani presents a collaboration with Casa Ideale by Luca Pronzato and WE ARE ONA.

Curated by Maddalena Scarzella, the exhibition brings a meticulous selection of works from Carla Sozzani’s photography collection directly into the renovated spaces of Villa Bank in Arles, France.

Turning a 1970s villa conceived by architect Émile Sala into a series of contemporary “chambres de vision,” the project echoes the tradition of the wunderkammern, reimagined as an evolving, domestic environment where photography, architecture, and human connection meet.

📍 Villa Bank, 915 chemin de la Batelle, 13200 Arles, France
🗓️ opening tomorrow, Wednesday, July 8 at 9:30 am
