With the spectacle that is New York Fashion Week right around the corner, we thought it an opportune time to tell you about events going in around the city in celebration of fashion week.
In keeping with the current rage of collaborations, Vogue Italia, the international style bible, has teamed up with Peroni Nastro Azzuro, the premium Italian beer, to produce “50 Years of Italian Style”.
“50 Years of Italian Style” is a retrospective photographic exhibition featuring iconic images of Italian style that spans five decades!
Kicking off during Fashion Week’s opening weekend, the exhibition includes images of iconic menswear from the pages of L’Uomo Vogue, as well other publications including Vogue Italia and Casa Vogue.
Best of all, this exhibition is open to the public, including free admission, allowing everyone to take part in the week’s festivities.
