Venice: Ca
Badoer – Diana Vreeland After Diana Vreeland – Symposium. The Università Iuav di Venezia and the London
College of Fashion (University of the Arts London) organized an international symposium in
collaboration with the Centre for Fashion Studies (Stockholm University), in
conjunction with the opening of the exhibition Diana Vreeland After Diana
Vreeland curated by Judith Clark and Maria Luisa Frisa at Palazzo Fortuny,
until June 25. The symposium with the
theme, The Discipline of Fashion Between Museum and Curating, discussed the
evolving discipline of fashion curating, and brought together prominent voices
from the field. The conference used the Diana Vreeland's exhibitions and her experience
as Special Consultant to The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
in New York (1972-1989) as the starting point from which to articulate
reflections on the relationships between fashion, exhibitions and museums.
