Venice: Palazzo Mocenigo - Trame di moda – Donne e Stile at the Venice Film Festival exhibition. With over
seventy items of clothing from the most famous collections, fashion houses and
costume designers in the world, Trame di moda – Donne e stile alla
Mostra del Cinema di Venezia is the exhibition, until January 6 2013, that the FondazioneMusei Civici di Venezia organized at
Palazzo Mocenigo, Study Centre of the History of Fabrics and Costumes. The exhibition was designed and curated by
Fabiana Giacomotto, together with Alessandro Lai. With an installation curated
by Sergio Colantuoni in the evocative rooms of the ground floor and piano
nobile of Palazzo Mocenigo, it offers visitors a comparison between costumes from great films that were filmed in
Venice, the current fashion that drew inspiration from these films and
ideas, and the valuable items of clothing preserved in the museum.

Trame di moda
– Donne e stile at the Venice Film Festival exhibition. The
itinerary includes the eighteenth century andrienne of Palazzo Mocenigo that
converse with the dress of the clockwork doll designed by Danilo Donati for
Federico Fellini’s Casanova, and the priceless reinterpretation by Karl
Lagerfeld and Fendi for a historical ball at Palazzo Corsini, as well as the
delicate evening gowns designed by Piero Tosi for Silvano Mangano in Death in
Venice or by Sandy Powell for The Wings of the Dove that were clearly the
inspiration for the most fanciful stylists today, such as Roberto Cavalli,
Gianfranco Ferre, Ermanno Scervino, Francesco Scognamiglio, and Giambattista Valli.
