Detail from the Customeasy space
Emily at Pitti by Beatrice Brandini
At the Fortezza, the Spring-Summer 2027 collections, an explosion of yarns, colors, and textures, brought together by a single word: EXCELLENCE!
130 companies presented their Spring-Summer 2027 collections.
Lineapiù
Lineapiù
Lineapiù welcomed you to a veritable exhibition of the history of fashion and costume, showcasing extraordinary creations from the great Florentine company’s 51 years of activity, crafted primarily from one of their most iconic yarns: viscose. Dresses by Dior, Chanel, Balenciaga, Dolce & Gabbana, and Givenchy, to name a few, as well as Azzedine Alaïa, with whom Lineapiù created its first viscose yarn. As I entered, I thought that with these extraordinary garments alone—after all, “just” a selection from their archive—they would create a museum abroad.
Research Space Overview
Research Space: The theme of this edition is LINK
Link, the main theme of the new Research Space, is a liquid journey through the history of signs and ink, which, as a primordial art form, reaches the present day and projects itself into the future. Link is the relationship with the present, the transfer to the future, the indissoluble bond between peoples, eras, and epochs. The first tattoos date back to around 5,000 years ago; the designs were created for therapeutic, social, magical, or simply aesthetic purposes. The first traces of tattoos date back to prehistory, with examples suggesting a widespread practice in various ancient cultures. Over the centuries, tattoos have spread across various cultures, taking on different meanings depending on the historical and social context.
