Fashion and cinema: two worlds compared at the Triennale

The intertwining, the relationships and the affinities between fashion and cinema. These are the themes that will be pitted on the occasion of Fashion and cinema: yesterday, today and tomorrow, one evening, scheduled for July 6 at 9pm at the Triennale of Milan, which will alternate talks and projections that will analyze the relationships between these two worlds.

Since its inception, cinema has represented a great opportunity for visibility for fashion, as if the cinema screen represented a large animated showcase capable of showing and making the creations of the tailoring ateliers travel around the world.

At the same time, cinema has always needed fashion, its history, its beauty.

During the evening a journey through time will be proposed together with two exceptional guests, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Artistic Director of the Dior women’s collections, and Maria Luisa Frisa, critic and curator, which, in conversation with Alina Marazzi, they will reflect on the languages ​​and interweaving between fashion and cinema today and 100 years ago. Over the last year, on the initiative of Maria Grazia Chiuri, the Maison Dior commissioned film directors, Alina Marazzi and Matteo Garrone, to short films, respectively To Cut is to Think of 2020 and The Tarot Castle of 2021, which will be screened during the evening.

At the opening, the projection of the very short slapstick Lea and the ball of yarn, from 1913, and a tribute to the city of Milan with the screening of a sophisticated film from 1929, Stramilano, a “symphony” of the city of the silent era, a modernist portrait that has highlighted, since then, the centrality of the fashion industry in the identity of our city. The two silent films will be set to live music by Painè Cuadrelli, music producer, sound designer and DJ.
