At its core, Memorabile. Ipermoda seeks to answer what makes fashion memorable and how it serves as a catalyst for social change. Curator Maria Luisa Frisa emphasizes that fashion is not merely about visual allure; it reflects and responds to the social, political, economic, and cultural contexts of its time.

The exhibition encourages visitors to consider how fashion can influence societal norms and values while also addressing pressing issues such as sustainability, overproduction, and the ethical responsibilities of the industry.

The exhibition features a curated selection of pieces from some of the most influential designers in recent years. Gucci’s Alessandro Michele is celebrated for reviving maximalism, infusing traditional designs with a contemporary twist that resonates with modern audiences.

Similarly, Demna Gvasalia of Balenciaga has redefined luxury fashion by blending personal narrative with innovative design approaches, challenging conventional aesthetics. Versace continues to captivate with its bold and sensual designs, embodying a sense of extravagance that remains relevant in today’s fashion landscape.

A notable aspect of the exhibition is its exploration of technology’s increasing role in fashion design and production. The integration of advanced technologies in fabric creation and design processes has transformed how garments are conceived and manufactured.

This evolution raises critical questions about the balance between innovation and sustainability in an industry often criticized for its environmental impact. By showcasing these technological advancements alongside traditional craftsmanship, Memorabile. Ipermoda highlights the ongoing dialogue between heritage and modernity in fashion.
