| Made in Italy

Dynamic geometric patterns by Emilio Pucci - colorful bold designs by Fioruccio - dazzling trompe l'oeil effects by Roberta di Camerino - the pop sensibility of Gianni Versace or Franco Moschino - the eye-catching street style prints of Iuter and Sunnei - with these and countless other innovations, Italian design played a leading role in the history of 20th-century textiles. This book compiles an attractive history of Italian textiles from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, recounting their evolution with reference to the prevailing styles of other eras. It is a story that is deeply interwoven with the birth of the "Made in Italy" concept, as fabrics have contributed significantly to Italy's international reputation as a stronghold of quality fashion and design. Numerous Italian artists, fashion and product designers and companies have pioneered and popularized a wide range of manufacturing processes that incorporate local fabrics and innovative techniques.
