A Museum of Fashion and Costume
was created Tuesday in Florence with the signature of an
agreement between the management of the Uffizi Gallery and Pitti
Immagine Discovery, the foundation including Pitti Immagine and
the Florentine center for Italian fashion.
The objective is to start a three-year program of events
dedicated to contemporary fashion.
The season will officially begin with an exhibit of photos
shot by iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, which will open
on June 14 during the Pitti Uomo international trade fair,
through October 23, 2016.
The exhibit, called 'Vision of Fashion', will showcase 200
photos and fashion reports authored by Lagerfeld, including a
self-portrait.
The museum will also host an exhibit in 2017 showcasing the
gallery's archives, organizers said.
