Solo Exhibition “L’ornamento italiano. Fashion Print, Part III”

Spring–Summer 2023. Milan
June 2026. Rome

The artistic research, which began three years ago in Lombardy, a region in northern Italy, focused primarily on 18th- and 19th-century French and Italian fashion illustrations and their connections with the visual arts.

This time, the fashion print takes on a more symbolic character, shifting the focus from the object to its content. In this case, the focus is on ornament, which, despite changes in style and context, recurs in historical interiors, original artworks and the fabrics of presented collections.

From October 3 to 31, 2026, both parts of the research will come together in the world of jewellery, at the Vilnensis School and Gallery.
