The exhibition wanted to be a homage to eight Italian stylists who have contributed to consolidating Italy's role in the fashion world.
Alongside the creations of Elsa Schiaparelli, Sorelle Fontana, Fernanda Gattinoni, Mila Schön, Krizia, Lella Curiel, Laura Biagiotti and Miuccia Prada, the exhibition presented light installations and iconic objects by companies that have made the history of Italian industrial design: Artemide, Baleri Italia, Flos, Foscarini, Kartell.
"Fashion is Female", declared the Consul General Cristiano Musillo, “placed the accent on the extraordinary creative and entrepreneurial spirit of some women who symbolize Italian fashion, whose cultural heritage continues to be appreciated in the United States and throughout the world".
