Masters of Style: Celebrating the Stories Behind Italian Fashion

The other day I went to the private view of the new exhibition, Masters of Style: Celebrating the Stories Behind Italian Fashion, being shown at Somerset House.

A succinct exhibition hailing classic advertising imagery from six selected famous Italian brand archives: Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, missoni, Salvatore Ferragamo, Gucci and Giorgio Armani. The exhibition was curated by acclaimed fashion journalist Colin McDowell.

Here is a selection of my favourite couple of images from each brand.

Giorgio Armani

Dolce & Gabbana

Salvatore Ferragamo

Gucci

Prada - I chose four images from Prada because it was my favourite!
