Description: Fashioning Submission by Silvia Vacirca Bellezza magazine is used as a kaleidoscope to shine a unique light on Fascist fashions during WWII. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Unlike in English and French cultural fields, where fashion during WWII is widely debated, in Italy the relationship between fashion and Fascism is an under-researched topic, separated from the study of Fascist institutions and bureaucracy. The behind-the-scene history of the fashion magazine Bellezza, the Italian Vogue founded in 1941, has never been submitted to scholarly attention. Its utopian function in defining a new culture of fashion and code of glamour contributed to the totalitarian project of building a new Italian woman. The current volume fills this gap, using the case of Bellezza as a kaleidoscope through which to examine Italian history and culture drawing on new primary sources and extraordinary iconography. Author Biography Silvia Vacirca is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Udine. She holds a PhD in the History of Europe from the Sapienza University. She is currently professor of Fashion as Cultural Discourse at Sapienza, and was formerly an adjunct professor of Fashion&Media, Clothes on Film, Fashion & Costume, and Fashion Writing. She writes for Fashion, Film & Consumption, ZoneModa Journal, Cinergie and Harpers Bazaar Italy. Feature This book shines a unique light on Fascist fashions during WWII, challenging for the first time the dominant (Victoria De Grazias work) interpretation of Italian women under fascism.
