This is the first in-depth, book-length study on fashion and Italian cinema from the silent film to the present. Italian cinema launched Italian fashion to the world. The book is the story of this launch. The creation of an Italian style and fashion as they are perceived today, especially by foreigners, was a product of the post World War II years. Before then, Parisian fashion had dominated Europe and the world. Just as fashion was part of Parisian and French national identity, the book explores the process of shaping and inventing an Italian style and fashion that ran parallel to, and at times took the lead in, the creation of an Italian national identity. In bringing to the fore these intersections, as well as emphasizing the importance of craft in cinema, fashion and costume design, the book aims to offer new visions of films by directors such as Nino Oxilia, Mario Camerini, Alessandro Blasetti, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Luchino Visconti and Paolo Sorrentino, of film stars such as Lyda Borelli, Francesca Bertini, Pina Menichelli, Lucia Bosè, Monica Vitti, Marcello Mastroianni, Toni Servillo and others, and the costume archives and designers who have been central to the development of Made in Italy and Italian style.

This study provides a detailed account of the 1960s film, 'L'avventura', arguing that in order to appreciate its greatness it is necessary to understand not only that the film is a classic but also that it represents a revolution in cinema.
"Molte le sfumature che colorano ogni pagina, molti i colori scelti, ampia la tavolozza delle possibilità. L'autrice cerca di mostrare ogni aspetto possibile del rapporto uomo-donna in maniera divertita e appassionata, romantica ma anche disincantata, in favole moderne che si leggono piacevolmente e si lasciano divorare velocemente. Un libro che ti accompagna in autobus, in treno o in qualche attesa. Un libro leggero nel senso che non pretende di pesarti, ma vuole distrarti e strapparti una riflessione e un sorriso. Cartoline d'amore, di vita, di quotidianità scritte con la voglia di mostrare uno spaccato di vita che riguarda tutti noi. Sentimenti, volti, parole, aspettative, sogni, desideri, semplice voglia di una distrazione, luoghi comuni, dinamiche si rincorrono in una carrellata intrigante già dal titolo. Un libro pieno di piccole sorprese che non mancheranno di stupire. Un libro d'amore sexy per ragazze per bene. E non solo." Federico Moccia
