ITALY / Alexandrе Vassiliev, Milan

Sex and fashion from the era of Diaghilev to the era of Madonna.

What tricks, hidden and explicit, do we all resort to in order to please the opposite sex?

How did changes in the perception of sex affect the development of 20th century fashion?

What canons of male and female beauty existed in the last century?

In his speeches, Alexandrе Vassiliev deals with such delicate and at the same time brutal topics as sex, eroticism and the relationship of the sexes. How religion, philosophy, cultural and sexual revolutions, and the evolution of gender relations affect the formation and development of fashion.

What is fashion in this context: a trick, a subterfuge, a temptation?

How have feminism and machoism of all times influenced the development of fashion?

Alexandrе Vassiliev offers a new look at fashion – the view of an attentive, experienced historian through the prism of the mores of twentieth-century society.
