MODE is a series edited by Maria Luisa Frisa which studies fashion as creative system of the contemporary world and analyzes its ability to generate products, images and ideas that have a determining influence on daily life, guiding and directing tastes and trends.
MODE's aim is to be a quick and versatile tool featuring essays on a single topic and critical monographs on the new protagonists of the fashion system, with black-and-white and full-color illustrations that coexist in harmony in a format that is almost pocket-size, at a reasonable price, in Italian and English.
It will be the ideal tool for the ever-growing number of students pursuing degrees in fashion and fashion-related subjects, for scholars, for members of the trades as well as for all those who want to know more about a topic which, along with architecture, art, cinema, design and photography contributes to defining today's landscapes.
Mode is directed by Maria Luisa Frisa, the fashion curator of Fondazione Pitti Discovery, and chair of the new degree course in Fashion Design at the Faculty of Arts and Design, IUAV Venice.
The Pitti Immagine Mission is to stage fashion fairs and events in the sense of production - consumption, and esthetic and cultural design.
