Pitti Immagine announced that it has signed a consultancy agreement with Olivier Saillard, one of the most significantly multifaceted figures on the international scene of contemporary fashion culture, for the creation and design of cultural and promotional events related to the Fondazione and to the trade shows that the company organizes in Florence. Fashion historian, curator, performance artist, director of the Palais Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris from 2010 to last January, before being appointed Artistic, Image and Culture Director at J.M. Weston, Olivier Saillard already collaborated in the past with Pitti Immagine and the Fondazione Pitti Discovery with special projects such as the ‘Dressing Like a Man’ and the ‘Ephemeral Museum of Fashion’ exhibitions, respectively in 2011 and 2017. The current consultancy task is aimed at giving greater strategic continuity to its collaboration with the companies belonging to the Centro di Firenze per la Moda Italiana, which in turn reconfirms the centrality of investments in the culture of fashion.
