FASHION

Once Turin was Italy’s city of fashion par excellence. Thanks to contemporary young stylists, the city is becoming again more famous for fashion.

skip Turin is also committed to fashion and has thus followed a new call for an old vocation. At the beginning of the 20th century Italian tailoring gains more and more popularity first at national and later at European level due to numerous art exhibitions.
Since then, the typical local Piedmont fashion, influenced by the fashion guidelines from abroad, has been exported also to Milan, Genoa, Rome, Naples and Palermo.
During this period the Piedmont has become home to worldwide famous labels such as Borbonese, Superga, Robe di Kappa and Invicta and to original fashion designed by young artists.
