Following last year’s exciting partnership (see: http://www.bolognachildrensbookfair.com/en/media/news-from-the-fair/off-the-page-and-in-the-world-of-fashion/6324.html), The Bologna Children’s Book Fair and Pitti Immagine are to team up again in 2017.
Starting January 19 to January 21, Florence has hosted Pitti Bimbo 84, the must-see fair with the latest kid's fashion trends from all over the world.
During the event, at the Fortezza da Basso, you can visit “The Extraordinary Library”: an exhibition of 100 picture books focusing on fashion, art, and style.
Fashion has always looked to art, aiming to translate the tale of current times into patterns, weaves, and fantasies. In this way, Pitti Bimbo stands as a key event worldwide.
The Bologna Children's Bookfair’s 50-years expertise in illustration has been a crucial part in the curation of this extraordinary library of books. Excellence derived not only from the stories they tell but also from the quality of paper they are made of. Pure artworks are just waiting to be discovered, read and touched.
Thanks to the curators Silvana Sola, Marcella Terrusi and Bologna’s Cooperativa Culturale Giannino Stoppani, many Italian and international publishers have contributed a number of publications to this unique collection - a golden bridge connecting children’s literature to fashion.
