Chiara's research interests include contemporary history of Italian culture; history of dress and costume; material culture of fashion; fashion history; history of tailoring and dressmaking.
Ongoing Research
Chiara's ongoing research project focuses on the history of Italian dressmaking between the interwar period and the end of the 1950s. She is interested in production practices, cultural traits and commercial interactions which characterized the Italian fashion system before mass production took over and Milanese prêt-à-porter became synonimous of Made in Italy.
