Global South e moda transnazionale: il percorso dello stilista italiano Giorgio Correggiari negli anni Settanta e Ottanta

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the work experiences of the Italian designer Giorgio Correggiari in India and Brazil through the concept of Global South, which includes these countries, in order to demonstrate how the connections between the designer and these States are part of a transnational fashion idea. Combining an analysis of the stilista’s private archive and an interview done by the author of this article on March 4, 2019 to Lamberto Correggiari, his brother and partner, the article investigates the public role of Giorgio Correggiari: his political sensitivity towards a post-colonial fashion idea, in which emerges a rejection of the US fashion market and an open criticism of the Made in Italy label.
