In Rome a documentary about Laura Biagiotti

I always followed Laura Biagiotti. Since my beginning in the fashion industry. Recently the company opened a gorgeous store in via Belsiana 57. Last week I bumped it to Lavinia, her daughter. She invited me to see a documentary about Laura. It will take place at Festa del Cinema di Roma, today at 5.30 pm.

Laura Biagiotti ( 1943-2017) has been an icon of Italian Fashion. She made a great work on wool, white dress wool, vanilla colours. The idea was to represent a woman elegant and easy at the same time. With her husband Gianni Cigna She was the first italian designer to organize a fashion show in Cina in 1988 and in Russia in 1995. Images that are unforgettable for the italian history, not only for the fashion world.

The documentary will be shown also in the late evening on Rai 3 the 31st of October. The documentary is directed by Maria Lilli and the actress is Serena Rossi. It is a journey in the Biagiotti world and in her atelier. It is also a way to know better her private and professional life. In the movie some interviews are done to Romina Power, Beppe Modenese, Santo Versace, Carla Fracci among others.

In the picture below, Lavinia Biagiotti and on the backside the portrait of her mother Laura. In Rome a lot of people miss her in a city where there are not a lot of fashion personalities. Eventhough the company always shows in Milano, Laura was very much into the city of Rome. She was also a mecenate that nobody forgets.
