National Mythmaking, Foreign and Domestic: a Historical Analysis of the Birth of Italian Fashion
Adopting historical methods, we examine commercial mythmaking centered upon the first Italian fashion shows (1950s-1970s). Documenting the emergence of Italy as a fashion country and rivalry among cities to become Italy’s fashion capital, we demonstrate that before national mythmaking can occur, local marketers must be mobilized towards common marketing goals.
