We’ve selected a collection from Carla Sozzani’s private archive, in recognition of the thirty-three years that Fondazione Sozzani has been unwavering in its commitment to the arts and circular fashion.
Fondazione Sozzani has collaborated with and exhibited the most recognizable images in the world, from Annie Leibovitz and Sarah Moon to Nick Waplington and Irving Penn.
Imagining a world without the photography, art, and fashion that the Fondazione promotes, we’ve designed gallery gift items using only text to show examples of these great works. Forcing the reader to imagine it for themselves; like a high art/fashion guessing game.
Written by Andrea Mason. Art direction by Paul Hetherington.
Gift shop items produced by the sustainable guys at Merchery.
All profits from gift shop items go directly to support the Fondazione. Items are available to order here.
