The exhibition, which opened at the CSAC in October, can be visited until 14 April.

The exhibition reconstructs Albini’s work from the beginnings to the last collections made in the very early 1980s, through a selection of materials from the Walter Albini Archive Fund held at the Csac.

The Csac in fact possesses one of the most exhaustive and heterogeneous archival fonds of the stylist, comprising some five thousand design materials; donated in1983 by Paolo Rinaldi and in 1988 by Marisa Curti, it covers a chronological span from around 1967 to 1982.

The materials range from youthful sketches, which already present the designer’s poetics, to preparatory sketches and drawings for the design of the Collections. In addition to these objects, the exhibition will feature a selection of photographs intended for the promotion of the collections, fashion show photographs and advertising material.
