ITALIA è MODA Exposition

Italian Fashion Days Worldwide
 

Celebrating the excellence of "Made in Italy" at the

M.A.D. Festival 2026

August 18–23, 2026 

As part of the 26th edition of the M.A.D. Festival (Fashion, Arts, and

Entertainment), Montreal will host the second edition of the "Italian

Fashion Days Worldwide" event, featuring the exhibition Italia è moda

a unique showcase dedicated to the creativity, craftsmanship, and

innovation of "Made in Italy." 

Curated by Clara Tosi Pamphili, the exhibition is designed like a

theatrical stage where garments, accessories, and iconic objects

interact across various moments of daily life: day, evening, and sport.

The showcase features creations from both major fashion houses and

emerging designers, alongside pieces representing Italian leather

goods, footwear, eyewear, jewelry, and cosmetics. 

Highlights include two original costumes from Federico Fellini’s film

Casanova, designed by Danilo Donati and crafted by Sartoria Farani,

that won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design in 1977

Audiovisual content and interactive digital installations further enrich

the experience by showcasing the creative processes and heritage of

the participating Italian companies. 

 

 

The exhibition is being held at the lobby of the

Fairmont The Queen Elizabeth Hotel
900 René-Lévesque Blvd. West, Montreal  

This initiative by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the 

International Cooperation (MAECI) is realized with the support of the

Embassy of Italy in Ottawa, the Consulate General of Italy in Montreal,

the Italian Cultural Institute in Montreal, and the Italian Trade Agency

(ICE) in Montreal.
