I fell in love with Roberto Capucci on Thursday afternoon. That is right. I fell in love with an 80-year-old man that I do not know and will probably never meet.
For those who are probably very concerned about me right now, do not worry. My Inside Italian Design class took a trip to see the Roberto Capucci fashion exhibit at the Odescalchi Castle in Bacciano Thursday afternoon.
Roberto Capucci is an Italian designer that created his own fashion house around 1950. In the 1980s, he withdrew from the fashion world and began creating one line per year each to be presented in a different city. The exhibit was a collection of Capucci's "sculpture" chosen specifically by the designer.
We were not supposed take pictures inside the castle or of the exhibit. I had already been reprimanded at the beginning of the tour for taking pictures, so I was scared to take pictures during the majority of the procession through the exhibit. Each collection was presented in one room of the castle. The wedding dress collection was presented in an armory room, as was the red collection. He had chosen an earthy collection and a gold collection as well.
By the time we had reached the last room filled with dresses, I decided I was going to be too angry with myself afterward for not taking pictures to not attempt using my camera. There may have been some 007 moves (minus the suit) in the process of getting the photos. I was able to get pictures of most of my favorite dresses in the last room.
Even if I had been kicked out of the castle, taking the pictures was completely worth it. New life goal: Have Roberto Capucci design a dress I cannot move in, while looking a little bit like Lady Gaga..
