Preserving Future Fashion History: A Look at Conservation of the ITS Foundation Collection

Fondazione ITS has a dedicated Collection management team in charge of archiving and preserving our entire patrimony of creative items collected over twenty years. It also coordinates acquisitions and major restoration projects. The tasks involved in the conservation of the 14,000 portfolios, 1,017 fashion items, 163 accessories, 118 jewellery pieces and 700 photographic projects in the ITS Collection are virtually endless. Setting up an exhibition represents an extra challenge for conservation and preserving the Collection items in the best possible way during the many months on public display was an important consideration in the run up to “The First Exhibition: 20 years of Contemporary Fashion”, curated by Olivier Saillard and currently on show until February 2023.
