Attraverso lo studio dell’archivio Forquet, questo articolo esamina il trionfo dell’alta moda italiana nella società internazionale degli anni Sessanta. Nonostante una carriera relativamente breve nel mondo della moda - solo dieci anni - il couturier napoletano Forquet ha segnato profondamente la moda degli anni Sessanta ed è stato celebrato internazionalmente. Prima ancora del suo debutto ufficiale come stilista, il “Daily American Weekly” lo aveva già soprannominato “The New Man”. La stampa internazionale fu incuriosita dalla sua collaborazione con Irene Galitzine - con cui lanciò il Pigiama di Palazzo, che divenne la divisa del jet set e dall'ambiente sociale in cui era inserito.
