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.

Abstract

Through the study of the Forquet archive, this article examines the triumph of Italian haute couture in the international society of the 1960s. Despite a relatively short career in the fashion world - only ten years - Neapolitan couturier Forquet made a profound mark on 1960s fashion and was internationally celebrated. Even before his official debut as a designer, the ‘Daily American Weekly’ had already dubbed him ‘The New Man’. The international press was intrigued by his collaboration with Irene Galitzine - with whom he launched the Palace Pyjamas, which became the uniform of the jet set and by the social environment in which he was embedded.
