Fashion, Sport, Tourism

The exhibition

July, 5th – October, 29th 2023 (open until 28 January 2024)


The videos with which Roger Federer conveys the image of Switzerland and of one possible new Grand Tour are highly emblematic of visual communication models, able of suggesting fascinating connections. Produced by “Switzerland Tourism”, the videos entrust in fact the tourist message to one of the most popular and beloved sports champions, emblematic in the contemporary imagination with the beauty of the athletic gesture closely linked to the elegance of clothing and fashion.

The Fashion, Sport and Tourism exhibition, organized by the Museo della Grafica (City of Pisa, University of Pisa) in collaboration with USI – Università della Svizzera italiana (Lugano, Switzerland), ends here; but it starts from far away.

Prints, graphic works, posters, clothing, and videos compose an original pathway through images of champions, stylists and places, that communication strategies and models since the beginning of the Twentieth Century to our days, have put together as subjects from theater and cinema, of graphics and advertisement. These are wonderful stories of fashion, sports, tourist scenery and itineraries: from Elsa Schiaparelli to Emilio Pucci, Bally, Caruso, Purest, Lacoste, Federer, Miu Miu, from Pisa to Saint Tropez…

The exhibition, organised by the Museo della Grafica (Municipality of Pisa, University of Pisa) and USI – Università della Svizzera italiana, is part of the programme of the international conference Fashion communication: between tradition and future digital developments (Pisa, 3-5 July 2023)
