Vogue Italia & Kering Launch Cinemoda Club
This September, Milan Fashion Week gets a cinematic heartbeat. From September 25 to 27, 2025, Vogue Italia and Kering will debut Cinemoda Club, their first-ever film series celebrating the creative dialogue between fashion and film. The event takes place across three historic cinemas: Cineteca Milano Arlecchino, Cinema Mexico, and Cinema Palestrina.
Where Cinema Meets Fashion
Curated by Gian Luca Farinelli (Cineteca di Bologna) alongside actress‑director Valeria Golino, Cinemoda Club brings together 36 films that explore how fashion and cinema have shaped each other. From grand masters to silent shorts, from couture archives to bold contemporary works, the series spans iconic films like 8½, Roman Holiday, and Marie Antoinette to rare gems such as Rapsodia Satanica and La Mode de Paris.
What to Expect
The series underscores how costume, mood, and identity play out on screen—not just as decoration, but as narrative. Films like Funny Face or The Rocky Horror Picture Show aren’t just visuals; they’re fashion statements.
Cinemoda Club isn’t only for cinephiles; it’s for students, designers, and anyone curious about the visual and cultural codes that shape what we wear. Milan becomes a classroom.
Key Events & Access
Talk & Inauguration: September 25 at 5 PM, Cineteca Milano Arlecchino—Valeria Golino and Gian Luca Farinelli will lead a public conversation on how costume and visual storytelling influence cultural change.
Screenings: All films shown in their original languages with subtitles. Tickets are just €5, available at participating cinemas.
Programme Highlights: History in couture, identity through fashion, and moments of defiance—from Do the Right Thing to In the Mood for Love. To the full programme.
If you follow both fashion and film, this series is a gold mine. Expect inspiration—not just from current red carpets, but from archival moments, costume films, and fashion histories that are too often hidden. Designs that shaped decades, dresses that spoke before dialogue—these are the kinds of aesthetic stories that stay with you.
