Pitti Immagine has been studying fashion, conducting research on themes that associate fashion with the cultural and anthropological spheres. The exhibition "Uniform: order and disorder" represents the latest chapter in this research on the anthropology of fashion, with an analysis of one of its constituent elements, the uniform. Through contemporary eyes, the contributors to this volume reinterpret the uniform as a prototype of male dress, revealing the extent to which the technical and formal perfection of military clothing has become an advanced reference point for modern fashion. The analysis focuses on the communicative character of the uniform and its mythology once removed from the military context and devoured by the creative processes of fashion and the violence of all the 'counter-cultural' utopias from the postwar era to the present, or absorbed by pop culture and utilized in a critical manner by artists. The editors of this book utilize and transform a wide range of materials, including fabrics, advertising, icon-garments, symbol-images, uniforms themselves, records, comics and films that document the cultural transformations and use of the uniform.
