Made in Italy (2019)

The TV series, Made in Italy, is an alluring excursion into the heart of the fashion revolution in 1970s Milan - an epoch of upheaval, inventiveness, and unparalleled style. Amidst this vibrant mosaic of change and creativity, a fresh wave of audacious stylists like Armani, Versace, Krizia, and more, breathe life into the global fashion scene, carving their indelible signatures into the annals of style. Enter Irene Mastrangelo, portrayed by Greta Ferro, a young, ambitious editor from a humble family of southern Italian immigrants, who finds her destiny intertwined with the illustrious fashion magazine "Appeal". Driven by her unyielding determination and innate talent, Irene embarks on a journey of self-discovery, navigating the labyrinth of high fashion and its attendant trials, triumphs, and tumultuous twists. Through Irene's keen eyes and those of her spirited mentor, the foresighted editor-in-chief Rita Pasini, played by Margherita Buy, the audience is granted an intimate view of this transformative era. It's a time when Italian fashion metamorphosed from the aristocratic realm of haute couture to the democratic domain of prêt-à-porter. Armani ascends with his emblematic portrayal of the confident, powerful woman, while Versace shocks the world with his ultra-sensual muses. Meanwhile, visionary manager Beppe Modenese strategizes to unite the quarrelsome Italians, standing up to the French dominance in the fashion world. Made in Italy is not just a show, but a time capsule, capturing the pulsating heartbeat of the '70s fashion industry at its zenith. It offers a tantalizing glimpse into the ateliers of the iconic stylists, letting us "listen" to the silent dialogues of their artistry, "see" the origins of their masterpieces, "hear" the whispers of their inspiration, and "touch" the raw reality of "making fashion". The series seamlessly weaves Irene's professional ascendancy within the magazine with her personal life, creating a rich tapestry that mirrors the dynamic and dramatic evolution of Italian fashion.

Made in Italy is a comedy show featuring Greta Ferro and created by Camilla Nesbitt.
