Never has the expression 'Made in Italy' been so fitting for an embodiment of style and international flair. This month, Peroni Nastro Azzurro proves that nobody does it quite like the italians. The quintessential Italian lager house unites six of the world’s most iconic Italian style leaders in a unique photographic exhibition at Somerset House.

In recognition of the 150th anniversary of Italy as a unified nation, ‘Masters of Style: Celebrating The Stories Behind Italian Fashion‘ features imagery, alongside personal reflections and stories, from fashion greats Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Ferragamo, Gucci, Missoni and Prada.

Curated by leading fashion commentator, Colin McDowell, the exhibition, made up of six individual pavilions, brings together a compelling collection that offers rare insight into some of the most significant members and defining moments in italian fashion.
