Naples Fashion Museum

The Fashion Museum of Naples

The Naples Fashion Museum also known as the "Elena Aldobrandini" Textile and Clothing Museum - Mondragone Foundation is a public museum of regional interest located in the Spanish Quarters in Naples.

The Naples Fashion Museum is dedicated to the founder of the institution, the noblewoman Elena Aldobrandini (1589 - 1663), an integral and substantial part of the Mondragone Foundation. Headquarters of the Women's Fashion Pole of the Campania Region, it traces the history of fashion described, over a wide period of time, from the eighteenth century to the present day . The clothes on display retrace the transformations, some gradual, some radical, which have characterized the way women dress up and the practices associated with presenting themselves and the result of dressing them. The museum itinerary therefore historically follows the struggle for the emancipation of women who, from a simple emblem of beauty, in a time long gone, today, become the undisputed protagonist of her life and architect of her destiny.

The Naples Fashion Museum fills a void in Naples , in a city which over time based part of its economy on the processing of noble textile fibers and on the production of precious embroideries, but also on artisan tailoring, still appreciated worldwide today.

The Fashion Museum owns, within the Permanent Collection, clothes from the Sarli Collection, the Livio De Simone Collection and the Tullia Passerini Gargiulo Collection as well as incredible Ancient, Modern and Contemporary accessories and fabrics, Frontals and Sacred Vestments, Embroideries, Laces and Sacred furnishings , all incredibly beautiful garments that reflect the great tradition of ancient and contemporary textile art and the Campania tailoring tradition.
