Design Salon: When Women Designers Started Wearing Trousers | TALK (EN)

All too often the history of design is told as a story with many heroes and no heroines. Many leading figures in design were women, however – including Charlotte Perriand, Lilly Reich, Marianne Brandt, and Gae Aulenti. How can feminine perspectives become meaningful in design without falling prey to the typical gender debates? This is the question discussed by design critics and curators Vera Sacchetti and Matylda Krzykowski, whose »Foreign Legion« initiative highlights the role of women in design, with Tanja Cunz, curator of »Gae Aulenti: A Creative Universe«.
