The eighth edition of the Florence Biennale awarded the International "Lorenzo il Magnifico" Lifetime Achievement Award to Agatha Ruiz de la Prada in recognition of thirty years dedicated to design applied to the most diverse fields: fashion, fragrances, optics, decoration, set and costume design for theatrical works, spaces and urban murals.

Agatha Ruiz de la Prada and fashion as artistic expression

A space dedicated to her was set up inside the Fortezza da Basso to celebrate the designer's career with 40 dresses specially chosen for the occasion.

A contemporary dance performance by the Maggio Danza dance company, whose prima ballerina Sabrina Vitangeli wore a dress specially created by the designer, also paid tribute to the designer.

To call Agatha Ruiz de la Prada just a fashion designer would be an understatement. At the Florence Biennale, Ruiz de la Prada symbolised the meeting of the artificial and the natural, the avant-garde and the classic. With her creations, she has made fashion into a supreme expression of art.
