The contribution focuses on the experience of Italian fashion designer Cinzia Ruggeri as a creator of costumes and set designs for the shows staged at the Teatro di Porta Romana in Milan during the 1980s, looking in particular at the collaboration with actress-dancer Valeria Magli. The analysis of visual sources found in public and private archives, together with the testimony of Magli and the examination of published material form the methodological framework of the research. The contribution wants to reflect on the meaning of the collaboration between Ruggeri and Magli considering it as an active way of contributing to the political debate connected to 1970s Italian feminism: a movement necessarily related to fashion, whose mutual relationship is to be highlighted to better read the historical moment and the different cultural phenomenologies it generated.
