Fashion in all its spheres and creations is also part of the futurist reconstruction of the
universe. Among these, the gilet or waistcoat represents one of the most original and fun
garments, capable of personalizing and giving prestige to the wearer. There were not many
waistcoats, almost all made by Fortunato Depero, but today they appear as many works of
art, still fun and elegant at the same time. The article is an excursus on this garment, which
can still make us reflect on the elegance and extravagance of young fashion of yesterday
and today.
