Gianfranco Ferre
Send to a friend:
Was going through my normal internet reading when I stumbled onto the news of italian designer Gianfranco Ferre’s death. The news has sunk in and everyone is reporting it, but I had to just make a quick comment as I was such a fan of his work from the Dior years and later on when he started his own line. There’s an old, cliched saying: you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. It’s never more correct in his case. How can you take a business suit and bring an edge with structured lines or provide sophistication and simplicity all by wearing a white blouse? In a simple fashion bloggers opinion, that was the genius and much welcomed conflict of Ferre’s work. He will be missed.
Colleen Barry of of the Associated Press wrote a very good obituary on his works in the fashion industry. Click here to read.
