Gianfranco Ferré. Disegni

Gianfranco Ferré (August 15, 1944 - June 17, 2007) received a degree in architecture in 1969 at the Politecnico University in Milan. These studies surely contributed to his personal design methodology, one having little in common with traditional systems in use at dress ateliers and clothing factories. He was one of the greats of Italian fashion, a leading figure during that magic moment when the Made in Italy concept (synonymous with supreme quality, creativity and style) began capturing imaginations worldwide. People still talk about those days with interest and awe.
This monograph can represent a serious reflection on and an accurate analysis of that period - up till now lacking - might prove useful at this time of crisis.
Key Sales Information - This elegant book features a selection of about 250 sketches and technical drawings of Ferré's models starting from the first sketches made in India in 1973 to the last stylized silhouettes dated 2006, and a sizable section of photographs.
- The book is published in cooperation with the Fondazione Gianfranco Ferré, whose aim is to preserve, organize and present to the public the wealth of clothes, drawings, photographs, texts, film footage, etc. that document the designer's professional activity.
