The new era after Ferre!



Mr. Gianfranco Ferre died in 2007, and his promising successor, Lars Nilsson, was dismissed just before his show in February 2008. So, everyone in fashion world doubt what is going on for this Milano empire.
The new designers, Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi, previously associated with the label 6267, may have changed that. Their collection today embraced all the Ferre elements: architecture, drama, light-emitting fabrics like gazar and organdy, and a kind of chin-up femininity that took from men’s dressing what it needed. The proportions all felt contemporary, especially in the sharpness of slim, belted dresses in white cotton and a snug tuxedo jacket in white marocain with slim silk faille trousers. It seem they find a light with a path now!
