DEATH OF A LEGEND: GIANFRANCO FERRE

ferre taking a bow at a show.

if you are an eighties baby like myself, the gianfranco ferre was probably before your time. but this legendary italian designer has touched or influenced nearly every luxury label we love. yesteray, at the age of 62 he died of a massive brain hemorrhage. before turning his attention to his own label, ferre had a long and legendary career at christian dior. he was the first designer of non-french origin to design for the house and his last collection for them bowed a little over ten years agoo. since then he was been focused on reviveing his namesake label and has a mens collection scheduled to be presented on june 24.
