Milano:Gianfranco Ferre Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection





Backstage: Gianfranco Ferre Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection.  Three looks from the new Gianfranco Ferre Fall/Winter 2011-2012 collection designed by Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi. The collection which transforms light into opalescence and sensuous atmospheres with constant chromatic/materic references, sublimating the principle of sartorial perfection in shapes and structures that reflect a feel for the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.
