THE SHOW MUST GO ON
Gianfranco Ferre may have passed on but his legacy remains. The "teddy bear" designer who sadly left us on June 17, 2007 was mostly known for being the only designer who could create high fashion ready-to-wear clothes. The Italian designer known as the "architect of fashion" due to his sculpted and structured shapes, was asked to design for Dior from 1989-1996, a time when primarily only French designers would have such an honour.
Yesterday, his Spring-Summer 2008 show for men was presented in front of a tearful audience. Dark blue and white were the colours on show for formal and casual wear. The crowd applauded for ten minutes after it was all over. May he rest in peace.
