Gianfranco Ferré was an Italian fashion designer also known as "the architect of fashion", who began designing in the 1970s. His garments are usually graphically created in strong shapes and bright colours. Highly sensitive to form and outline, Ferré shows collections that bear the hallmarks of one whose early training was in the careful study of detail, in analysis and in planning. His intellectual approach to design, produces powerful and controlled clothes which are often folded and layered to create his precise statements.
