Gianfranco Ferre S/S12 Milan

Stefano Citron and Federico Piaggi are new at Gianfranco Ferre and rather than trying to impress on too many levels they went for a super simple, minimalised concept with a clear direction, complemented by the stark presentation. They opened with a lot of intriguingly varied tailored looks in white, belted in black, and went on to some interesting draped fabric making lovely soft shapes, with the different belts again adding consistency. After the white came beige, mushroom and the odd splash of purple. Will it attract new fans to the label? For me this is higher quality than what’s going on at the over-hyped Jil Sander.
