Formally trained as an architect, Italian designer Gianfranco Ferre launched his first signature womenswear collection in 1978, followed shortly with a men’s collection in 1982, fragrance in 1984, and a couture line by 1986. His clientel include Julia Roberts, Sophia Loren, Oprah Winfrey, Sharon Stone and Elizabeth Taylor. After Gianfranco Ferre’s death in 2007, designer Tommaso Aquilano and designer Roberto Rimondi took over. Their first collection (spring 2009) won acclaim for honoring Gianfranco Ferre’s legacy of controlled femininity while modernizing the label with their stiff, geometric dresses in curve-conscious shapes.
