Gianfranco Ferre pictures the women who wear his clothes as “in movement, dark-haired, scintillating and brilliant.” He likes his women to be dressed in feminine curved lines, asymmetric or subtly restrained silhouettes.
Harmony, geometry, finesse, free-flowing silhouettes, volume and fullness, classic yet modern, are some of the expressions used to describe the creations of Gianfranco Ferre.
One of the garments with which he is always connected, is the white blouse. He is renowned for the way he sculpts white cotton,
silk, or his favourite organza into so many shapes. He has taken the white shirt and made it his own, elevating it far above a humble shirt. He uses beaded cuffs, lace ruffles, collars that soar like birds or that cut loose with billowing sleeves. He is the king of the white shirt.

Born into wartime Tokyo in 1943, he first studied law, but opted instead to go to work for his mother, a seamstress, and enroll
in Bunka Fashion College. It was after a brief sojourn in Paris that he established his first label, Y’s, in Tokyo in 1972, debuting
his line back in the French capital nine years later and blowing away the tight dresses and padded shoulders of the sartorial
moment with the billows of dark fabric and a brand of intellectual playfulness that instantly earned him a place as one of the
most forward-looking, paradigm-breaking, and versatile artists in contemporary fashion.
The international trend of the 1980s: Long black street dresses, flat boots, white ankle socks, no make-up and unevenly cut hair was a direct result of the impact of Yamamoto and Kawakubo (post-modern version of ‘the little black dress’).
