Gianfranco Ferré
Gianfranco Ferré was an influential Italian fashion designer known as the 'Master of Fashion' for his architectural approach to design. Born in 1944, he gained prominence in the 1980s for his innovative and structured clothing, particularly his signature white shirts, which became a staple in women's fashion. Ferré was celebrated for his ability to blend classic elegance with modern femininity, and he served as the creative director of Dior from 1989 to 1996, where he left a lasting impact on the brand's identity. His legacy continues to inspire contemporary designers, including Maria Grazia Chiuri, who referenced his work in her recent collection at Paris Fashion Week.
