Gianfranco Ferré Spring 2010

Gian­franco Ferré’s lat­est col­lec­tion makes up for its lack of spring-​​ready col­ors with its atten­tion to the sil­hou­ette. Play­ing with both anti-​​fit and form-​​fitting sil­hou­ettes, the col­lec­tion makes its state­ment in the form of elon­gated blaz­ers. Sim­i­lar to Jil Sander’s fall col­lec­tion, sev­eral of the blaz­ers fea­ture sharp nar­row shoul­ders and cinched waists. The dif­fer­ence here is that they actu­ally com­pli­ment the male form instead of work­ing against it. Work­ing in the same fash­ion is the mil­i­taris­tic sep­a­rates crafted in vari­ants of green. Baggy and over­size, the details are min­i­mal, the slate clean and the the styling options end­less. The col­lec­tion is an ongo­ing equa­tion of pieces that play it soft or hard hit­ting like the PVC-​​based out­er­wear that com­pli­ments the stark rigid­ity of a pre­dom­i­nantly black and white color palette with its focus on struc­ture. Com­plet­ing the col­lec­tion is a hint of sheen and metal­lic sil­ver as best show­cased in the collection’s footwear.
