Sitting in Style–Hitting the photo studio for a modest sitting with photographer Daniele Rossi, d’men model Theo Hall is enlisted for GF Ferré’s spring/summer 2012 campaign.

A no show on the runway this season due to the last minute drop out of a sponsor, Gianfranco Ferré made a modest proposal with a smart lineup of suiting and outerwear. Combining relaxed tailoring and an exercise of the exaggerated silhouette, the label came to a contemporary understanding for the man of great formalities.

GF Ferré looks to modeling veteran Eddie Klint to front their fall 2010 campaign. Photographed alongside Georgina Stojiljkovic, Eddie reunites with Emilio Tini for a subdued fall outing.


Photographed by Emilio Tini for Gianfranco Ferré’s fall 2010 eyewear campaign, d’men model Nikola Jovanovic makes a splash by also starring in the season’s lookbook, where strength and power are derived from fall’s elongated silhouettes.

Offering a seasoned palette of fused cultures, Gianfranco Ferré adapted an Eastern philosophy for spring’s collection. Relaxed and extended from an organic pacing, silk and linen, painted in an array of vivid prints paved the path for Gianfranco Ferré’s soft slipper wearing man.

Trained as an architect prior to becoming a fashion designer, Gianfranco Ferré was known as the “architect of fashion”. Ferré’s signature womenswear collection was launched in 1978 and menswear followed suit in 1982, while his couture collection was introduced in 1986. Shape and structure were to be expected from the Italian designer, playing a dominant role in much Ferré’s designs. He was also known for his crisp lines and impeccable tailoring, with the white shirt becoming his signature piece. In 1989, Ferré was appointed as the head designer of Christian Dior. The engagement ended in 1997 and he was succeeded by John Galliano. With the passing of Gianfranco Ferré in 2007, the Italian label was taken over by designers, Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi. They remain true to the designs of the late Ferré, with geometric dresses for women and sharply tailored suits for men.
