FASHION IN MOTION AT THE V&A


GIANFRANCO FERRÉ
WEDNESDAY 13 JULY 2005
In association with Istituto Marangoni

Fashion shows at 13.30, 15.30, 19.00 & 20.30 in the V&A's Raphael Gallery

Internationally celebrated Italian fashion designer Gianfranco Ferré will show, for the first time in the UK, highlights from his extensive archive and 2005/6 Autumn / Winter collection in a series of catwalk shows at the V&A. Including Ferré's trademark reinvention of the white shirt, the outfits selected for these shows will all reflect the designer's passion for travel and will feature clothes inspired by cultures from all over the world.

Ferré's fashion credentials have been well established since he designed his first collection in 1974. In 1978 the Gianfranco Ferré company was founded and in 1989 Ferré was appointed artistic director of Christian Dior, where he designed Haute Couture and women's prêt -à-porter collections until 1996 when he returned to working exclusively for his own company. Ferré has received the 'L'Occhio d'Oro' - the Italian fashion Oscar several times and continues to work tirelessly to produce eighteen collections for the nine Ferré clothing lines, and twelve accessories lines every year.

Gianfranco Ferré's enduring, elegant and structured designs have influenced young designers all over the world. He also has a reputation as an innovator in the manipulation of materials, including new techniques such as laser cutting cloth to create perforated patterns in his latest collection.
Istituto Marangoni, an international fashion school based in Milan and London, sponsors the V&A's Fashion in Motion series. Well-known graduates of Istituto Marangoni include, amongst others, Domenico Dolce and Franco Moschino as well as a large number of designers and executives from top fashion companies in Italy and around the world. Istituto Marangoni has strong links with the fashion industry. Its unique programme of placements and its staff of industry professionals offer students an invaluable hands-on experience for working in the fashion world.

FREE tickets for Fashion In Motion will be available to book from 27th June 2005 on 0207 942 2820.
