Milan Fashion Week: Spring '09 - Gianfranco Ferré

My absolute favourite collection from Milan so far is by Gianfranco Ferré. Although the clothing may not be exactly practical, his use of architectural shapes and structures is genius. Belted frocks, extravagant pockets and billowy sleeves were staples, and the soft fabrics counteracted the severe geometric shapes. The collection was so brilliant, it was reminiscent of Chanel's Fall 2008 Couture. Pretty good for a Ready to Wear collection.
