Gianfranco Ferre — Italian Designer born on August 15, 1944, died on June 17, 2007

Gianfranco Ferré was a fashion designer also known as "the architect of fashion" for his background and his original attitude toward creating fashion design... (wikipedia)

As an architect, I learned to think and express myself on flat forms, on paper, and to imagine the contour of the lines of a design.
The design of a dress, furniture, a house, a room, a street and a city are all the same process.
