The shirt according to Gianfranco Ferré

The shirt according to Gianfranco Ferré

Until June 15 2014 the Prato Textile Museum - Museo del Tessuto will host the exhibition “The White shirt according to me. Gianfranco Ferré”, in collaboration with the foundation dedicated to the memory of the great Italian designer.

Organised by Daniela Degl’Innocenti, this retrospective exhibition shows the creative world and poetic tailoring of Gianfranco Ferré using the iconic white shirt, «signs of my style» as he himself defined them.  The exhibition is a journey through his designs, sketches, photographs and images of advertising campaigns, installations and videos that represent the most important moments in his 30 years on the catwalks. The stars of the show are the 27 shirts, shown in chronological order in a light which enhances the varying shades of white. Taffeta, tulle, satin, silk, cotton, embroidery, lace and stitching follow one another in a striking plastic effect, finishing in a crescendo that shows the mastery of Gianfranco Ferré.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a full calendar of events and activities dedicated to fashion and art and design students.
