Gianfranco Ferre Spring/Summer 2014: Back to the 80s

Evidently, Gianfranco Ferre designers Federico Piaggi and Stefano Citron were inspired by Gia Carangi and the many iconic images photographer Herb Ritts shot for various Gianfranco Ferre advertisements from the 1980s.

 The 2014 Spring/Summer collection is an example of powerful minimalism utilizing just the right amount of 80s nostalgia. You can clearly see the designers' inspirations flourish to life in this collection:
