Since their very first collection for the Gianfranco Ferré menswear label, back in Fall 2009, I really have been a huge fan of the work that Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi have been producing. Somehow, the pair always seems to find a way to continue on with the structure and clean lines that was brought about through the late Gianfranco Ferré’s background in architecture, yet still breath new life into the label. Dressing for the future, but not forgetting the past, a tactic that has yet to fail them.

Sitting in at a Gianfranco Ferré show can now officially be crossed off my list of things to do before I bite the dust.

Filled to capacity, the venue, runway set up and even the time of the show, was the same as usual. Arriving pretty much on time, I began notice that the crowd waiting for the show to start was more dapper and well put-together than the usual mixed bag you that would normally get a show.

Though it wasn’t the front row, I was more than pleased with my second row seat in the center of the runway. A position that didn’t even exist in last season’s showing.

As the show started and looks went by, I started to pick up on the fact that the lighting is a lot different from what you see in a 320 X 480 pic on GQ.com.

On the opposite end of the venue, you could frequently see guest in smiles. Purely pleased with what they were seeing.

At end, as the designers dashed from runway exit to runway entrance to take their bow, the response received was a response well deserved.

A highlight of my Fall 2010 season – an all around high point in my life.

On a Side Note – My snaps don’t exactly put me in the same category as Meisel, so bare with me. Note to self – avoid backs of heads next season.
