I love going back to Ferrè's Dior collections, adore the pink gown in #18. So gorgeous, together with that coat it looks really majestic

FERRE IN, BOHAN OUT AT DIOR PARIS (FNS) - Christian Dior confirmed Wednesday that Marc Bohan, its artistic director for almost three decades, was leaving and Gianfranco Ferre would take over as designer of its couture and ready-to-wear collections.

Ferre will continue his own men's wear collections and women's rtw as they exist now. He will no longer design his signature couture collection and will also drop his fur collection in favor of Dior's.

FERRE SAYS RELATIONSHIP WITH DIOR A PERFECT MATCH PARIS (FNS) -- "It's a grand honor to have been chosen to design for the house of Dior," said Gianfranco Ferre upon arrival in Paris Thursday. Ferre also said he felt that it was good for Dior "to have someone like me who has a respect for the quality, image and tradition of the house.

"I don't feel that I am so far away from what Christian Dior himself did," Ferre continued, as he prepared for a press conference in Paris' Crillon Hotel Thursday afternoon. "I have a modern approach to simple shapes and I think there is a similarity there."
