Gianfranco Ferré S/S 2012 Milan

Beautiful pieces, very sleek and laid back. The fabric looks AMAZING!

Just take away the 3 plucked chickens and we're good.

Agreed. The three feather dresses were some missteps amid a solid and successful collection. I kinda loved the all white looks that opened the show. It kinda paid homage to Ferre, the house, and his codes...

I am seeing Haider Ackerman too, but I gotta say, I like it.

Obviously I am a bit crazy but I am getting a F/W 09 menswear vibe from this collection.

Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi are out at Gianfranco Ferré, Stefano Citron and Federico Piaggi are in. Being virtual unknowns won't help the cause of making Ferré relevant again. That said, the new duo do seem to have a firm grasp on the late designer's legacy. Citron and Piaggi had the white shirts with the requisite flourishes—a slice down the single sleeve on an asymmetric silk crepe blouse, a nearly backless scarf top tucked into one of the show's ubiquitous metal belts. Occasionally, their grand gestures got the better of them. That was certainly the case with Karlie Kloss' black silk sleeveless top, which looked like it required two extra sets of hands to get into it properly. Citron and Piaggi also have Ferré's eye for statement suits, although you have to think that the crisp, cropped jackets and high-waisted, pleated trousers would connect with more customers if they were in a color other than white.

Are special blouses, sharp suits, and dresses draped from the neck and gathered in those metal belts enough to attract new fans to the label? Citron and Piaggi are skilled enough to deserve another chance, but there's been so much volatility at this brand lately that there's little assurance that they'll get one

This collection fu*king fantastic. The refinement is making me drool. But yes, it's quite unoriginal and sorta betraying of Ferre's legacy. Still, it's absolutely bloody gorgeous. There's Ackermann, but I kinda see a lot Rick Owens as well.

So so chic. I really love this collection especially the splash of purple and pink.

There are amazing pieces but it feels a bit uniformy and even Ackermann-ish.

It looks like an odd cross between Ackerman, Gucci, and Lanvin. I don't know, this isn't what I love about Ferre at all.
