From Cathy Horyn's blog:

I hear that Gianfranco Ferre will announce later today the appointment of Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi as its new designers. Rimondi and Aquilano, of the label 6267, have been at the center of Ferre speculation for the past month. They’re a good choice, considering their background in tailoring, and of course their own designs for 6267 and Malo have been generating buzz for a couple of seasons. Living in Italy, working for many years at Max Mara, looking closely at couture–it’s fair to say that Rimondi and Aquilano already know a lot about Ferre and, possibly, what the label needs to be contemporary.

I read that earlier in wwd. I love 6267 hopefully they'll spice things up at Ferre
 
lars nilsson bounces around quite a bit doesn't he...:lol:...

everyone seems to love these guys so maybe this will work...
let's hope...
but ferre's brand hasn't been really relevant on the international scene for many years....

maybe this 80's groove that we all seem to be stuck in will be good for the brand since that is when ferre really shone....
if they are smart they will go into the archives and pull out some seriously amazing white shirts and that sort of thing....
some of the really dramatic architectural stuff that made ferre so beloved by so many at that time....

buona fortuna!...:lucky:
