Master in Fashion Design in partnership with Fondazione Giafranco Ferré – September 2018
FONDAZIONE GIANFRANCO FERRÉ AWARD
Gianfranco Ferré was born in Legnano, near Milan in 1944. He graduated in Architecture and started designing accessories and jewelry. In 1978 Ferré presented his debut signature women’s ready-to-wear collection with a show in Milan. In 1983, Ferré created the Master’s course in Fashion Design at Domus Academy and led it until 1989, when he became Artistic Director of Christian Dior, up to 1996, for the women’s Haute Couture and Prêt à Porter lines.
Gianfranco Ferré died in Milan in 2007 and the following year the Fondazione Gianfranco Ferrè was founded with the aim of preserving, organizing and making available to the public the designer’s patrimony that includes about 3,000 pieces of clothing and accessories and documents his professional activity.
The Fondazione is still committed to its mission of promoting, pursuing and carrying out projects that relate to the Gianfranco Ferré philosophy and culture of design, to the maestro’s unique idea of fashion and exquisite aesthetic sensitivity.
On the 10th anniversary from his passing, Fondazione Gianfranco Ferré is sponsoring one exceptionally talented student to pursue the Master in Fashion Design at Domus Academy, commencing in September 2018, to further investigate the dynamics of the fashion creative process.
