The late Italian designer Gianfranco Ferré, often highlighted in lectures and interviews that, though he never worked in the architecture field, the discipline in which he had graduated at Milan’s Politecnico, each of his creations had something architectural about it, from the method and analyses he developed to design them to the experimental silhouettes, constructions, cuts and materials he employed to actually made them.

While fantasy is one of the main components of fashion, Ferré created like an architect, projecting into space the volumes, structures and geometries that characterised his designs. Ferré’s working method is somehow echoed in the recently opened “Fashion & Architecture” exhibition, a project launched by Amsterdam-based non-profit foundation ARCAM, Liza Koifman & Tomas Overtoom’s Ontfront and Wouter Valkenier’s V2A architectuur & stedebouw.
