MILAN, Feb 27, 2005/ FW/ --- Trust Gianfranco Ferré to take the androgyny trend to a higher level, to redefine and refine it, bringing ‘contemporary femininity in its multiple manners and expressions.’

Mixing fluid and architectural silhouettes, and truly blurring the line between Victor/Victoria with his generously cut trousers hanging just below the waist to give a sense of fluidity and then matching it with opulent coats trimmed with fur, the contradiction became convergence, resulting to a totally new look for today’s modern woman.

It’s probably because the 21st century has seen women rise to positions of power, when she is very at ease with her femininity while exercising that power without feeling manly.

Gianfranco Ferré caters to her, the woman who has the self-assurance to wear a tiered floor length flounce skirt and chiffon off the shoulder top then change to her severe pin stripe suit the next without missing a beat.

She can wear leather jacket embroidered and embedded with colored crystals plus trimmed in fur, flaunting her feminine side. She can wear black trousers paired with a simple white shirt then add a long black coat that looks like a cape, almost masculine, yet you never forget she’s femme.

Her strides are firm, thanks to the boots reminiscent of the gaucho’s bolas de potro. Her purses are badges of honor – in leather, alligator skin or fur that sometimes are adorned by fringes or embroidery.

She’s not scared to seen wearing jeans. In fact, she relishes it. After all, she is wearing a fur coat. She asserts opulence and would take nothing less. Because in the end, she is a metro girl turned super girl!

She can do anything and be anything she wants to be!
