MILAN, Jan 8, 2008 / FW/ — If there is such a thing as a dream team in fashion, Gianfranco Ferré just created one. Under the leadership of CEO Michela Priva and Creative Director Lars Nilsson, Gianfranco Ferré is moving forward with the global growth of the brand with the coming on-board of:

Fabien Baron, one of the world’s leading names in image communication, is the author of the major redefinition of the brand’s identity in exquisitely modern terms.

Karl Templer, with his unique flair for style, will serve in heightening the appeal of the Gianfranco Ferré men’s and GF FERRE’ men’s and women’s Fall/Winter 2008/2009 collections.

Michael Hoswell, a world-famous production and set designer, is the mind behind the staging of the Gianfranco Ferré men’s show.

Noona Smith-Petersen will have the delicate task of developing and coordinating the brand’s PR activities.
