Skin is the exceptional interpreter of the ever unmistakable Gianfranco Ferré style for his Spring/Summer 2007 Advertising Campaign. Pure sophistication. Clearly fashion forward.
A unique voice, among the most impressive in the rock music scene. An intense stage presence, full of passion and emotion. Enthralling every time. And now with a vibrant intensity, an effortless appeal, Skin captures the feminine archetype – exquisitely timeless, forever in progress – of Fashion Designer Gianfranco Ferré.
“Strength and charm, energy and sensuality are, for me, indivisible in contemporary femininity,” the designer explains, “they are complementary, intrinsically necessary to one another. Like Yin and Yang. Like opposites that attract to create harmony, a sense of beauty, elegance and glamour.”
“In choosing Skin – her body, the expressiveness of her eyes, her face most of all – I consciously put a special accent on the free, natural, easy and even aggressive spirit I sought to award my woman for next Spring/Summer."
"Yet, without forgetting the notes of composure, grace and languor I always consider essential. These surely contrasting and contradictory qualities I identify in Skin, as the primary and innate elements of her singular allure…”
Glam energy is the mark of the new Gianfranco Ferré woman. A sensation, an image coming through sharp and clear in Mario Testino's shots, where the intentional chromatic density of backgrounds sublimates the perfect, precious cleanliness of the white and black defining each one of the season's looks.
Intense, subtle, fascinating. In a play of glances, close encounters, mutual understandings, feminine/masculine cross references, Skin 'faces off' with model Patrick Petitjean. Passionate and charismatic 'shadow' in the women's advertising campaign, solemn and magnetic protagonist of the Gianfranco Ferré men's campaign. Narrating together the artistic coherence and excellence of a style.
