About this product

Gianfranco Ferre was appointed as Artistic Director for Christian Dior, replacing Marc Bohan, from 1989 to 1996. Ferre re-introduced the classic style and designs at Dior from the 1950’s and his haute couture jewellery collections reflect this.
At the dawn of the 1990s, Gianfranco Ferré brought a sense of bold glamour, imbued with sumptuous materials and rich colors, in voluptuous and exuberant proportions, expressing a femininity that was both sophisticated and contemporary. It was powerful, too, reflecting the growing role exercised by women in society. Moreover, this successor to Yves Saint Laurent and the pairing of Marc Bohan and Frédéric Castet designed for an archetype: the woman of the moment, and not with specific customers in mind.

From his first haute couture collection, shown in 1989 in the garden of the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild, up until 1996, Gianfranco Ferré drew on the House’s history and codes, which he infused with the spirit of the time.

His work is rare and highly sought after.
