Gianfranco Ferré for Dior | ‘Palladio’ | c. 1992
• • •
The elegance and timelessness of classical architectural design moves seamlessly into the realm of fashion with Ferré’s “Palladio” gown. The ionic column is quite literally interpreted into a Grecian style gown that uses pleated silk chiffon to mimic a fluted column topped with egg-and-dart embroidered details. The volute spirals are interpreted in the beautifully structured sleeves. My obsession with fashion and love of classical architecture make this one of my favorite gowns from the last 50 years.
