Milan Menswear Autumn/Winter 2008

Gianfranco Ferré
Last October, Lars Nilsson took over the creative reins at Gianfranco Ferré. With Ferré's shoes a difficult space to fill, Nilsson opted for a soft debut with a static presentation using models and mannequins rather than a runway show - but the result was still impressive.

Working with silhouettes and slimmer jackets, Nilsson tweaked shoulder lines and added a larger, wider pant – which is proving to be very directional for Nilsson. But the Wallpaper* most wanted piece has to be the collections three-piece suit in brushed Prince of Wales check wool.
