PEOPLE, Page 55Needles and PinpricksBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Kathleen Brady
The lean and mean of haute couture were poised to think -- and
say -- the worst about Gianfranco Ferre. After all, the Italian
had replaced the redoubtable Marc Bohan at the House of Dior when
the latter got the boot in May. Last week, as Ferre showed his
first collection, fashion's arbiters met to pass judgment on his
bows and furbelows. Sweltering inside a Parisian garden tent, U.S.
buyers were warm in their admiration for his ball gowns. Though he
picked up the Golden Thimble for his sumptuous duds, most locals
gave the interloper's designs a cool shoulder. Their verdict: not
French enough. Quelle surprise!
