"The design of a dress, furniture, a house, a room, a street and a city are all the same process." ― Gianfranco Ferre Topic(s): Design More From Gianfranco Ferre "As an architect, I learned to think and express myself on flat forms, on paper, and to imagine the contour of the lines of a design." More In Design "Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas."― Jil Sander "Our guiding principle was that design is neither an intellectual nor a material affair, but simply an integral part of the stuff of life, necessary for everyone in a civilized society."― Walter Gropius "Leopard is an animal design, and my designs come from nature."― Roberto Cavalli
