Ferré and Comte DETAILS. Great interpreters between fashion and art

The sartorial genius of Gianfranco Ferré and the photographic art by Michel Comte come together for two exhibitions that are part of the many initiatives for the bicentenary of the arrival of Marie Louise of Habsburg-Lorraine in Parma, former Empress of France and Duchess of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla. “Ferré and Comte DETAILS. Great interpreters between fashion and art”, a project conceived by Alberto Nodolini and produced by Ankamoki, will unfold in the halls of the first and second floor of the Palazzo del Governatore in Parma from September 30th 2016 to January 15th 2017.

The first floor will be dedicated to the exhibition “Gianfranco Ferré and Marie Louise, unexpected similarities”, curated by Gloria Bianchini and Alberto Nodolini in collaboration with the Gianfranco Ferré Foundation. The second floor will be completely dedicated to the installations by Michel Comte for the “Neoclassic” exhibition curated by Jens Remes in collaboration with Alberto Nodolini and Anna Tavani.

Strongly supported and backed by the Department of Culture of Parma, the double exhibition Ferré/Comte is also a clear desire to provide, within the initiatives aimed at enhancing the area on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the arrival of the Duchess, an event that looks towards the contemporary, inside one of the most prestigious and ancient palaces of the city.
