There's something of architecture in fashion. Fashion is the construction of garments. It's no different in theory to constructing a building. In both instances it happens from a design, uses materials, and humans put the work in. It doesn't pay to think of these glasses as strictly fashion design, in that case. It pays to think of Gianfranco Ferre eyewear as architecture on a smaller scale.

It may be no surprise then to note that Gianfranco Ferre himself had an architecture degree before the self-started brand was even established. If it seems odd, it's not. Not really. A designer called Tom Ford was in the same position. Except for the relative size and scope of the project on the whole, there really isn't too much difference between drawing a building and drawing a dress. Especially not once you stat talking couture. If these glasses seem safe as houses, that's where the concept originated.
Take the Gianfranco Ferre GF 424 for instance. Subtle and slender circles between strong temples, straddle an authoritative bridge. In light havana it's the kind of sunrise worth paying homage to. It's a beacon of warmth and hope, no matter the weather. It's a champ, carrying a torch. It is the courage to light its own path.
