With Lady Gaga and Madonna as clients, Francesco Scognamiglio is clearly having a moment all his own. While at first glance this young Italian appears to appeal to the Ferré, Pucci and Aquilano Rimondi set, upon closer inspection he’s actually a lot more engaging–dare I say kinky even. While his designs maintain classic shapes–pantsuits, gowns, … Continue reading “Francesco Scognamiglio Fall 2011”
