Farewell Giusi Ferré

The journalistic panorama loses a great signature of fashion and costume. Giuseppina, aka Giusi, died in the night between 14 and 15 April 2022, at the age of 76, in her Milan.

The fashion editor label is not enough to tell her story.
Giusi Ferré has been a careful observer of costume and trends for many decades and, with a competent, severe and ironic gaze, she translated the world of fashion that surrounded her into words.

Author of lucky columns such as Touch of Class and Banana Peel in the magazine Io Donna, supplement to Corriere della Sera, was also the protagonist of television programs such as Oltremoda, Italia's Next Top Model and the iconic docureality Banana Peel, conducted by her for four seasons.

Endowed with a strong personality, Giusi Ferré joined the Order of Journalists in 1975. she "she scrutinized facts, things and people" recalls the costume designer and set designer Quirino Conti. A sharp, sarcastic and cultured pen that from Milan has reached the whole Italian and international scene, also thanks to books that tell famous lives such as those of Giorgio Armani, Alberta Ferretti and Gianfranco Ferré.

Many of her will remember her for her particular red-orange hair and for her total black look; I will personally remember her as a great professional, simple and sharp who one day, at the end of a press conference, she said to me: "If you want to be, get out of your shell." Hi Giusi.
