Ferré contributed to narrating the history of Italian and international fashion for decades, and became a point of reference in the industry.
She was also fast friends with Gianfranco Ferré, to whom she was not related, reiterating this again and again. This was an easy mistake, given their physical resemblance, said Rita Airaghi, the late designer’s cousin and longtime collaborator who created the Fondazione Gianfranco Ferré.
Born in Milan on Dec. 16, 1946, the writer and the designer were only two years apart in age and “they understood each other, shared problems connected to their imposing physical appearance and teased one another on this. Gianfranco would even suggest diet tips — she had a strong sense of humor,” recalled Airaghi. “She was very special, I am deeply saddened, it’s another piece of my life that disappears and Gianfranco and I shared so many moments together with her on our path since the mid-’70s.
Giorgio Re, communication specialist and a member of the former Gianfranco Ferré press office, recalled a quirk of hers, as she refused to use a computer and continued to work with a typewriter. He also remembered how the designer, who died in 2007, and the journalist were bound by “a strong affection and shared a brisk intellectual exchange, both being equally frank with one another.
“We’re all very upset and moved, the magazine was born with Giusi,” said Danda Santini, editor in chief of Io Donna. “Her column has always been the favorite among our readers. She was an exceptional collaborator, always on time…and with razor-sharp writing skills,” she said. “She could easily ping-pong between fashion, culture and lifestyle [subjects]. She was brilliant and cultured, but at the same time, she could be very light spirited, humorous and self-mocking, which is not always typical in our industry. As much as she was professionally sharp, she was lovable, always smiling and laughing.
