FERRE, 90210: Tommaso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi, basking in critical acclaim for their first collection for Gianfranco Ferré, landed in Beverly Hills on Tuesday to show 30 fresh off the runway looks to a select group of customers at Saks Fifth Avenue. The duo were the picture of European cool, even stepping outside for a cigarette break just minutes before the show began. Backstage, they carefully zipped and laced models into their high-tech creations and towering heels, taking special care to tie the late designer’s signature bows just so. “We get to come to California about twice a year but, with all that is going on in Milan, we feel the pressure to come home and continue working,” said Aquilano, before dispensing the advice, “There are some versatile fabrics and cocktail dresses in this collection that are perfect for the weather in Los Angeles.”
