This ensemble from Gianfranco Ferré mimics the look of denim, but it is made entirely from luxurious silk. Ferré created this illusion by using a silk that blends dark blue and white threads. He also included orange-yellow top-stitching and copper-finished buttons—design features Levi’s® pioneered on its riveted jeans during the late 19th century.
