Venturi

Gian Marco (1946). Italian fashion designer. He graduated from the Istituto Tessile in Prato. He took a degree in economics in Florence. But he chose to go into fashion and designed a line of women’s prêt-à-porter for Domitilla (1974). Then came numerous projects with Lebole, Sander for leather, Marko’s Alexander, Biba for knitwear and, in 1979, with Erreuno, a Milanese house that hired him to do their collections for six seasons. In 1981, he went into business on his own with the name GMV: there were menswear and womenswear lines, and beginning in 1987, also Sport, Underwear and men’s and women’s Jeans. His style: rigor and refinement, color and personality for men.
&Quad;He entered the millennium with three boutiques in Japan, more than ten franchised sales outlets open in New York and offices in Rome, Milan and Florence.
