Ferrara-made apparel appears on runways in New York City, Paris and other world fashion centers. It is worn by American Olympians, celebrities and VIPs worldwide. A union-represented workforce maintains exacting quality standards while incorporating cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing and automated pattern-making.
