The Fall Winter 2018/19 collection by Salvatore Ferragamo marks the beginning of a new chapter for the historical italian maison.
The show represents the debut for Paul Andrews, creative director of the Women’s section, beside Guillaume Meilland, design director of Men’s Ready to wear. The collection expresses a new way of conceiving shapes and lines which are brought back to essentiality, made softer and longer, giving life to a new idea of comfort and functionality.
The true starting point of the Women’s collection is colour which is highlighted by the unique quality of the materials. It ranges from reds to yellows, to greens, to intense blue. The shoes, fulcrum of Ferragamo’s story, perfectly complete the line emphasizing the idea of a from head to toe collection. Leather is definitely the common thread of the Women’s collection. It is declined in the most different ways. The knitwear becomes the ideal completion of leather clothes with ponchos and cashmere clothes.
The Menswear collection presents functional clothes revisited with an innovative conception and enriched by fine materials and decorations. Silk twill, wool, leather and shearling shirts with handmade seams are again the signature of the collection.
Accessories, bags, such as the new crocodile “the studio bag”, and shoes are signed with the hisorical logo of Ferragamo, a symbol of quality and eccellence.
