Salvatore Ferragamo – Autumn 2019

Fashion, Fashion Week, Milan

A kaleidoscopic display of identity

by | Feb, 2019

Family, cultural continuum and power; three elements that have been present in the Ferragamo history. This quiet empowerment inspired Paul Andrew, who was promoted last week to creative director, and Guillaume Meilland, men’s ready-to-wear design director and studio director.

The Salvatore Ferragamo Autumn 2019 collection is inspired by the ubiquitous multicolor patchwork wedge of 1942, which alludes to the idea of multiplicity. Tailored garments imagined with an outdoor sensibility frame the menswear collection

An identity kaleidoscope, impossible to characterize in an attitude or gesture. The Ferragamo man rejects easy definitions and instinctively embrace a politic of union.

Deer skin, corduroy and wool give presence to tailored jackets with invisible drawstring waists and long coats. The designed forms and the utilitarian adornments are essential characteristics of satin puffers and cargo pants. The Ferragamo new suit has three buttons, soft shoulders and wide lapels, made in traditional British and Italian fabrics.

The shoes do not just anchor the collection; they are the fundamental ingredients of Ferragamo’s formula. The Nubuck trekking boots and a twist on the classic loafers further accentuate the tension between the classic and the robust.

A new creative horizon begins at Ferragamo, with a renewed commitment to design innovative products for a generation that sees luxury everywhere and nowhere, and for whom inclusion and authenticity rise as beacons of possibilities and hope.
