S A L VA T O R E FERRAGAMO

Simplicity was key at Ferragamo’s fall/winter 2022 show. The Italian label stripped things way back by opting for a presentation housed in the Sala delle Cariatidi of Palazzo Reale in Milan. There was a resonant disregard for gendered conventions in the collection—both the menswear and womenswear were compelling offerings for a simply well-designed wardrobe—36 looks, to be exact. This was a collection that whispered its elegance: All-cream ensembles were rendered in luxurious knits, and the approach to colour felt particularly artful with the occasional pops of crimson amid a sea of neutrals. It’s clear the collection does not compromise on comfort: The drawstring boiler suits were effortlessly integrated in an otherwise dominantly cosy collection. Attention must also be paid to the accessories which were unabashedly roomy and functional.
