Attention to Detail in Ferragamo's Fall/Winter 2023 Collection

The vision of late Italian shoe designer, Salvatore Ferragamo, lives on. Getting his start in 1920s Hollywood, Ferragamo was a sought-after shoemaker loved by many celebrities and movie stars. His innovative designs included the wedge heel, and the beloved Italian designer was never afraid to experiment with construction techniques, models, and materials in his shoes. 

Since the house's rebrand last season, creative director Maximilian Davis has continued Salvatore Ferragamo's outlook on design. Experimental, sleek, and "old-Hollywood," Ferragamo's Fall/Winter 2023 collection showcases the future of the brand.  

Though the collection as a whole brings classic minimalism to life, Maximilian Davis also insinuates new beginnings. From the structured tailoring in trench coats and blazers to the use of latex in dresses and suits, Davis portrays his own version of experimentation. The collection's color palette moves from navy beginnings, cool-toned blues and grays (seen throughout much of this fashion month), pops of red and yellow, until finishing with silver and black. The show references the many places Ferragamo has yet to explore. Geometric necklines, Florentine drapery, and his subtle use of color emphasize Davis' maturity as a designer, despite his young age. 

Old Hollywood notions of glamorous simplicity are taken a step further in Ferragamo's Fall/Winter 2023 collection. Classic pieces are reimagined in a futuristic lens thanks to Davis' attention to detail. For example, in the third look, the simple buttoned coat has a white overlay on the shoulders which gives fresh life to a tried and true classic. Styled with purple tights, the Ferragamo heels take center stage. Ferragamo's newest collection continues the brand's recent refresh.
