For the Salvatore Ferragamo 2014 winter collection, Massimiliano Giornetti explores the tactile sensuality of material and the organic quality of color, envisaging a wardrobe where the purity of the tailoring stands out and is paramount to the intrinsic weaving.
The silhouette, clean and sharp, is expressed through pieces that condense the basic language of men’s garments, reinterpreting it in a compact and essential way: small blousons, shortened jackets, duffle coats, Ulster coats, peacoats, and slimly tailored trousers. This conciseness brings focus to the surfaces: never flat, varied colors and sensual. Faded jacquards and graphic stripes on coats and field jackets, jerseys with voluptuous sleeves, weaves that seduce and invite closer examining, brushing that gives the tailoring a vibrant quality. Inserts and overlap effects upset the apparent level of precision: a hood that protrudes, leather details, bomber jacket with knitwear sleeves. Shirts with embellished edges are envisaged as utilitarian jackets.
