Live From... Milan Fashion Week, Day 2

Salvatore Ferragamo

             

It was a light-filled jaunt through the South of France with Massimiliano Giornetti’s spring/summer showing for Ferragamo. Full of raffish tailoring and relaxed casual looks, it  perfectly melded into  the long lazy days sipping an aperitif watching a game of boules.

The look: Mediterranean summer

Silhouette: Louche and unstructured

Key items: Slouchy tailoring with softly structured 6DB jackets and shorter truncated variations worn with wide slouchy pants, perfect to team with collarless tunic shirts and micro patterned shirtings and toning knitted ties. Knitwear is a strong suit with this designer, and for summer there is a play on lean textured sweaters, belted cardigan jackets and subtle nautical chevroned stripes. 8-button Henleys, soft linen parkas, unstructured belted shirt jackets and dark denim 4 pocket jackets compound the casual look

Colour: A light-infused summery palette reflects the landscape of the South of France, from the warm sand-tinted neutrals to marine blues and soft olive or sage greens, with accents of delicate washed terracotta and the sharp contrast of stark white

Fabric & knit:
Cool linen, silk tweed, washed linen, line/silk blend knits, slubbed linen knits, denim, ticking
Print & pattern: Micro-patterned shirtings, knitted stripes

Details & trims:
A striped hemline on a linen jacket, rouleaux button loops

Footwear: Espadrilles, casually styled white oxfords, fringed detail on basket-weave effects

Accessories: Knitted ties, X-body leather satchels, leather shoppers, canvas and leather trimmed holdalls, wide unstructured straw hats
