Salvatore Ferragamo Spring/Summer 2015

For Salvatore Ferragamo’s Spring 2015 collection, Massimiliano Giornetti seeks an idea of sentimental elegance made of recollections and dignity.

 A focus on lightness by removing weight from matter, thickening the optical effect of weaves and graphics, which merge into a dynamic and deliberately imperfect visual texture.

Italian tailoring, an intrinsic part of the house’s DNA, is combined with sportswear to create a new archetype of the male wardrobe.

 Precise lines and perfect details are the backdrop for a tactile experience, a necessary condition of the modern flaneur who achieves effortless rigour.

VERSACE MENS SPRING/SUMMER 2015

Inspired by Cuban soul and the streets of Havana – bringing energy, colour and an air of laid back sophistication

Relaxed formality includes suits worn with t-shirts, tailored shorts ......

and single breasted one button suits transformed into jumpsuits.

Rich fabrics are crepe de chine, wool crepe tailoring and silk jersey trackpants.

Havana scenes appear on macramé embroidered shirts and patchwork leather jackets, while Cuban graffiti inspires a coloured print and jacquard.

Knits are fresh with drop stitch cardigans, fine gauge crochet knits and a cable cardigan in cotton and lurex.

Jeans are elaborately refined, especially white jeans cut and embroidered with baroque swirls and the laser cut black jeans that are hand frayed.

White underwear and swimwear has a Roman mood, worn with towels and togas made from white Versace sheets.
