Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2015

by Alexandra Ilyashov

Crisp, elegant looks in creamy hues opened up creative director Massimiliano Giornetti‘s sophisticated Spring offering, followed up by a few takes on snakeskin and richly textured nudes aplenty. Color was used (very) sparingly, like a handful of ribbed, swishy monochrome frocks in buttery yellow, emerald green, and tangerine, sprinkled throughout the collection, and patterns were equally hard to come by. But all those demurely-cut nudes, often tinged with a slight sheen, felt undeniably luxe. However, the pretty pieces were in danger of being totally upstaged…by the throwback kicks paired with each look. A more subdued update on Ferragamo’s iconic, rainbow-hued platforms, the richly textured shoes were taken out of strictly nostalgic territory (the shoes were purportedly originally designed for Judy Garland) and thrust into 2014 thanks to a palette of greys, creams, and black. While Giornetti has certainly put ample effort into moving the maison forward, it’s nice to see a tweak on a Ferragamo hallmark in the mix.
