Elegant and sophisticated collection Salvatore Ferragamo Spring Summer 2013 collection was showcased during Milan Fashion Week. The knitwear indulged in the use of sophisticated texture inlays, whilst dresses with layering of hand-made lace and mesh, nappa and tricot oversize T-shirts, dominated the runway.
We witnessed an intimate, private world reflected in a palette of neutral shades, from Linen to Champagne, Clay to Luna, Ash to Dorato – interspersed with the unexpected dash of khaki. Graphic touches of black ensure continuity between them.
Legs were sensually highlighted by the extraordinary cross between boots and sandals, cuissardes cut and profiled by extremely fine threaded braid. New sandals with nappa laces and bands fastened by buckles, or the high, open-toe crocodile sandal, raw and precious, made from a single cut of skin.
Over the arm, the authentic luxury of soft hobos threaded with exquisitely fine braiding and graced by details evoking the saddlery trade. Unique items like the ultra-soft bags with handcrafted raised embroidery and the rustic calf travel bag.
The jewellery was a surprising mix of materials: warm touches of leather combined with hard metal. Chains in thick texture are layered around the neck and wrists. The bracelets and necklaces elegantly reproduce equestrian details and horse hooks.
