There is always a complication when one falls in love. I fell in
love with the body of work that belongs to Massimiliano Giornetti. It
has been about 2 years since I have become a rabid supporter of this
designer with both his men’s and women’s collections for Salvatore
Ferragamo. As when one falls in love, one opens themselves up to
disappointment and that is what I am with this collection. Do not
misconstrue disappointment with dislike; they are two very distinct
emotions. I am merely disappointed this season!
The
disappointment here is that I was waiting for something to happen and it
never did, somewhat like a lot of foreplay and then nothing! This
paean to outerwear was exquisite in its breadth and breathtaking in
scale, details and proportion. In particular, the capes were almost
brilliant as they did not appear to be costumey and then there were the
myriad of silhouettes. The collection never erred from its slick,
rakish and laser sharp focus. The expansive use of reversibles and
technologically advanced leathers and fabric was incredible.
With
all these accolades, I was still waiting for the clothes, but alas all I
got was a tease or two. So I will chalk off this season as
disappointing and hope all my expectations will be met next season!
