One more time, this is a collection that needs no
explanation as it stands by itself as a testament to designers who design and
do so in the most fluid way. The collection by Massimiliano Giornetti for
Salvatore Ferragamo reminds me that this man knows his way around tailoring as
it reminds me of a collection he once did with inspiration from the French Riviera/Saint
Tropez.

Tailoring is the star attraction as well as is his affection
for all types of fabrications and patterns certainly demonstrated in shirts and
sweaters. There is a somewhat 70s vibe with the conversational prints and the classic
hound’s-tooth and glen plaid that are done up to maximum affect without a touch
of a dated feeling. Giornetti has always been partial to outerwear and this
season is no different, from reefers to parkas to bombers and motorcycle
jackets, they all make an appearance in an assortment of colors and
fabrications. This collection offers up a new facet of the designer and that is
his sense of humor.

If one had to find some fault with the collection it would
have been the high water pant lengths and the almost exclusively slim
silhouette that pervaded the collection. While on the deficit side, we could
speak to the “young” casting which surely was not the wisest for the collection
as some more mature looking men would have greatly benefitted the visual
presentation.
