So dreamy, so soulful, so Ferragamo

-
A strength arising from apparent fragility, a sensation emerging from somewhere afar, an air of easy comfort bypassing pure necessity. The Ferragamo autumn/winter 2001-2002 collection revolves around the idea of a woman who wraps herself in clothes as she would in her favorite pajamas or bathrobe in the privacy of her boudoir.

A dreamy creature with a concrete soul, she highlights this seductive contradiction with novel ultra-high platforms in special white faux porcelain resin.

Strips of lizard, suede, satin or patent leather intertwine on feet planted firmly on the ground while the body reaches toward the sky through a stunning silhouette: long and enveloping with high-waisted pants, short and boxy for skirts.

All is deliberate, expressly elaborate and measured to create a new fashion vocabulary from the foundations of feminine elegance: the trench, the caban, the knee-length skirt, pants (with high waists or tucks), the suit, the mannish coat, the shirt, the dress, the parka, the T-shirt. At once simple and sophisticated, colors include three hues of white (wool, optical, mother-of-pearl), red (cherry, blackcurrant, lacquer) and grey (cloud, asphalt, Tahitian pearl), with flashes of black or wisteria for day, bright yellow for evening. At first glance, a pictorial splotch, actually a gigantic gardenia makes for the only motif – in print form for certain day pieces and matt-palette embroidery for eveningwear.

The play of contrasts intensifies in the furs: fox capes with goat inserts to throw nonchalantly over shoulders from dawn till dusk; black lapin coats to come-on in street-luxury mode; seductive fur to sport over a shirt – the ultimate cache-coeur.

Salvatore Ferragmo is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc, a division of the Rustan Group of Companies.
