Ferragamo collection features shades of the Tuscan countryside at Milan Fashion Week
Fashion designers Paul Andrew and Guillaume Meilland turn to Italian region’s rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves for inspiration for their colour palette
The Tuscan countryside sprung in the heart of Milan on Saturday as Italian fashion designer Salvatore Ferragamo showed its spring-summer 2019 collection, full of soft hues and rich leather.
Creative director of women’s collections, Paul Andrew, and Guillaume Meilland, head of the group’s ready-to-wear, said the collection was inspired by the colour palette of Tuscany’s rolling hills, vineyards and olive groves.
Bold tones of emerald, indigo, orange, red and violet popped out ‘as punctuation’ among the taupe, caramel, biscuit beige, khaki and olive green, in clothes and accessories designed for both men and women.
It was a continuation of the Florence-based maison’s autumn-winter collection, which was also created by the two designers.
It showed monochrome designs momentarily broken by clothes in palm tree patterns.
“It’s an awesome and fun experience designing together, we have built this new common vocabulary,” Andrew said.
