On September 24, Maximilian Davis made his debut with Ferragamo in the courtyard of a 17th century neoclassical palace – red was in abundance, clearly

The 27-year-old British designer wooed with strong silhouettes and simple elements, like tank tops and leggings, while skin-tight leather ensembles turned heads

Maximilian Davis created a vermilion red background for his Ferragamo debut in the courtyard of a 17th century baroque and neoclassical palace – all the better to highlight the fashion house’s new direction. The Italian brand showcased its spring/summer 2023 fashion collection on September 24, as part of Milan Fashion Week.

All the better to highlight the bag of the season, oversized cut-out bags in highly polished leather with a canvas interior.

Dresses were slinky in solid colours or flowing chiffon in degradé prints; a red trouser and skin-tight top combo popped with crystals.
