I like this very much.
I felt that every idea and detail (the embroidered F lifted from Salvatore Ferragamo's signature, the ankle strap on the sandals echoed in the leather collar detail of some of the looks, etc.) was well thought out and executed,; the subtle bell-shaped sleeves on the tailoring looked very fresh; and the trail of very long fringe attached to the minimalist evening dresses was sexy and very chic at the same time.
True, there are echoes of Phoebe Philo's Céline in many of the details (extended shirt cuffs, mix of khaki and black leather in a single outfit, fitted bodice with layered hems, etc.), but they looked more like a point of reference than an outright copy. I felt more strongly a kind of late 90s New York minimalism in some of the separates, outerwear and layering - not a bad thing at all.
I didn't like Maximilian Davis' previous shows, so this was a really nice surprise. It makes me want to finally walk into a Ferragamo store once again, half a year from now.
