i gotta disagree with you MikeiJames
they had pretty good collections up until now. S/S 09 was, for me, a total show stopper. awesome cuts, fantastic use of colors, degradé, intricate beading on kummerbunds, bags, the works.
this is just... a whole lot darker than what we're used to seeing from Ferragamo.
Bravo!!!!!let's be clear: ferragamo has never slipped for a second on cut and on quality. i cannot recall in all of my following of ferragamo over the years having a show that had this much attitude and this much narrative -- dark as it may be. yes, we had the beginnings of it -- a great bulky cardigan worn bare-chested a year ago, a beautiful scarf thrown over a spring suit with verve -- but we've never seen it executed from head to toe like this. this show has done what we've come to expect from even the boring show from gucci or prada etc: it's given us something to talk about. it's given us a total look that's out there, but forces us to re-think the everyday.
