Graphic, pop colour, stripes and Op Art. Massimiliano Giornetti fused eye-popping geometrics with the trademark Salvatore Ferragamo craftsmanship for his winter collection. It’s not such an odd marriage – after all, one of the most immediately identifiable designs of Mr Ferragamo was a stripy suede stacked-platform heel in a rainbow of brilliant colours. The same colours striped the length of this season’s catwalk, a striated backdrop to a multihued, multi-patterned multitude of looks. It was the art of the twenties and thirties – a key era of seasonal inspo for labels as varied as Marc Jacobs and MaxMara. Here it was collage reinterpreted at patchwork, of cashmere and satin with mink pom-poms, and lots of zigging and zagging.
