Salvatore Ferragamo this season, revealed statement silhouettes keeping in mind quality and practicality; as the design director Fulvio Rigoni defined backstage in four term “dynamic, luxurious, comfortable, yet sensual.”

Fulvio Rigoni opened the show with a fitted leather blazer in gray/beige, paired with a sleek turtle-neck and silk skirt all in the same colour. Throughout the collection, the cuts were as clear as the colour scheme; but the definite highlight was the use of muted animal patterns in light blue and tan on slip-dresses, coats and wrap skirts. Looks were accessorized with crocodile clutches and high platform booties by Paul Andrew-  Ferragamo’s footwear design director.

Worth remembering pieces  were the glamorous coats with oversized collars and the puffer coats that evened out the range with a sport-chic touch. There wasn’t a lot of red carpet looks, but Rigoni displayed simple and elegant designs that fit every women who took part of the work force. After all, the show notes closed with the designer quoting, “Ferragamo is an attitude.”
