For the Salvatore Ferragamo Resort 2025 collection, Maximilian Davis returns to the House archives to uncover the spirit of the late 1970s and translate it through his resolutely contemporary gaze.

Accordingly, the sensuality which marked the era – and has become a key code of Davis’ Ferragamo – appears quietly omnipresent through languid silhouettes and fluid fabrications; liquid sequins, flocked denim and draped silks. Viscose batwing minidresses and thigh-skimming tailoring showcases the distinct Ferragamo confidence, while high-shine kitten heels, graphic cut-out mules and boudoir-spirited feather trims possess a fetishistic allure. Second-skin booties and snakeskin prints expressly amplify that energy.

Scarf dresses are patchworked from illusory prints reflecting the memory of textures, or distorted abstractions of florals for a dreamlike distillation of nostalgia. The silhouette of his Ferragamo tailoring – its strong shoulder, its narrowed waist – is formed in cotton or coated raffia. In both mens and womenswear, loafers showcase an elegant insouciance. The iconic Hug bag is softened and reconstructed for ease, its single handle and supple leather now gently informing its structure, while the introduction of a new handbag draws its shape from the drape of scarves, formed from butter-soft leather.

Throughout the collection, the continued and essential language of modern Ferragamo is refined and reasserted: the exacting elegance of refined minimalism imbued with intriguing details and meticulous craftsmanship.
