Traveling through decades the fall/winter Ferragamo show presented a liberating collection inspired by the German Tanztheater dance. “The twenties were a moment of freedom, of people rebelling and creating spaces for themselves,” said Creative Director Maximillian Davis. He captured the rebellious spirit of the era in straight-cut silken slips adorned with drop waist lace and shearling, while utilitarian leathers echoed the era’s boldness. Drawing from the liberated, emotional choreography of the 1920s and 1980s, Davis reinterpreted these movements blending past and present in the designs.
“The surrealist idea of taking everyday objects and making them feel a little disturbed is something I feel very interesting,” said Davis. “Creating a sense of discomfort in the expected.” Dreamlike prints flashed throughout, and handbags were filled with fur, challenging the conventional. Fluid satin trenches cinched tightly at the waist, while soft cashmere was contrasted with glossy leathers, and feathers flattened into unique textures. Accessories, like the Hug bag and Soft-bag, took on new life reflecting the season’s whimsical spirit with feathers and organza flowers.

Inspired by everyday repetition, order, and structure, Bally focused on instinctive performance in its fall/winter collection. Drawing from the work of Swiss artist Luciano Castelli, who embodied unrestrained self-expression in the late 1970s, Bally emphasized the contrast between discipline and creativity. Through tailored suits, traditionally a symbol of precision, and wild elements like shearling and leather, the garments conveyed nature’s untamed spirit. Aligning with the German word for “performance,” the collection displayed glittering faces with classic suits, leather jackets drawn in at the waist, and colorful feathers disrupting shades of grey and black. The collection blended formal structure with raw, instinctive freedom similar to the word performance itself.

Focused on everyday wear, the collection reimagined classic pieces like bulky cardigans, blazers, sweaters, and shirts, designed for real life moments. The silhouettes drew from masculine shapes with oversized pieces becoming sensual and dramatic. Sweaters worn as minidresses, cardigans thrown over layers, and a mix of practical footwear like ankle boots and slippers effortlessly blended feminine and masculine styling. The enchanting color palette combined earthy tones with metallic accents, while luxurious materials wool, cashmere, and silk bring depth and texture to each magnetic piece.

The collection showcased luxurious outerwear with elongated, streamlined silhouettes and intricate details, featuring natural shades of deep burgundy, and olive green.
