Even though the fall/winter 2024 runways have sparked the resurgence of maximalist elements—think animal prints and dramatic layering—Ferragamo remains committed to its contemporary coolness. Known for injecting a youthful essence into the storied label's DNA, creative director Maximilian Davis offers a refreshing counterpoint to the colourful and conspicuous this time. Characterised by clean lines and subtle details, the latest pieces are exceptionally versatile and come together to create ideal day-to-night ensembles.

Ever since Maximillian's appointment at Ferragamo in 2022, the creative director has lost no time in boldly redefining some of the label's most established design codes. In particular, transforming a timeless creation into one that's more sensual, fluid and modern. On one hand, you have alluring stilettoes and bustier bodysuits made more opulent with exquisite feather trims. And on the other, classic footwear silhouettes like loafers and ballet flats are revamped with a futuristic edge. Paired together with sharply tailored suit jackets or slinky dresses that cling on to every curve of your body, the Ferragamo ensemble exudes a radical elegance.

In reflecting the sartorial sensibilities of the modern woman, two of the collection's most emblematic pieces come to life: The Hug Bag and the Ballerina. Both are immediately visually striking thanks to distinctive features. Notably, the Gancini closure on extended arms for the Hug Bag and the bolder Vara buckle for the New Vara plate ballet flat.

THE HUG BAG

Conceived through a meticulous construction process, the Hug Bag is a testament to Ferragamo's savoir-faire. Crafted from tanned leather, the house's artisans first utilise pre-designed models and technical drawings to precisely cut out the bag's structure. Once its foundational features are established, the artisans carefully braid leather strips to create its unique interlocking handles—a process that enhances its strength and durability. The end result is a capacious bag with rounded edges, two hand-braided handles and symmetrical golden Gancini closures on both sides, "hugging" the front panel. A coveted arm candy that's luxurious and functional across all touchpoints, it easily takes the spot for the season's everyday bag.

Sporting a classic Mary Jane silhouette, the New Vara plate ballet flat is refreshed with an ultra-modern twist. This time, the iconic Vara buckle is made bigger, more geometric and is engraved with the label's new logo. Its sleek and sharp appearance is juxtaposed with a touch of softness in the form of a grosgrain ribbon. Crafted from velvety smooth leather, the flat's rubber sole and glove construction also ensure an easy fit and all-day comfort. The ballerinas come in three colourways—black, pink and silver-finish leather.
