Legacy

Modernity is the statement of Salvatore Ferragamo’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection. There is a strong focus on form where construction channels the sensibilities of the contemporary. The classics have been reinterpreted into the now where traditions are reborn into current creations. Fascinating details break the conventional with new proportions, excellent craftsmanship and amazing fusion of fabrication.

The brand’s contemporary style is realized in its latest jackets, trousers, draping skirt, knitwear, trench and stitched belts, three-dimensional dresses, embroidered leather boots, accessories and jewelry. Women’s wear in this legendary house of fashion is transcending with time as it revolutionizes the collections in the ever-changing industry.

High-end luxury embraces the force of modernity that is supported by a legacy of great tradition in the world of style known as Salvatore Ferragamo. Its men’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection takes the big leap with a burst of hues and modern sportswear. It’s brimming with colors such as pacific, curaçao, spearmint, pastel blue and green, granatina, pink pepper, summer sun and limoncello matched with the quintessential timeless neutral-white, rope and pearl.

These hues burst into casual to dressy wears, giving the look a mod spin with a hint of youthful eccentricity. The dressy look of casuals is seen in the crisp fusion of blazers with tees, trousers and bright running shoes. Designer menswear is forward with a unique combination of tailoring and sportswear. Innovative designs in up-to-date fabrications complement the standards of modern layering. A modern aesthetic — that weaves together art and style, energy and color — heralds the new Salvatore Ferragamo.
