Ferragamo's trompe l'oeil
MANILA, Philippines - Black and white snapshots of an urban skyline. A brisk pace across the streets of the metropolis. A sculptured overcoat made of alpaca or astrakhan lined cloth with the impeccable tailoring of a constructed jacket: bold shoulders, crisp silhouette, double-fillet vertical pockets and ample lapels.
Salvatore Ferragamo says is a question of knowing how to choose. A man’s inclination is reflected in his sharp wardrobe, where traditional fabrics rediscover modernity, where pure forms encounter richly textured materials.
Sophisticated playful graphics enliven knitwear with geometrical necks and layered with contrasting tailored shirts. The patterns suggest artists’ canvases or reproduced jacquards generated by the decomposition of solids, or in reinvented chevron weaves, broken versions of houndstooth and herringbone, teazling and fur stitches, producing never-ending trompe l’oeil effects.
On his feet, the excellence of Ferragamo craftsmanship finds its most exclusive expression in the Tramezza Special Edition: an absolutely modern form, hand-painted, with squared lines, graceful stitching and the distinguishing feature of a metallic heel profile.
In the Philippines, Salvatore Ferragamo is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists Inc. (SSI) and is located at Power Plant Mall, Greenbelt 4, Rustan’s Tower, Rustan’s Makati, Alabang Town Center and Rustan’s Ayala Cebu.
