Fulvio Rigoni, director for Ferragamo's women's
ready to wear, showcased his spring summer 2018 collection on a
lawn under the stars, set up for the occasion in front of
Palazzo Mezzanotte, the stock exchange in Italy's fashion
capital.
"No two women are the same and I wanted to celebrate women's
individuality and style, vivid colours..," Rigoni said. For this
reason the collection included pieces with assorted textures,
prints, shapes and "attitudes", a style note said.
Rigoni said he was inspired by the famous women, like Greta
Garbo, Brigitte Bardot and Marilyn Monroe, who had worn
Ferragamo's shoes in the past.
Long floaty dresses, asymmetrical skirts, flared trousers and
pencil designs evoked different eras with designs in emerald
green, deep purple and geranium pink.
Models wore snake skin patterns with matching vests or skirts
under silk ruffled shirts, laser cut short cocktail coats over
high boots, A-line dresses and panelled satin tops and dresses
with plunging backlines.
The looks were matched with peep-toe sandals with golden chunky
heels and capri sandals laced up with silk foulards and small
leather bags with thin geometric bracelet-like handles.
In the finale, models, followed by Rigoni, walked away from the
garden-turn-runway to the steps of the stock exchange, whose
facade was used for a light show by German designer Ingo Maurer.
