Massimiliano Giornetti’s Resort 2013 collection for Salvatore Ferragamo was infused with time-honored Italian artistry — but with a decidedly updated edge.
“A woman whose eyes resemble the crystalline waters of St. Barts and the radiance of a morning in Eivissa. Elegant and independent, she has a penchant for luxury and an inherent sense of multifaceted style that she shares with Salvatore Ferragamo’s purest DNA.” – Massimiliano Giornetti on his inspiration for Resort 2013.
The first by an Italian fashion house to put on a show at the Louvre. Ferragamo is currently sponsoring an exhibit of Leonardo da Vinci’s work at the museum.
Pale-hued pieces showed off Giornetti’s handiwork, like dresses that came in panels laced together by leather cords, or in crocheted pieces finished with fringe. Giornetti said one tank dress, made of strips of leather affixed with small pieces of metal, took four people 10 days to create. Many of the looks were shown with knee-high boots and handbags made from snakeskin or suede.
