Milan Fashion Week: Ferragamo Fall 2026 Collection

Posted on March 02, 2026

For Autumn-Winter 2026, Maximilian Davis continues to explore the 1920s, the period of Ferragamo’s inception, through the language he has established at the house. The speakeasy returns as a focal point– a locus of liberation; a space where conventions of class and identity are disrupted – and the collection is informed by the diverse characters who would intermingle and populate it after hours.

The clothing of sailors offers a foundational motif: those who would go to sea to build better lives for their families. “That’s something that both Salvatore and my own family experienced – he left his home in Italy for America before returning home, and my family moved from Trinidad and Jamaica to Manchester,”explains Davis. “They all crossed the water to discover new beginnings.” Sailor uniforms, and the status they signify, are both reconsidered and subverted: forms deconstructed; buttons displaced; fastenings undone. Their wardrobe is equally refigured through fabrication: nautical knitwear needle-punched with chiffon to structure its form; workwear parkas realised in textured nappa, their hoods lined with shearling.

Alongside utilitarian attire, the liberated elegance of the period’s eveningwear emerges: slip dresses in foiled velvet lamé and floral jacquard; drapery decorated with volumes that connote the evolution of ruffles; cocooning outerwear that evokes couture silhouettes layered atop long-line gowns. In the collection, as in the speakeasy, the two intermingle. Understood through artworks that depicted the era – the evocative dynamism of loosely Cubist watercolours and the sepia-toned monochrome of Surrealist photography – the collection’s palette appears tinted by time: organic cotton canvases and recycled nylons garment-dyed; quilted leathers aero sprayed. “It’s a translation of trying to imagine something from the past,” explains Davis. “In the original moment, it would have been vibrant – but now we are seeing it through the haze of history.” Punctuated by polished Gancini hardware, what results is an amalgam of past and present.
