2 0 0 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I Salvatore Ferragamo Spring/Summer 2016Menswear M assimiliano Giornetti’s spring/summer 2016 collection for Salvatore Ferragamo is based on a concept of clashing rhythms. This season’s style is centred on refined imbalance and designed with quirky, contrasting combinations. Sharp graphics and luxurious materials compliment abstract geometrics and organic textures, merging nonchalance and aplomb and resulting in a perfectly balanced eclectic collection. Well-cut but relaxed lines underscore the dynamic surfaces enhanced by stripes, inserts and pinstripes. The result is a wardrobe conceived according to purposely- misaligned precision, featuring high-waist trousers with a razor- sharp crease, short jackets and mackintoshes with a precise profile. Wool suits with off-colour pinstripes are enhanced by bold stitching, and seersucker or cotton shirts carry broad stripes. Broken stripes on compact sweaters alternate leather inserts and raffia embroidery while opposing geometric lines lend to exotic materials. The convergence of eclectic personalities continues to be expressed throughout, including the whimsical appearance of cacti and monkeys on patches and embroidery. It is a collection that emphasises an enlightened carefree attitude. The soft, mellow colour palette blends with black, brown
