Men’s Spring /Summer 2013 T his season saw Salvatore Ferragamo Creative Director Massimiliano Giometti couple sporty looks with evident pop references. Colour was the story on the runway, as neon hues were found on all items from a long, light coat in curaçao blue, to a bright lemon yellow belt paired with an orange t-shirt. Like many designers this season, Giometti took the theme of sports as his central inspiration. Garments gave off a light, airy and seemingly comfortable quality while exhibiting tailoring in fine poplin and bonded cotton. In line with the brand’s women’s collection this season, subtle references to the city of Los Angeles were undeniably visible. The city exudes a casual kind of elegance and is pivotal to the brand’s history: Los Angeles was where Salvatore Ferragamo himself first set up shop to begin his trade. 1 8 4 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
