Perhaps many people have wondered, in the future world, what will we wear? The Ferragamo Winter 2021 collection may have the answer.
Creative Director Paul Andrew uses classic sci-fi films such as Gattaca and The Matrix as inspiration to combine futuristic scenes with contemporary fashion.
In Ferragamo's virtual short film, high-rise buildings with a sense of geometric lines seem to recreate the future world of Metropolis.
Milan's famous Besana building has been "transformed" into the Ferragamo Building, with the oversized Gancini logo at the entrance.
Besana's circular LED light tube perfectly restores the classic scene in Gattaca - a circular tunnel to the future.
Paul Andrew, creative director of the brand, said: "With this collection, we will break the limitations of categories, colour schemes or dogmatism, and design futuristic pieces."
The stereotype of the uniform in the 21st century is subverted here, Paul Andrew draws inspiration from the military, sports, competitive, diving and other industries, boldly integrates and carefully adjusts a variety of tailoring versions, and the entire series is full of pioneering artistic flavor.
Almost all the colors associated with the sense of technology and the sense of the future are perfectly integrated into the collection, and continue Ferragamo's always high aesthetic.
Blue, for example, which is said to represent the exclusive color of the technological era, is appearing in new, tailored uniforms.
Green, commonly used in the field of biotechnology and also the main color of The Matrix, is "edited" onto various coats, like genetic programs in science fiction films.
And a bright orange color reminiscent of the astronaut's uniform in "The Martian."
Ferragamo creates a positive, youthful atmosphere through a large number of highly concentrated color blocks to convey hope and optimism for the future, dedicated to "all those who must move forward".
Highly saturated colors are difficult to pull off, and Paul Andrew has cleverly incorporated them into fine fabrics such as calfskin, mohair, and knitting to enhance texture and make them more wearable.
Instead of carefully tailored caped coats and skirts, Ferragamo used the transparent materials often seen in science fiction movies.
Models wore metal chokers similar to those in Cloud Atlas, and silver dresses were made lighter by the hollowed-out design.
This season, Ferragamo also used a lot of fringe embellishments, comfortable and playful.
In terms of accessories, the popular Trifolio handbag has been launched in the Nano version, a small one, very compact.
For large handbags, there are also dressy Studio handbags and futuristic Gancini embossed bags to choose from.
Space motorcycle boots and diving socks sneakers almost run through the whole show, with strong color contrast and geometric lines matching, very modern.
Ferragamo's signature F wedge heels, also presented in a galvanized finish version, are quite eye-catching.
Paul Andrew said: "In the fashion industry, people often miss the past. This season, I wanted to subvert that conventional thinking and create fashion pieces that look timeless from the future."
In Ferragamo's design, this foresight has always been in the DNA of the brand.
For example, the aforementioned F wedge heels, invented by Salvatore Ferragamo more than 70 years ago, these shoes are called "Invisible", made of transparent fishing line to create an "invisible" effect, with F wedge heels. This also made him the first shoe designer to win the Naiman Marcus Award, known as the "Oscar of the fashion industry".
In Paul Andrew's opinion, this design is still very futuristic and an eternal classic until now. The innovative and improved F-heel shoes have also appeared in his designs many times.
