If meticulous tailoring and hushed sexuality once set Maximilian apart from his peers, Ferragamo has given the designer the means to make these accents his calling card. Rectangular shift dresses were held up by cloaking hoods, tailored jackets came with regal sash details, playsuits had been sliced at the sternum to reveal a slither of skin, while single-breasted blazers were reimagined as cocktail dresses, and tiny little shorts were paired with matching leather jackets. It’s far too early to tell of the impact Maximilian will have on Ferragamo – and fashion at large – but judging by the whoops and hollers that crashed through the arcades at his bow, there’s a swarm of fans eagerly waiting in the wings.
