Ferragamo Turns 1940s Workwear Into a Sensual Spring 2027 Collection

Maximilian Davis’s Spring lineup fuses archival Ferragamo codes with fetish-tinged materials to signal a more assertive commercial and creative direction.

Overview

  • Ferragamo presented its Spring 2027 ready-to-wear at Milan’s Triennale on Saturday, Sept. 26, 2026, with a show that reworked 1940s workwear silhouettes into modern shapes.
  • Davis cited period uniforms and the photographer Lee Miller’s time in Egypt as inspirations, which surfaced as safari jackets, nurse- and uniform-like details, and desert-hued palettes.
  • The collection emphasized tactile contrasts—latex, translucent rubber, sheer layers and tough leathers—that produced a deliberately sensual, fetish-tinged mood while leaving room for wearability.
  • Classic Ferragamo signifiers anchored the looks, including statement leather belts and Gancini clasps, alongside new footwear variations such as updated F-wedge designs and a reworked Vara pump.
  • Critics flagged the show as a milestone in Davis’s six-plus-year tenure, noting strong menswear, a memorable blue-latex trench that closed the show, and a clearer commercial direction that could boost shoes and ready-to-wear sales.
