The front row at Ferragamo delivered a welcome shot of front-row starriness today, in the form of a sexy suited Michael Fassbender, flanked by Virginie Ledoyen and Ashley Greene. Theyre skipping the glamour of the Oscars red carpet for a more sombre white carpeted catwalk at Ferragamo, and we were glad for it. But while the front row was showy, Massimiliano Giornettis AW13 collection for the label was anything but; a chic and understated parade of quality, forever pieces that wont move mountains but will probably last as long as them. The set for the show was a simple light projection of bare wintry branches, and the colour palette reflected this midnight blue, black, steely grey. The variation came once again in the luxurious fabrications that ponyskin again, which is ubiquitous on this seasons runways, together with a rich brushed wool, beautifully stiff, thick leather, and injections of a techy mesh fabric here and there. There was a distinct 60s feel to the show, with mini pinafores layered over polo necks and retro-spacey shifts paired with white go-go boots. Neat little wristlet bags a kind of zipped up pencil-case shape were the statement bag of the season, in everything from croc-embossed white leather to iridescent silver leather. It was a serene show, unpretentious and un-challenging. But who needs to be challenging when they still look that good at the ripe old age of 81?
