Milan Fashion Week: Salvatore Ferragamo spring summer 2026 collection
For the Spring-Summer 2026 collection, Maximilian Davis revisits the 1920s, reinterpreting the era's eclecticism through his precise aesthetic. The decade also marked the birth of Ferragamo, which piques Davis's interest.
Inspired by a 1925 photo of silent film star Lola Todd wrapped in leopard print found in the archives, Davis explored the exotic prints and textures of the Jazz Age's "Africana" movement. "I wanted to understand how certain materials, prints, and fabrics were imported to America and Europe from Africa and the Caribbean and became status symbols," Davis reflects. Those same elements of the Roaring Twenties are now sublimated in animal prints on devoré silk satin, plongé leather jewelry, and fringe decorations.
The collection also emphasizes the era's emancipated elegance, featuring speakeasy suits, straight-cut petticoats with openwork lace inserts, and low-waisted dresses with plunging back necklines. "It was a time when women were creating a new femininity—a celebration of freedom and a reappropriation of self," Davis explains. "A period when people were creating their own spaces, rebelling against norms, and translating that spirit into clothing."
The zoot suit style of the Harlem Renaissance and languid dandyism color the men's wardrobe, where ties are transformed into sashes that cinch tuxedo waists or are incorporated into patchwork suits.
