Milan Fashion Week 2021: Salvatore Ferragamo Leaps Into A Futuristic, Sci-Fi World

Salvatore Ferragamo presents a ‘Future Positive’ co-ed collection that draws inspiration from how sci-fi classics, such as Gattaca, Until The End Of The World, and The Matrix, predicted their future and our present. Creative director, Paul Andrew reimagines the templates and tailoring from militaria, athletics and scuba uniforms. Neon colours, chainmail dresses and abstract camouflage, the forward-thinking concept of this collection does not stop at design. It also incorporates modern values of sustainability by avoiding virgin material production and using upcycled and recycled material.
