Salvatore Ferragamo Spring/Summer 2017 collection

Salvatore Ferragamo presented its Spring/Summer 2017 collection during Milano Fashion Week Mens. The latest offering, the first without creative director Massimiliano Giornettito, who exited last season, was envisioned by Ferragamo’s design team and offered travel-wear elements such as fanny packs, oversized cargo pockets on suits and seriously industrial grade-looking shoes.

There was everything from belted, short-sleeved leisure suits and blousons to variations on safari and shirt jackets — all in typical tailoring fabrics, some a tad fussy. In general, these alternatives to the two-button standard looked better over trimmer trousers than billowing, lustrous Eighties pants.

Suits were soft and comfortable, with a fresh take on tailoring and with functional, almost workwear-inspired proportions.
