Maximilian Davis has done a lot to sharpen Ferragamo’s modern identity since his debut, but this latest outing felt a little out of sync. Returning to the same Milanese courtyard where he first showed three years ago, Davis looked to the 1920s for inspiration, drawing from the Jazz Age, Josephine Baker, Harlem speakeasies, and silent film muses in leopard print. The craftsmanship was undeniable—liquid silks, intricate lace, and clever tailoring details all carried his signature polish—but the overall vision didn’t quite come together.

There were strong moments, like flapper dresses reimagined in scalloped satin and sheer lace, and deconstructed zoot suit tailoring that balanced ease with drama. Animal prints appeared in softer, more abstract ways, while fringe swung from unexpected places, giving nods to the decade without feeling too costume-like. Accessories, especially satin mules and cage-like pumps drawn from Ferragamo’s archives, added to the collection’s historical through-line.

Still, despite the references and archival nods, the collection felt caught between past and present. The mood was sultry, lounge-like, and technically accomplished, but the storytelling lacked the clarity and confidence that marked Davis’s earlier Ferragamo work.
