Style Forward

Salvatore Ferragamo's latest collection is all about super luxe casuals. The style statement is not to make one but be understated. Elegance transcends to our everyday wardrobe in stunning textures such as leather and exotic skins. Fascinating how the look of simplicity becomes special highlighted by accents of gilded touches as seen in sweaters, knits, wrap miniskirts, slim fitting leather pants, dresses, bags, accessories, knee-high peep-toe flat croc boots and sandals.

Since 2010, the haute brand's successful comeback marks high on the style radar. Style-setters are loving the resurgence of the renowned Italian fashion house under its current womenswear line designer
Massimiliano Giornetti. Under his helm, the brand is seemingly back on track and creating an impact that's definitely aspirational. In fashion, the the only way to go is only forward.

In the Philippines, Salvatore Ferragamo is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 4, Rustan’s Makati, Power Plant Mall, Rustan’s Tower, Rustan’s Cebu, Newport Mall, and Alabang Town Center.

Forecast

Shooting editorial samples can be quite exciting. You get the opportunity to check out the stuff even before they appear in glossies or make it to the stores-some even don't at all. As a fashion stylist, these collections are circulated by region and the ones that land on the pages of international mainstream magazines such as Vogue, Bazaar, Elle and the likes. Handling merchandise can be quite taxing due to the probability that they get damaged. But with these things, due to their "editorial" use, the stylist gets free hand in doing whatever creative execution. Recently shot an editorial for People Asia using these international brands from Stores Specialists Inc.(SSI) and showcasing their trend forecast for the summer season. Cheers!
