Maximilian Davis’ Pre-Spring 2027 collection redefines the Italian maison’s heritage through a more relaxed, artistic and contemporary vision.
Ferragamo’s new Pre-Spring 2027 collection confirms that Maximilian Davis has truly found his place at the helm of the historic Italian house. After several seasons reinterpreting the maison’s heritage, the British designer delivers a collection that radiates creative confidence, achieving one of his strongest balances yet between tradition and innovation.
Rather than breaking away from Ferragamo’s DNA, Davis continues to deepen it from a fresh perspective. While previous collections explored the glamour of Salvatore Ferragamo’s Hollywood clientele, this season he turns his attention to a more understated world: the artists, intellectuals and creative movements that shaped the cultural landscape of the 1920s.
The influences of Surrealism, Cubism and collage are translated into garments where fabrics, textures and proportions interact like elements within a work of art. The result is a more relaxed interpretation of sophistication, proving that contemporary luxury no longer relies on excess to make a lasting impression.
One of the collection’s most compelling aspects is the near-complete disappearance of traditional boundaries between menswear and womenswear. Tailoring typically associated with the masculine wardrobe blends naturally into womenswear, while fluid fabrics and lightweight constructions create an ongoing sense of movement and ease.
References to 1920s sportswear also play an important role throughout the collection. Lightweight jackets, technical nylon outerwear and leather trims coexist with flowing silks, graphic pleats and carefully balanced sheer fabrics. Davis succeeds in combining comfort with refinement without compromising the artisanal identity that has long defined the Italian fashion house.
Material experimentation once again takes centre stage. The designer plays with layered textures, contrasting colours and a variety of fabric finishes that recall the visual language of collage, the artistic technique that serves as the conceptual thread running through the entire collection.
The accessories continue that narrative. The iconic Hug bag returns in new combinations of smooth leather and suede, while elegantly streamlined silhouettes expand the brand’s offering without losing the understated sophistication that characterises Ferragamo. New interpretations of the Cara bag and the Soft style also stand out, with the latter presented in particularly luxurious finishes.
The menswear accessories embrace refined functionality through reversible leather totes, oversized carryalls and minimalist shoulder bags crafted from premium materials that reflect the maison’s long-standing commitment to exceptional craftsmanship.
Beyond the individual garments, the collection conveys a clear message: modern luxury is built on personality rather than extravagance. Instead of chasing short-lived trends, Ferragamo proposes a wardrobe designed to endure, where every piece integrates effortlessly into the personal style of the person wearing it.
With Pre-Spring 2027, Maximilian Davis demonstrates that he is no longer simply interpreting Ferragamo’s legacy from the outside. He has become an integral part of it, shaping a future that honours the house’s history while confidently embracing a more contemporary vision of Italian luxury.
