There’s nothing sexier than wearing vibrant colors in the fall, layered with luxurious fabrics and complimentary or monochromatic colors. Thus is the philosophy of the latest Salvatore Ferragamo collection for women and men, an autumn somewhere in the city, a walk in the park, and deep reds, dark blues and purple.

Mixing unusual fabrics (such as jackets made out of material typically used to make bicycle seats) with the house’s signature minimalist architectural designs and out-of-this-world monochromatic colors that somehow make the outfits come to life as you walk in them. Zucchelli worthily won the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) award for best menswear designer in 2009.
