Ferrari launches new fashion collection to enhance 'speed'

On Feb 27, Ferrari presented its fall/winter 2022-23 collection, with a mixed women's and men's runway as part of the Milan Fashion Week. The collection was designed by the brand's creative director Rocco Iannone, who wants to tell "the story of speed", a brand tagline, and an expression of the innovation required due to the ongoing changes in society past-pandemic.

In the new collection, jackets and coats are cut and sewn with tailoring techniques, showing the inside stitches on the outside. The clothes have contoured shoulders that are not overly padded, defined by stitching and flat-felled seams. The skirts are pencil-shaped, mostly decorated with adjustable metal-zippered slits, which give a flexible effect. The little black dress is made of new material like leather treated with finishes that affects the shape, and gives volume toward the hem. Trousers are designed with pleats in a tapered style to fit different occasions no matter formal or casual. Long coats in cashmere, leather and shearling feature zip details, bomber jackets and tweed tops are made with layers of nylon, leather and cotton yarn.

Also, the collection includes soft loose-fitting shirts, leather puffer jackets, hooded sweatshirts and silk skirts.

Some natural fabrics such as wool, cashmere, cotton drill, silk and leather derived from food waste, have been used in the collection after technological treatment: leather is thermoformed; cotton drill is enriched with a waterproof technical fiber; brass is galvanized; and nylon becomes reflective.
