The inspiration behind Paul Andrew’s latest collection for Salvatore Ferragamo was sparked by a precious childhood memory. “It started with a photo on my mother’s mantelpiece of my brother and I on a summer holiday in Italy when we were kids in the 1980s,” Andrew revealed to me backstage. “I wanted to bring that feeling of fun and sun-drenched innocence into a modern context with a collection that is physically very light and knowingly bourgeois which also has tangible depth, substance, and care in its construction.”
