Less than a week after presenting his third collection as Ferragamo’s creative director in Milan this past September, Maximilian Davis was at ease.
The clothes — a luxurious combination of asymmetrical dresses and Italian tailoring — had been well received.
As he spoke, quietly but with confidence, he gestured gently with his hands, like a conductor keeping an unhurried tempo.
But despite the pressure to update a storied house for a new era, Davis, who now lives in Milan, has stayed true to his community.
“It’s something that my mother could wear, but also my sisters.”
