July 31, 2024

Discover the Ferragamo 2024 advertising campaign photographed by Juergen Teller amidst the beauty of Florence, Italy.

“There is a sense of connection to the directness of his work,” explains Maximilian Davis. “During the time we’re in, that’s what people are looking for – and I am interested in seeing real people in Florence, and how they wear Ferragamo.”

The campaign is seen as a collective experience where friends and family are invited to discover Ferragamo’s city of birth on a journey together, exploring Florence’s hidden gems. Raquel Zimmermann is the quintessential Renaissance beauty, a modern-day muse to Maximilian Davis much like a Botticellian Venus. Peter Saville a brand friend and collaborator, responsible for the re-design of the Ferragamo logo. Maia embodies the qualities and virtues of the archetypal Ferragamo woman: boldness, cultural eagerness, a sense of ease and timeless beauty. Lina, Tim and Yasmine are recognizable Ferragamo faces season after season. It is a collective that extends beyond fashion’s ordinary contexts, and who directly relate to the multi-generational nature of the brand.

In the campaign, locations are an important part of the narrative. The setting becomes protagonist, with each location photographed embodying an atmosphere where the Ferragamo man and woman move at ease on a daily basis. The intentional mapping of these locations define the spirit of the collection, giving away clues onto the personality of the characters and the brand’s ethos. The key protagonist is Palazzo Spini Feroni, a point of reference for all the other locations, as the Ferragamo headquarters in Florence.
