Inside the crisp, white space of the Officina – “a futuristic laboratory where the absence of distraction directs all attention to the making” –, Ferrari’s SS26 show unfolded with clarity and control. Creative director Rocco Iannone offered a lesson in reduction – design stripped back to its essentials, where every cut and fabric choice felt deliberate and refined.
The collection centred on clean vertical silhouettes and soft structure. Long, fluid dresses, loose tailoring, silk shirts and relaxed cargo trousers moved with quiet ease. Fabrics carried the weight: silk canvas, tussah silk, cashmere gauze and Nappa leather in a palette of butter white, rust and signature Ferrari red. Each textile held its own, rich in texture and finish.
Bolder moments arrived through sponged leathers, acid-washed denim and airbrushed knits, adding tension without disrupting the rhythm. Accessories kept close to the core idea – square-toed driving shoes, pumps wrapped in leather cord, soft-sculpted bags and jewellery shaped like bolts, padlocks and even work tools.
The show favoured clarity over complexity. Every look felt considered, edited and finished without excess. Ferrari’s SS26 was a confident step forward – quietly strong, grounded in material and sharp in its intention.
