Ferrari FW26: A London Dialogue of Tailoring, Rebellion, and the Prancing Horse
PAGE
By PAGE Editor
The FW26 intro collection unfolds as an imagined dialogue between Ferrari and the city of London—where tradition and rebellion coexist, and where monarchs, music royalty, and cultural icons converge under the enduring symbolism of the Prancing Horse. Sparked by the imminent opening of Ferrari’s first flagship store, conceived as a true clothing officina, the collection signals a new chapter in the House’s fashion narrative, one in which these garments will finally come to life on opening day.
This conceptual exchange reinforces Ferrari’s ability to permeate the collective imagination, redefining the evolving wardrobe of the Ferrari man and woman through a balance of discipline and daring. Formal tailoring meets swinging irreverence, aristocratic classicism intersects with bold pragmatism, and references to Savile Row, Balmoral, and the Thin White Duke merge into a tripartite seasonal rhythm. The journey begins with lightweight linens and silks, deepens through technical cottons, denim, and leather, and culminates in flannels, Q-CYCLE® by Ferrari, corduroy, and shearling.
Sensory stimulation remains central to Ferrari’s design language. Constructed shapes and enveloping volumes are energized by a tactile, painterly palette of misted neutrals, purplish blues, deep rusty reds, burnt browns, greys, and blacks. Precision tailoring elongates the silhouette through pencil-skirt tailleurs, suits, and single-breasted coats defined by strong vertical lines. Sinuous dresses and refined twin sets suggest moments of composed elegance, while chunky sweaters with heavy fringes inject a note of wildness. Boilersuits and blousons reaffirm the Officina ethos, grounding luxury in function and craft.
Textures and patterns further enrich the narrative: Prince of Wales checks appear softened and blurred, twill is bonded with gingham, and crackled shearling surfaces seem almost glazed. Linear prints on shirtdresses and blouses echo the memory of Ferrari tools, while expert draping dissolves rigid lines, allowing garments to fluidly follow the body.
Accessories extend the collection’s duality. The La Ferrari Dino soft bag and The Ferrari GT soft bag are deconstructed yet exacting in design, paired with sharp shoes, boots, and loafers. Prancing Horse brooches offer a playful subversion of traditional bon ton, honoring heritage while reimagining how it is worn.
Altogether, the FW26 intro collection feels resolutely classic yet charged with movement—carrying the dynamism and purity that define Ferrari, and resonating equally with him and her.
