“A Crocodile’s Whisper: Lori Harvey’s Ferragamo Front Row Finesse”
In a dazzling display of sartorial splendor, the ever-enigmatic Lori Harvey graced Ferragamo’s spring 2025 show in Milan yesterday, proving once again why she’s the reigning queen of front row fashion. The model and entrepreneur, known for her impeccable taste and trend-setting prowess, arrived in an ensemble that was nothing short of a modern-day fairytale, with a twist of reptilian chic.
Harvey, a fixture in the fashion world’s most coveted circles, donned a pair of tan heels that whispered luxury with every step. The shoes, undoubtedly a Ferragamo creation, were a masterclass in understated opulence. Featuring glossy, crocodile-embossed uppers, these neutral beauties were far from ordinary. The almond-shaped toes and delicate ankle straps wound their way around Harvey’s ankles like ivy on a Tuscan villa, secured by adjustable buckle closures that spoke of both form and function.
But it was the heels that truly captured the imagination. Standing at a modest 1 to 2 inches, these kitten heel-inspired stilettos were a refreshing departure from the towering platforms that have dominated recent seasons. In choosing comfort without sacrificing style, Harvey made a bold statement: fashion need not be painful to be powerful.
Complementing her footwear, Harvey embraced the monochromatic moment in a tan midi-length dress that was equal parts demure and daring. The strappy style, crafted from a revolutionary PVC-esque sheer leather, clung to her silhouette like a second skin. The bodice, adorned with tufts of gold feathers, created a textural juxtaposition that was both striking and subtle – a hallmark of Ferragamo’s innovative approach to luxury.
Accessories, as any fashion aficionado knows, can make or break an ensemble. In Harvey’s case, they only served to enhance her already flawless look. Clutched beneath her arm was a burgundy Ferragamo bag, its sequins catching the light and the eyes of every photographer in attendance. The glossy, sheer material mirrored her dress, creating a cohesive narrative throughout her outfit. Gold hardware on the clutch found its echo in Harvey’s circular gold earrings, a final touch of gilded perfection.
Her beauty look was equally refined. Dark tresses were slicked back with precision, allowing her facial features to take center stage. A smoky eye in shades of brown and a perfectly lined lip in a complementary hue completed the look, proving that sometimes, the most impactful statements are made in whispers rather than shouts.
Credit for this masterpiece of styling goes to Jill Jacobs, the visionary behind the looks of stars like Demi Lovato and Rosalía. Jacobs, who began working with Harvey in 2023, has clearly found her muse in the young socialite, creating looks that are both of-the-moment and timeless.
The synergy between Harvey and Ferragamo was palpable as she posed backstage with the brand’s creative director, Maximilian Davis. Davis, appointed in 2022, has breathed new life into the storied Italian house, and Harvey’s presence at the show was a testament to the brand’s enduring appeal to fashion’s new guard.
As the fashion world continues to evolve, one thing remains certain: wherever Lori Harvey treads, in her crocodile-embossed kitten heels, the industry will follow, watching with bated breath to see what sartorial story she’ll tell next.
