There’s a sinister side of me that thinks the saddlebag-like curves added to the fashions in the Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2010 ready-to-wear collection are meant to tease women with fuller figures. After all, the pin-thin models ambling down the Milan Fashion Week catwalks surely don’t have saddlebags of their own.
These bulbous side panels featured quite prominently in the Salvatore Ferragamo Spring 2010 ready-to-wear collection; in the gallery above, you’ll see them on pants, capris, skirts, and dresses alike.
