Willie Cole × Ferragamo Fall/Winter 2026


May 2026 | Milan, Italy

Willie Cole was featured in a campaign for Italian luxury fashion house Ferragamo, under the creative direction of Maximilian Davis, alongside an international cast of models, including Anok Yai.

Photographed in Milan in May 2026, the campaign prominently featured Cole and his sculptural chair, Made in the Philippines (1992), from the Museum Voorlindencollection in the Netherlands.

Bringing together the artist, his work, and contemporary fashion, the campaign explored the intersection of art, design, and cultural expression. Cole’s distinctive approach to transforming everyday objects into works of art complemented Davis’s creative vision for Ferragamo, creating a dialogue between artistic innovation, craftsmanship, and fashion.

The collaboration represents another significant moment in Cole’s career, extending the visibility of his artistic practice to an international fashion audience while celebrating the enduring influence of contemporary art on visual culture.
