Salvatore Ferragamo

Salvatore Ferragamo arrived in America with nothing and left as the shoemaker to the stars, crafting shoes for Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe from his Florence atelier. His technical innovations — the wedge heel, the cage heel, the shell sole — changed the course of footwear history, while his commitment to fitting the foot rather than fighting it made his shoes the most comfortable in the world. Today the Ferragamo house has expanded into ready-to-wear, accessories, and fragrances, all carrying that same belief that beauty and craft should never be in conflict. The Florentine roots and the Hollywood glamour remain part of every piece.
