Brief bio:

Salvatore Ferragamo (June 5, 1898 – August 7, 1960) was a Florentine and Italian shoe designer. He worked with many Hollywood stars in the 1920s, before returning to Italy to found the eponymous company making unique hand-made footwear. His scientific and creative approach to shoes spawned many innovations such as the wedge heel and cage heel. Film stars and celebrities continue to patronize his company, which has evolved into a luxury goods empire spanning the world. He was born in 1898 in Bonito, near Avellino, the eleventh of 14 children.

His stores are sprinkled like hundreds and thousands on the fairy bread that is Euopre, on the party table that is the world. His wife is now the honourary 'chair person' and is herself responsible for some of the feats of fashion and style the company has come to be known for. One thing is for sure, since his passing in 1960, the red "Salvatore Ferragamo" signature logo has been planted on some of the most uniquely Italian articles that breathe a breath of light into the contemporarily classic image Ferragamo rejoices in.
