Wardrobe-essential shoes as masterpieces of contemporary art.
For the Ferragamo Fall Winter 2017 Women’s collection, it’s all about new shapes, strong colors and a mix of fabrics. The same philosophy applies to shoes.
While staying true to the brand DNA, Paul Andrew, the new Salvatore Ferragamo women’s footwear design director, updates signature classics with a modern and mesmerizing twist.
Paul Andrew captures Ferragamo’s strong artisanal tradition & infuses it with contemporary design elements and high technology, creating both modern and beautiful shoes. This season’s vara bow heel sees a revision with a mini-heel and fringed details for a modern twist. Inspired by a classic Ferragamo design, the lightweight flower heel is modernized with a galvanized metallic finish.

Salvatore Ferragamo returned to Italy in 1927 after twelve years in the United States. In 2017, to mark the ninetieth anniversary of his homecoming, the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo presents an exhibition offering an overview of the 1920s, a decade now recognized as an authentic forge of open-minded ideas and experimentation free of ideological constraints and prejudices.
Ferragamo chose to settle in Florence in virtue of its acknowledged centrality in the geography of Italian taste and style at a time in which the word “return” was especially meaningful: the return to order in the arts, the return to professional skill and to the great national traditio
n. Developed in chapters like a coming-of-age story, the exhibition focuses precisely on this trend in the culture of the period.
