Certain may say that a Ferragamo exhibit at the Ferragamo museum is nothing out of the ordinary. Others will call it the most modern and avant-garde exhibit at the moment. The exhibit \u201cThe Amazing Shoemaker\u201d retraces Salvatore Ferragamo\u2019s epic story from his origins to his arrival to the United States. Enchanting and imaginary are the keywords for this exhibit where different artists have been able to let their creativity express itself and recreate the world of an 8 year old working as a shoemaker, who would go on to become the \u00fcberfamous Salvatore Ferragamo.<\/p>\n
Amidst the decor, a short film called \u201cWhite Shoe\u201d is projected, retracing the story of a child in quest of his craziest dream, marked by his attention to detail and his punctilious mind in constant search of perfection. In a marvelous animated film, you can watch the creation of a pair of white shoes he made for his sister\u2019s Confirmation. This pair reminds us of one of Ferragamo\u2019s emblematic pieces, the suede-strapped ballet flat he created for Audrey Hepburn in 1954.<\/p>\n
\u201cShoes are a woman\u2019s best friend\u201d: this could have been Salvatore Ferragamo\u2019s motto. A veritable visionary and creator of fairy tales for any woman enamored with shoes. This exhibit has been taking place at Florence\u2019s Salvatore Ferragamo Museum since April 19th and is a true invitation to plunge into the intimate sphere of \u201cThe Amazing Shoemaker\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
