Salvatore Ferragamo Evolving Legend Book To Hit Shelves This Month
This gorgeous coffee table book on the life, career, and legacy of Salvatore Ferragamo is not to be missed--good thing is, Amazon takes pre-orders. We caught a glimpse of the press copy of this book which spans the years 1928-2008 and covers all of the achievements of this Italian family-run company. The Ferragamo of today boasts stunning ready to wear collections and a fully-loaded range of accessories but it all started, of course, with the company's namesake, whose scientific and creative mind invented what is today known as the cage heel and the wedge heel.

Drawing On Her Past's Present
Cristina Ortiz is in her second season with Salvatore Ferragamo and we can only imagine the pressure she must feel to perform for the Florentine luxury brand’s women’s ready-to-wear collection, particularly given just how often designers are playing musical creative director these days. In fact, we are getting the distinct feeling that Ortiz has been thinking a lot about other design houses recently. Ferragamo is in the end best know for their shoes (the brand's name sake invented both the wedge and the cage heel) and has not had the same success transcending that accessory focused past.
Which is why we have to make note of the fact that Ortiz, previously the chief designer at Lanvin, where Alber Elbaz succeeded her, seems to be making use of quite a few of her past's present collection. In fact voluminous and colorful is exactly how we would describe Ortiz's Spring 2009 Salvatore Ferragamo with flowing hot pink, orange, and red gowns.
