Keyword(s):
This chapter traces the life and career of Italian shoe designer Salvatore Ferragamo. Ferragamo’s life and work is a compelling story that helps us understand several cultural contexts and threads that link different worlds and industries: shoes and cinema; Italy and America; cultural heritage and national identity. Ferragamo’s career took him from an early life of hardship in Italy to a career as shoemaker to the stars in Hollywood, where he worked on a number of iconic films, and finally, back to Italy, where he transformed the Italian and global fashion industries, while continuing to influence costume design in Hollywood.
