Salvatore Ferragamo is a fashion icon. Becoming one is no easy task. It takes a forward thinking & creative mind that can design within the box, but chooses to go beyond expectations. It takes impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail to create a design that is not only compelling in the development stages – but when completed, it immediately grabs the attention of your audience. And of course, it must be wearable.

Ferragamo’s designs grab the attention of his audience. His expertise in shoe repair and design for Hollywood stars propelled him into the upper echelon of high fashion. With this strong foundation, it was inevitable that the Ferragamo design house would venture into handbags, clothing, eyewear and every other aspect of fashion design. In celebration of his work and achievements, The Shanghai Museum of Contemporary Art is Salvatore Ferragamo: Evolving Legend 1928 – 2008 from March 30 to May 7. Learn the history of legendary fashion icon Salvatore Ferragamo, the design house he built and a view hundreds of his original pieces.
