Shoemaker To The Stars – Salvatore Ferragamo

Posted on 21st September 2009 by Knox in Fashion People - Tags: , , ,

Salvatore Ferragamo was a visionary in the field of shoes, from a young age he knew his calling was shoes and he was right.  He took his passion for shoes and shared it with the world, his creations were unique and smart.

Salvatore Ferragamo was born on June 5 1898 to an Italian family.  He was the 11th child of 14.  Ferragamo made his first pair of shoes at the age of nine for his sister.  He died in 1960 at the age of 62.

Ferragamo studied shoe making in Naples, and soon after started a small business out of his parents’ home.  He moved to Boston to work in a boot factory with his brother in 1914.  Ferragamo convinced his brother to move to Hollywood with him where they established a shoe repair shop that also created made-to-measure shoes.  This repair shop quickly became the hottest spot to buy shoes among celebrities of that time, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland.  He became known as the “Shoemaker to the Stars.” Ferragamo was confused at why his shoes were attractive to the eye but were a burden to the foot, he decided to do something about that and he studied Anatomy at University of Southern California.  After thirteen successful years in the states hew decides to move back to Italy.  There he started working on new designs, and making shoes for some very powerful women, such as Eva Peron and Princess Diana.  During The Great Depression he was forced to file for bankruptcy, but came back only 5 years later.  During the 50’s he increased his workers to 700 specialists making over 350 shoes a day.  After he died he left the business to his family, his wife and his six children.  Now the company Salvatore Ferragamo sells shoes and accessories as well as ready-to-wear clothing.

Cage Heel

He is most famous for his several creations in the shoe industry, the cage heel, the wedge heel and other forms of platform shoes.  Also he created the famous “Ruby Slippers” that were worn by Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz

Ruby Slippers

Salvatore Ferragamo’s biggest influence is in the fashion industry is his contribution to the world of shoes.  He wasn’t afraid to push the barrier to almost weird and yet still created some of the most simple and elegant shoes as well.  He used bold colors and made them look amazing.  He is a great influence on shoemakers everywhere.
