Salvatore Ferragamo, with six different widths
for each available length shoe, has been a market leader in shoe
industry for more than seventy years, offering approximately 100 sizes
for each model and thus achieving absolute precision in custom-made
footwear. In 1998, he introduced a fragrance for men and women called
"Salvatore Ferragamo".
Salvatore Ferragamo was born into a large
family of fourteen children in Bonito, Italy. At the young age of nine,
he became interested in the art of shoemaking and his reluctant father
allowed him to apprentice in Naples.
When Ferragamo was 14, he
immigrated via boat to America along with many of his fellow Italian
immigrants. Ferragamo soon became famous in Hollywood, partly due to
the Roman sandals that he designed for Cecil de Mille movies. His shoes
were not only stylish and imaginative, but they were extremely popular
for their comfort.
His wife and children took over the
business in 1960 when Ferragamo died at a young age, and the family has
since introduced ready-to-wear lines. |
