Ferragamo Pays Tribute To Warhol
April 02, 20100 Comments
According to Women's Wear Daily (WWD)


WARHOL’S SHOES: Andy Warhol unwittingly customized a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo shoes before he died.

 The asymmetric lace-up, called Salvatore, is the only men’s style that Ferragamo personally created, and the designer often wore it, as well. Warhol often wore Salvatores in his studio, and after his death, the Ferragamo family bought a pair of the artist’s at auction. The upper was streaked and speckled with drops of colored paint. Now the company is issuing replicas of them as one of Ferragamo’s Creations, a range of limited edition, handcrafted pieces reviving the designer’s original models. The upper is in soft, full grain, dark brown calfskin aged in barrels. Only a handful of Ferragamo flagships will carry the special editions, which are arriving in the coming days and will be priced at $990.
