Among the exhibits they will also find accessories worn by Marylin Monroe and Lady Diana. The creations are illustrated with videos and in-depth sheets in Italian or English.

The archive is located in the province of Florence in the Salvatore Ferragamo headquarters and, in addition to being the testimony of his devoted work, it was created in memory of the eldest daughter Fiamma, who was creative director of the brand. Ferragamo’s work marked the history of 20th century footwear, he was a visionary artist, “the shoemaker of the stars” as he was called in Hollywood during the 1920s, and when he settled in Florence in the post-war era, the his avant-garde work inspired many artists of the time. The designer himself was the archivist of his works, as he had the habit of continuously collecting testimonies of his creations, including illustrations, newspaper clippings and photographs.
