Salvatore Ferragamo and the silver screen – an enduring liaison.
The Maison has joined forces with Disney to create the shoes for Lady Tremaine for the highly anticipated film Cinderella.
Ferragamo has once again proven its strong ties with Hollywood: the special relationship established by Salvatore Ferragamo himself earned him the sobriquet “Shoemaker of the stars”.
The latest example is a partnership with Disney for its forthcoming live-action featureCinderella, inspired by the classic fairy tale. The film brings to life the timeless images from the studio’s 1950 animated masterpiece in a visually-dazzling spectacle for a whole new generation.
The brand has been chosen to work with Sandy Powell to create the shoes for Cinderella’s stepmother Lady Tremaine, played by Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett.
“It was a great privilege,” explains costume-designer Sandy Powell, “to collaborate with the legendary Ferragamo on the shoes and boots for Cate Blanchett who was playing Lady Tremaine (the wicked stepmother) in Cinderella. It was exciting and inspiring to see my designs come to life with such exquisite craftsmanship.”
Sandy Powell and Salvatore Ferragamo’s creative director Massimiliano Giornetti teamed up to create pumps, lace-up shoes and boots in a host of different colours and materials. All were fashioned with painstaking attention to detail, reflecting Ferragamo’s history of excellence in craftsmanship – a unique approach in which the company’s tradition is combined with modern style.
In the Philippines, Salvatore Ferragamo is exclusively distributed by SSI Group, Inc. and is located at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Greenbelt 4, Power Plant Mall, Newport Mall and Alabang Town Center. Visit www.ssilife.com.ph for more information.
