By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

For the occasion, the talented actress, known for her roles in acclaimed films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Memoirs of a Geisha, wore a piece from the Autumn-Winter 2011 collection designed by Creative Director Massimiliano Giornetti, confirming the brand’s special relationship with the star.

A long-time admirer of Ferragamo designs, Zhang Ziyi has already collaborated with the Italian luxury brand in the past, for important international events like the Cannes Film Festival. Together with Tony Leung, she celebrated with Ferruccio Ferragamo the opening ceremony of the Florentine brand’s 80th Anniversary exhibition in Shanghai in 2008.

Moreover, Zhang Ziyi has been the first Asian celebrity, as a special guest of the Ferragamo family, to be honored to participate to the shoe last rite and the creation of a made-to-measure shoe.

The celebrated Florentine brand believes Zhang Ziyi exudes the timeless elegance of Ferragamo creations and the modern sophistication of Hollywood’s stars in the Golden Age.
