Anniversary party

31/03/2008



Fashion house Ferragamo has celebrated its eightieth anniversary by hosting a lavish party in Shanghai.

The festivities lasted an entire weekend with the launch of a new exhibition at the city’s Museum of Contemporary Art showing the developments in fashion Ferragamo has pioneered since 1928.

There was also a fashion show and a VIP cocktail party.

“This might be our eightieth anniversary, but the fashion world has known the Ferragamo name for nearly a century,” said Wanda Ferragamo, wife of founder and design legend Salvatore, who died in 1960. “This event is especially important to us because it is the first time that we are presenting a retrospective, not on Salvatore the man, but on the business he founded: its identity, innovations and values.”
