James Ferragamo, director of men’s and women’s shoes and grandson of Salvatore Ferragamo, said: “Paul is an amazing talent. When we first met, it was more about his vision for the company than the shoes themselves. He came up with the ‘high tech meets high craft’ concept. He is about creating shoes that have that legacy. He dresses women from the shoes up. Ferragamo started out as a shoe company, after all. Paul is also all about embracing all the small details that make a shoe timeless, and never compromises on fit and comfort. That is so Ferragamo.”
