Note du spécialiste

Salvatore Ferragamo was known as 'the shoemaker to the stars' and created several shoes for Audrey Hepburn at the start of her career in the 1950s. After Audrey chose Ferragamo's black suede slip-on loafers for her dance scene in Funny Face, they soon became a trend among the New York fashion set. In An Elegant Spirit, Sean Hepburn Ferrer tells us how important shoes were to Audrey: They were at the foundation of her ethic of quality. If you have good shoes… you can afford to wear simple clothes.
