Italian luxury fashion house Salvatore Ferragamo recently celebrated the debut of an impressive design concept by renowned architect William Sofield with the reopening of the Beverly Hills flagship on Rodeo Drive. The unveiling of the new concept store, inspired by Salvatore’s years of innovation in California, marked a return to Hollywood, 100 years in the making.

As a tribute to the consummate entertainer, guests enjoyed cocktails inspired by Ferragamo’s original recipes in this newly re-imagined art deco environment. A showcase of Ferragamo’s original cinematic shoe designs, on loan from the Museo Salvatore Ferragamo, were on display for a limited engagement.
The store opening also signaled the launch of 100 Years 100 Days, a digital platform celebrating the 100-year parallel stories of both Salvatore Ferragamo and Hollywood, offering daily posting of exclusive events, films, features, collaborations and shoppable experiences – over a 100-day period – at icons.ferragamo.com.
