Salvatore Ferragamo was known to fashion shoes for some of the most powerful and richest women in the world. He made shoes for the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Eva Peron, and Maharani of Cooch Behar. Ferragamo is remembered as a visionary to his trade, creating designs that sometimes were elegant and traditional, as well as at times conspicuously bizarre. Many footwear designers throughout the years have been inspired by the work of this shoe designing pioneer.
