The eight-piece whimsical collection is inspired by birds and wildlife as showcased on iconic, Italian-made silk scarves, and ‘Ars’ shoes ~ originally designed by Mr. Ferragamo in the ‘50s ~ to create an exclusive collection that includes: necklaces, rings, earrings, and bracelets. Daniela Villegas for Salvatore Ferragamo capsule emphasises the Italian brand’s legacy of mentoring and investment in emerging creative talents, through the Fondazione Ferragamo.

 

 

Ferragamo Unveils Jewellery Line by Daniela Villegas: Ferragamo’s jewellery capsule, handcrafted by master Italian goldsmiths, uses an amalgamation of sterling silver, gemstones ~ green Topaz and blue-violet Amethyst ~ gold, and diamonds, to showcase the Italian spirit, as well the hallmarks of Ferragamo. To provide a deeper perspective, Ferragamo’s signature Gancio emblem is seen on pieces with the birdcage motif. Likewise, the parakeets/parrots/birds of paradise symbolise abundance and exploration through a sense of mischief and spunk!
