Italian Fashion Watch

Italian brand Salvatore Ferragamo celebrated its 80th anniversary in the fashion industry with a star-studded party in Shanghai. Head designer for Ferragamo’s menswear, Massimiliano Giornetti, and creative director of women’s wear, Cristina Ortiz, treated guests to an 80 minute fashion show, showcasing 60 different looks.

The late Salvatore Ferragamo founded the Salvatore Ferragamo Italia S.p.A. company in 1927, having designed for many icons including Marilyn Monroe and Eva Peron, and current celebrities such as actress Jessica Biel and model Irina Lazareanu.

Recently blogs and online news sources went mad about a possible teaming between Roberto Cavalli and Amy Whinehouse. This deal would offer Amy an endless line of Cavalli’s outfits for free as well as a sum of money, with the condition that she wears them at every public appearance.

This kind of deal is common among fashion and clothing companies who select some of the most popular artists or sportsmen and offer them lucrative deals, as a great way to reach a desired audience.

It seems that Roberto Cavalli’s good friend, Victoria Beckham, is the one who proposed him to consider Amy Whinehouse in the first place.

The rumor was not yet confirmed, but if it is true, we should see Amy wearing high fashion dresses and accessories from one of the world most important fashion designer pretty soon.
