Description: What a fantastic find for the serious Collector or the lover of shoes. A wonderful gift idea. As a side note, Ferragamo has recently named a new purse after Fiamma. The inscription on the ffep., is from Fiamma. The note using her business cards is stored in a small envelope at the front pastedown. We truly wish we knew who, the “Ms Davis” she has inscribed the book to. The inscription and notes should be researched. Fiamma was born on September 3, 1941, the eldest daughter of Salvatore and Wanda Ferragamo. She undertook classical studies but stopped after two years, invited by her father to join him in the company. She was 16 when she started working with him, entering the world of footwear design and production. Looking at his father's work, she assimilated fundamental techniques. Salvatore was attentive to the anatomy of the foot, to which the shoe had to respond, and not just to the design. He personally supervised the creation of the prototypes and hand-shaped the wooden lasts on which to build the models. This know-how impressed very much the young Fiamma, fueling her curiosity and passion for footwear.When Ferragamo died, Fiamma was 19 years old. She was the only one in the family to have worked alongside her father and so she supported her mother in the reorganization of the activities, becoming an ambassador of the Ferragamo style, together with her sister Giovanna who designed clothing. In an era in which female managers were not a common thing, Fiamma embodies a unique and personal model thanks to her enthusiastic and demanding nature, her great determination and strong creativity - qualities inherited from her parents. On February 9, 1967 in the Grand Ballroom of the Sheraton-Dallas Hotel, in Dallas (USA), Fiamma received the Neiman Marcus Award, the famous Oscar of fashion bestowed to his father twenty years earlier, with the motivation of having "brought a new dimension to the name Ferragamo thanks to the originality and freshness of its design". Together with her other designer received the award: Lydia of Rome, Venturini of Lucca and Emilio Pucci on behalf of all the Florentine artisans damaged by the Florence flood in 1966. The prestigious magazine Life dedicated one of her covers to Fiamma, she was 24-year-old.The Neiman Marcus is just the first of a long list of awards and honors bestowed on Fiamma Ferragamo in her lifetime. In 1969 she received the Saks Fifth Avenue Award; in 1988 she is nominated Designer of the Year by the American Footwear News and in February 1993 she received the Fashion Footwear Association of New York Medal of Honor. In addition, she was first President of the Tuscan delegation of FAI (Fondo Ambiente Italiano), member of the Bank of Italy Regency Council and member of the board of the Florence Center for Italian Fashion.
