Why do Italy brands like to do exhibitions in Shanghai?

To this question, Mr. Michele Norsa, chief executive of Ferragamo, answered the question from the history of Italy.

In this country with a long tradition of handwork, fashion not only means brand, but also links with history.

The exhibition of cooperation with museums on the history and craft tradition is especially suitable for the 80 years of Ferragamo.

Ms. Ferragamo's wife, Mrs. von Da Ferragamo, explained why he chose to carry out the brand 80th anniversary commemorative activities and exhibitions in Shanghai. "Because the country and the city have a rich history and tradition."

At the same time, the market share of the country has reached 17% in the Ferragamo global market.

The young Italians became famous in Hollywood because they made shoes for movie stars. In 1923, they opened a "Hollywood boot shop". They designed shoes models for movie stars like Mary Pickford, Joan Croft, Paula Negri and Gloria Swanson.
