Fans of Nicole Kidman and Ferragamo, will be happy to know that the designer will play a pivotal role in the starlet's new film, "Australia". James Ferragamo and his team hand made 18 styles of riding boots, pumps, wedges and sandals in luxe leather, velvet and suede. "In order to ensure a correct fit, I along with our best craftsman from our atelier, had the unique pleasure of meeting directly with Nicole Kidman to take a precise measurement of her foot so we could create her shoes in the tradition sense," stated Ferragamo.

While the collection was strictly for Kidman's feet only, a modernized evening sandal inspired by the costume collection will be sold as a limited edition at Ferragamo boutiques in November to coincide with the film's release.

Just as it is about to celebrate it glorious 80th anniversary, Ferragamo is bringing back its Creations Collection of popular bags and shoes over the last several decades. Each of the designs, originally made for such clients as Ava Gardner, Marilyn Monroe and Audry Hepburn, will be available in limited quantities.

Clockwise from left:

• Red Crocodile Tote (1992): $14,000
• Lucite Bag w/ Silk Insert (1995): $4000
• Red Satin Evening Shoes (1958): $1,200
• Leather Chain Link Sandals (1938): $1,600
• Gold Wedges (1947): $1,600

This collection only confirms (in our minds) the reason Ferragamo has remained a iconic leader in the fashion world for over 80 years! Check out the Salvatore Ferragamo website for upcoming details on the Creations Collection availability.
