The Italian luxury brand Ferragamo has released a new podcast titled “The Shoemaker of Dreams,” which tells the life journey of an apprentice shoemaker from Florence to Hollywood. The podcast consists of 22 chapters and features renowned personalities such as Stanley Tucci, Caitriona Balfe, Isabella Rossellini, Jessica Alba, and Michelle Monaghan, who lend their voices to narrate the anecdotes and lesser-known moments of the founder’s life.
The podcast is a celebration of Salvatore Ferragamo’s incredible story and his legend. The founder’s autobiography, filled with captivating escapades and amusing anecdotes, serves as the inspiration for this unique content. Stanley Tucci, the American actor and film director, reads the second chapter of the autobiography, titled “Shoemaker of Dreams.”
This podcast follows the release of the interactive game TRIVIA on Instagram Stories, which allowed fans of the brand to test their knowledge about Ferragamo. Additionally, a documentary of the same name, directed by Luca Guadagnino, was premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year and features interviews with Martin Scorsese and Ferragamo’s wife, Wanda Miletti. The brand has also reissued Ferragamo’s autobiographical book, which reflects on his past in the fashion world.
Salvatore Ferragamo is known for being the go-to shoemaker for many celebrities, including Audrey Hepburn, Lady Di, Sophia Loren, Margaret Thatcher, and Andy Warhol. These tributes to Ferragamo provide a unique glimpse into the life and legacy of the renowned shoemaker.
