Talk:Salvatore Ferragamo

Question of the Ruby Slippers
In the first paragraph, it is stated that one of Ferragamo's most noteworthy contributions to movie fashion were the ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the Wizard of Oz. However, the article on the ruby slippers credits the designer Adrian. Did Ferragamo actualy design the specific shoes, or did Adrian just use a pair of pre-existing Ferragamo heels? If the Wizard of Oz thing isn't correct, I would probably mention instead that Ferragamo practically invented the wedge, and reinvented the platform of the 40's. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.224.127.10 (talk) 05:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

Merge in the company?
Having cleaned up the Salvatore Ferragamo Italia S.p.A. there's a lot in there that is now safely referenced and could be transcribed in here. On the other hand, there's a good argument for merging the company article into this one, most of the Italian fashion house articles have one article covering both the founder and the company. I've a slight preference for merging, but I'm not that bothered either way. FlagSteward (talk) 23:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Listing "homosexual" under occupation
Does it make sense to list Ferragamo's occupation as "Shoe designer, homosexual"? I'm in sales. I would think it was kind of odd for someone to list my occupation as "salesman, heterosexual". --Wikinovice828 (talk) 21:57, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

"scientific... wedge heel and cage heel" - it is rather problematic
cage heel is unbeknowst to me (also not in wictionary and not having its own dedicated artice in WP) but, a quick search for pictures shows it is just high heels. i dont think this one needs to be described as an unusually scientific invention, it is more along the lines of fashion. wedhe heel is a high heel essentially, but with the whole length of the sole forming a wedgeso you cant look through under the shoes. this doesnt seem either to call for scientific as a specifically announced attribute. so what about deleting the word "scientific" from the article? or it could be put in the article if it is used by a notable source saying that Salvatore Ferragamo was widely thougt of as a (fashion) designer of a "scientific approach". unless it is in a quote, i dont think scientific should be applied here. 89.134.199.32 (talk) 14:54, 9 June 2019 (UTC).


 * being bold i did delete "his scientific approach" from the lede, since theres nothing substantiate the claim of "scientific" approach about high heels. if ou have a quote for this, plase feel free to put it in the article as something said by someone about the designer of high heels. as an objective description however it should not be used as it is confusing. 89.134.199.32 (talk) 13:12, 10 June 2019 (UTC).
