Fashion vs. Art: Salvatore Ferragamo


Art:  This artifact is one of the many stained glass windows found in the cathedral, Santa Maria Nascente; which is located in Duomo di Milano.

Fashion:  This is called the Iride shoe by Salvatore Ferragamo and was designed between 1930 and 1936.

Interpretation:  The window has so many different colors shining throughout it just like the shoe does.  There were many other shoes designed by Ferragamo that gave off the same stained glass feel, but I choose this specific shoe because between each color we see solid black lines, just like the black rods in the window.
