So sang Dorothy, ie. Judy Garland, in The Wizard of Oz, of which this year is the 70th anniversary.
As a tribute to The Wizard of Oz and to Judy Garland, a lifelong client of Ferragamo, a new version of the Varina model, the famous ballerina with a bow, has been
created. Like little Dorothy’s red shoes, this Ferragamo version too, has something magical and fairytale-like about it, being completely covered with iridescent mercury, blue, coral and almond coloured paillettes.

This historic event will also encompass the launch of the new Ferragamo ‘Tuscan Soul’ fragrance and new watches, in a nod to the recent joint venture with Timex Group.
