Hello fashionistas and fellow shoe designers. Thanks for stopping in today to view the latest sketch from the well anticipated 2010 Monticello Shoes Spring / Summer collection. I would like for everyone to meet ” Gabriella”. The inspiration behind her was classic. I was watching a TMC movie from the 40’s which starred Ingrid Bergman. She was a very beautiful woman in her days, but also a diva. After the movie ended, the commentator spoke highly of her, and her fashion savvy in her times. He went on to talk about the special designs that Salvatore Ferragamo made for her. She even had her own special last ( a mold of the foot to which the shoe will be crafted around). So I thought, If I had the pleasure of meeting her right before she made the movie “Notorious”. Which happened to be filmed in Rio de Janeiro. What would fit this diva’s personality and style, but also make her illuminate? The answer ” Gabriella”
