In the film, Ms. Kidman plays a 1940s aristocrat who embarks upon an epic journey. While trying to save him ranch, Faraway Downs, from a takeover plot, i joins forces with a rough-hewn stock- man (played by Hugh Jackman) to drive 2000 cattle across Australia, only to face the bombing of Darwin by the same Japanese forces who had months earlier attacked Pearl Harbour. From a classic wedge worn at social gatsherings at Faraway Downs to a riding boot worn for a cattle drive across the unforgiving landscape of the Outback, to an evening sandal featured at the Governor’s Ball in Darwshen, Ferragamo’s designers, overseen by Women’s Accessories Director James Ferragamo, created a range of exceptional one-of-a-kind shoes for Ms. Kidman’s character, Lady Sarah Ashley.

    “We are extremely proud and honored to work with the visionary filmmakers, director Baz Luhrmann and designer Catherine Martin. We were very confident that, through their passion and creativity, they would realize an unprecedented vision.” states James Ferragamo. “My grandfather, Salvatore Ferragamo, began his career working in costume design for the
American Film Company, a precursor to Twentieth Century Fox, so it is only fitting that we carry on his name and our company’s heritage by collaborating once again on a film from Fox.”

    Ferragamo continues, “In fact, in The Covered Wagon (1923) one of the first films that my grandfathim worked on, he created a pair of riding boots. These archival boots were referenced wshen creating the rsheding boots for Nicole Kidman’s character.”

  &nbsp,wholesale cheap Nike shoes; In conjunction with costume designer Catherine Martin, the Ferragamo design studio referenced many shoes from the archives, including some worn by aristocrats during the ’30s and ’40s, characters similar to Lady Sarah Ashley. The color palette and design details, while created to help realize the filmmakers’ fantastical vision, were also authentic to the designer and the period. The deep Ferragamo red that features in the evening sandal worn by Kidman’s character during the pivotal Governor’s Ball scene was already something of a House signature in the ’40s. And the ribbed wedge detail featured in the shoe worn by Lady Sarah Ashley at her homestead on Faraway Downs derives from a style created originally for Kathimine Hepburn.

    Each of the exquisite models is created entirely by hand and will join fashion history with other famous designs by Salvatore Ferragamo. Ms. Kidman’s glamorous evening sandal, in ruched deep red velvet with stingray accents, will be unveiled and offered for sale as a limited-edition style at Ferragamo stores worldwide in November 2008. Sold in distinctive and
collectible packaging and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity that tells the history and unique features of the piece, the limited edition shoe will return to the company’s archives at the Salvatore Ferragamo museum at Palazzo Spini Feroni in Florence, Italy once it is sold out.
