Andy Warhol was the accidental inspiration behind a limited-edition Salvatore Ferragamo shoe. Here’s how it happened: Warhol often wore Ferragamos–the only men’s style that the shoe designer ever personally created–in his studio, leading to the shoe to be streaked with paint. After the painter died, Ferragamo’s family bought a pair of the paint-speckled shoes at auction. The company has created replicas, which will go on sale in the next few days. [WWD]
Chairwoman of Agent Provocateur, Kim Winser, believes that “[k]nowing that you have great lingerie on does things for a girl – and her relationships,” and apparently sales as well: The former chief executive of Pringle of Scotland and Aquascutum plans to double the amount of stores in the next three years.
