Breaking News: Ferragamo announces new designer

Ortiz, who was Design Director at Prada between 1994- 1997 and a designer at Maison Lanvin for four years before launching womenswear for Italian label Brioni (which we loved!) will begin designing in time to present Ferragamo's autumn winter 2008 collection in February 2008. She said of her new role, "I am excited to work for this prominent Italian brand. Salvatore Ferragamo enjoys a prestigious past and has extraordinary potential in the luxury industry. Florence continues to be recognised worldwide for the quality and fine craftsmanship of its products, and Ferragamo has always been one of the main reasons for that". Congratulations Christina, sounds like you've bagged your dream job. We look forward to her debut collection.
