Marilyn at Ferragamo



“Ho diviso le donne che sono venute da me in tre categorie: le Cenerentole, le Veneri e le aristocratiche. Le Cenerentole calzano sempre scarpe più piccole della misura 6. Le Veneri calzano la taglia 6; le Aristocratiche il 7 o sopra”.”
(Il calzolaio dei sogni. L’autobiografia di Salvatore Ferragamo, Londra 1957, ed. italiana 1971)


"I divided the women whom I served in three categorizes:
the Cinderellas, the Venuses and the Aristocrats.
The Cinderellas wear always shoes smaller then size 6.
The Venuses are size 6,
the Aristocrats the 7 or above"



So what shoe size was Marilyn Monroe?
7 1/2
And she was all of the above.
At Museo Ferragamo in Florence
a lovely Exhibition all about Marilyn Monroe.
Really worth visiting.
