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]
