Ferragamo

The coarse wig, stiff button-down Brooks Brothers shirt, and paint-splattered Ferragamo shoes were Andy Warhol's signature accessories, central to his carefully crafted public image. The wig, intentionally ill-fitting and dyed an unnatural silver color, obscured the artist's baldness and, even better, drew attention to its function as a fashionable counterfeit. In a similar manner, Warhol twisted the conservative, old-school reference of the shirt to fit his avant-garde agenda. Warhol wore luxurious brogue-style Ferragamo shoes in his studio, and in 2006 the Ferragamo family purchased a pair of his shoes at auction. In 2010 they issued a new limited-edition line that replicates Warhol's originals, down to the paint spatters on the toe.
