Ferragamo WORLD is a paradox: the shoes, representative of a more casual Italian lifestyle, are certainly less formal and serious—yet beautifully sincere and sophisticated, as is typical of the elite, elegant fashion house—but the cause they address couldn’t be more dire. Ferragamo WORLD is a brand partnership with Acumen Fund, a nonprofit addressing global poverty in South Asia and East Africa. “Great wealth has been created in the world as a result of globalization and the power of technology and markets,” says Javier Suarez, director of men’s leather products. “These benefits must find a way to reach a wider segment of the population. Giving back to society, not only in terms of alleviating poverty but also in terms of sustainability, should be the concern of all.” Pick up one of the six models this fall; treat your sole and your soul to comfort.
