Equilibrium

The exhibition, EQUILIBRIUM, at the Ferragamo Museum in Florence, illustrates this concept with Salvatore Ferragamo's writings, research and his creations, using his shoes as a starting point for a study, a deep investigation between science, art and of course, fashion. Ferragamo recognized the importance of the foot's arch, stating that, "Nature, the supreme architect from whom Man has borrowed and adapted so many of his ideas," creating the arch of the foot to support the most weight, just as in the architectural arch can support more weight than a flat lintel. He considered the movement of the human body, based from the foot, considering connections with the fields of science, art, architecture, archaeology, circus and dance. From walking derives, running, dancing, and other movement all dependent on a relationship between the foot and the mind, with everything in between.
