Ferragamo's Frieze

IN celebration of the Frieze Art Fair, which starts today, Salvatore Ferragamo is launching an exhibition featuring works of the maverick characters Blue and Joy - created by artists Fabio La Fauci and Daniele Sigalot.

Based in Berlin, the artists' work has been featured in exhibitions and galleries across Europe and now wings its way into Ferragamo's Old Bond Street store with a selection of pieces featuring the cute critters and culminating in a bespoke button work of art - made from 35,000 Salvatore Ferragamo buttons no less (pictured).

All of the artwork on show will be for sale and the day will end with a trunk show of Ferragamo's autumn/winter 2009-10 show.
