#FollowVara: Salvatore Ferragamo celebrates the 40th anniversary of Vara shoe

It was 1978 when high heels were fashion's favourite flavour, and Fiamma Ferragamo (daughter of Salvatore Ferragamo) decided to break the mundane with a new silhouette – the Vara shoe.

And after spending one year in the making, the Vara shoe was introduced to the market with value and modernity ahead of its time. It comes in a structured silhouette – low heel and rounded toe, honeyed by the Italian house's signature flat bow. It is simple yet elegant, a day-to-night classic statement that ensures the wearer comfort and gives her walk a boost of confidence.

This 2019, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Vara shoe, Salvatore Ferragamo invites a global cast of powerful women to parade the timeless design in their very own codes of style. From Maika Monroe to Caroline Issa and Tamu McPherson, scroll down to check out the stars in their Vara.
