Over the past few decades, he has returned to China more than a dozen times. A landmark event was the brand's 2005 runway show inside the Forbidden City in Beijing, a seminal moment that redefined the boundaries between luxury fashion and cultural dialogue.

His most recent visit was to Chengdu, the emerging metropolis in Southwest China's Sichuan province, early this month, to open the new flagship store at International Finance Square. Spanning nearly 1,000 square meters, it is Ferragamo's biggest store in Asia.

A perfect blend of creativity and craftsmanship, the boutique offers guests a refined, exclusive shopping experience infused with modern Italian flair.
