Indian
actors
continue
to
make
waves
abroad.
While
Amitabh
Bachchan
and
Shahrukh
Khan
have
already
gained
legendary
status
overseas
with
continued
presence
amongst
the
who-is-who
of
the
international
arena,
it
is
all
the
more
heartening
when
the
actor
who
goes
on
to
find
appreciation
across
the
seas
happens
to
be
someone
as
young
as
Priyanka
Chopra.
Recently,
Palazzo
Spini
Feroni,
the
historic
Florentine
headquarters
of
Salvatore
Ferragamo,
hosted
Priyanka
Chopra
for
the
first
time.
She
visited
the
Florentine
label
as
part
of
the
Shoes
for
a
Star
project.
This
makes
her
the
first
Indian
actress
to
join
the
likes
of
Marilyn
Monroe
and
Audrey
Hepburn.
Informs
Priyanka's
friend
who
is
in
know-how
of
what
happened
at
the
event.
"She
was
presented
with
her
personalised
wooden
last
in
a
special
ceremony
at
the
Salvatore
Ferragamo
boutique
at
the
Galleria
Trident.
She
has
now
received
her
very
own
evening
sandal
with
rhinestone
crusted
13cm
heel
and
platform.
The
material
and
colour
too
was
of
her
choice.
You
should
see
the
piece;
it
is
one
of
its
own
kinds
in
the
world."
It
was
an
exceptional
initiative
in
which
the
young
actress
received
Salvatore
Ferragamo's
inimitable
VIP
treatment,
once
reserved
for
Hollywood
stars
in
another
era.
Says
Priyanka
Chopra
who
is
obviously
thrilled
with
the
treatment
meted
to
her.
"I
am
delighted
to
own
my
very
own
customised
pair
of
shoes
from
Ferragamo.
It's
every
girl's
dream
come
true.
You
know,
it's
such
a
great
feeling
to
catch
hold
of
a
fantabulous
pair
of
shoes
that
were
specially
designed
for
me
by
one
of
the
foremost
brands
in
the
world."
A
guest
at
the
Ferragamo
family
owned
Gallery
Art
Hotel,
Priyanka
Chopra
was
invited
to
Palazzo
Spini
Feroni
for
a
welcome
lunch
with
the
Ferragamo
family
and
a
tour
of
the
Salvatore
Ferragamo
Museum.
During
her
visit,
she
also
met
with
expert
shoemakers
who
measured
her
feet
for
wooden
lasts,
an
essential
part
of
the
Ferragamo
shoemaking
process.
Next,
she
met
with
the
shoe
designers
who
then
created
a
customized
shoe
in
line
with
her
taste
and
requests.
"What
makes
it
so
much
more
special
is
that
it
is
the
only
one
of
its
kind
in
the
world.
While
I
was
consulted
during
the
design
process,
it
was
another
feeling
altogether
when
I
saw
my
shoes
for
the
first
time",
smiles
Priyanka.
