Summary
Pathe synopsis: Eighteen-year-old Giovanna Ferregamo is hoping her designs will sweep the beach and put the young look on parade. Daughter of the world-famous Italian shoe designer, she has stirred up the fashion world by using colour combinations considered fatal by many top couturiers. We filmed, at a London hotel, her first show in this country. Let’s hope it won’t be her last. For it’s good to see a girl who’s taken a deep breath and said "boo" to the city fathers of fashion.
