From Salvatore Ferragamo's archives, a kidskin sandal with layered cork sole and heel covered in suede stands out with a rainbow colour scheme.
This 1938 wedge sandal was designed for Judy Garland, who sang Over The Rainbow in the musical fantasy The Wizard Of Oz, released a year later.
Its 80th anniversary has been marked in July by the limited-edition Rainbow Future platform, crafted based on sustainable practices and a CSR project in supporting Treedom's planting of 100 orange trees in Catania, Sicily.
Ferragamo's creative director Paul Andrew revisits the iconic design in the Rainbow Holiday collection, which has landed at its boutiques in the Emporium and Siam Paragon.
Technicolour stripes are complemented by a grosgrain Vara bow, another Ferragamo hallmark invented by the founder's daughter Fiamma in 1979.
A walking rainbow, Varina ballet flats can be matched with the Vara bag in the same vibrant palette.
With a chain-handle, the small geometric shoulder-strap bag is also available in block colours -- namely, yellow, blue or red-lipstick -- referencing the rainbow's primary colours.
The holiday 2018 collection also includes designs with bold prints and in classic black and white.
A pleated silk foulard combines two 1990s prints from the Ferragamo archives, resulting in a patchwork of vibrantly hued floral patterns that have also been applied to handbag and shoes.
Black and white colour-blocks are seen on the smooth-leather Vara bow-flap bag and matching Varina ballet flat. The version in elaphe with a cobra print boasts an optical black-and-white nuance while the Vara Bow pump shoe is crafted from a patchwork of contrasting snakeskin leathers in a monochrome colourway.
