"    Photo: Courtesy of Ferragamo   Legendary designer Salvatore Ferragamo&amp;#039;s personal story has been brought to life in a modern day fairy tale. Illustrator Frank Espinosa, who coincidentally was the son of a cobbler himself, beautifully depicted Ferragamo&amp;#039;s life as a passionate shoemaker and entrepreneur in Ferragamo&amp;#039;s premiere comic book, Making of a Dream. Having worked alongside his father while growing up, Espinosa knew first hand not only the passion for making fashionable shoes but also what the atmosphere of an actual footwear factory is like. He purposefully maintained a slight messiness in his images, as you may be able to tell from one of Frank&amp;#039;s first drafts of the story (exclusively pictured here), in an attempt to accurately portray the factory. Weaving together a mix of reality and creativity, Espinosa poignantly captured Ferragamo&amp;#039;s inspiring story of perseverance and achieving his dreams.   A limited number of signed copies of the comic book are currently on sale at the Ferragamo Fifth Avenue flagship store in NYC, and all proceeds will benefit Un Cuore, Un Mondo, a non-profit organization that supports activities directed at helping children who suffer from heart disease.
