Ferragamo announces the start of an important collaboration with Italian skiing legend Alberto Tomba, a true symbol of excellence and determination.
The decision to partner with Alberto Tomba stems from a desire to celebrate values shared by the Florentine fashion house: dedication, perseverance, resilience and meticulous attention to detail. These are the same principles that guided Salvatore Ferragamo throughout his creative vision, driven by passion, the constant pursuit of excellence and a deep respect for craftsmanship.
With an extraordinary career marked by global achievements, Tomba embodies the most authentic expression of an Italy that believes in talent, commitment and the ability to push boundaries.
‘Alberto Tomba is a symbol of talent, courage and determination,’ said Leonardo Ferragamo. ‘His sporting career perfectly reflects Ferragamo’s philosophy: every achievement is born of sacrifice, every result of dedication. We share with him a deep sense of authenticity and love of excellence—values that continue to inspire our daily work.’
‘Being chosen by Ferragamo is an honour,’ said Alberto Tomba. ‘I have always believed that sport and style share a common language: passion, discipline and the desire to improve every day. Representing a brand that embodies all of this—and that brings Italian beauty and craftsmanship to the world—is a great source of pride.’
Alberto Tomba, born in Bologna in 1966, is one of the greatest alpine skiers of all time: he is the only athlete to have won races for 11 consecutive seasons (1987–1998) and to have won four Giant Slalom titles and four Special Slalom titles. He has also won 3 Olympic gold medals, 2 Olympic silver medals, 2 World Championship golds, 2 World Championship bronzes, 50 World Cup victories and 1 overall World Cup title—revolutionising the sport with his energy, charisma and unwavering dedication to his discipline. Today, he remains a global icon of sporting passion and Italian spirit.
