B.W. COOK -- The Look

The spring/summer 2001 line from Salvatore Ferragamo is a fashionable

blend of haute couture and traditional elegance on the way to drop-dead

sex appeal. The line of finely tailored ready-to-wear fashions was

presented to the Newport Mesa community by professional models in an

exclusive West Coast presentation last week. Most of the fashions are

available at Salvatore Ferragamo, South Coast Plaza.

The Look also presents several designs from the Ferragamo Milan

collection, which are specially created fashions for the season found in

Europe and on the East Coast, from New York to Palm Beach, Fla.
