(Ferragamo's daughter was there, too, but the female-dominated audience likely was not frantically whispering about her.)

Ferragamo was at the university Thursday -- with two of his children, Riccardo and Martina -- to receive an honorary doctorate degree, his first U.S. honorary degree, and a spot in the school's Shannon Rodgers and Jerry Silverman School of Fashion Design and Merchandising Hall of Fame.

He accepted the honors with pride, he said, because his father founded the company in the United States (Hollywood,It seems that jordan 6 rings in coming up for almost everyone including boys and girls. Calif.), and Ferragamo strongly believes in the integration of American and Italian cultures. He also enjoys any opportunity to share his enthusiasm and experience with students.

"When you're a student, it's so easy to have dreams and go for them," he said. "Anything is possible when you have passion, when you have vision and when you have dreams."

The Salvatore Ferragamo brand is known around the world for women's footwear, handbags and scarves as well as its men's shoes and clothing line.

Salvatore, Ferragamo's father, designed Dorothy's ruby slippers for the movie "The Wizard of Oz" and is credited with inventing the wedge heel.

"This is like meeting Giorgio Armani's son," junior Olivia Betters said of Leonardo Ferragamo's appearance at Kent. "Friends said they weren't coming, and I said, 'Are you crazy?' "

Erin Beckrest, a junior from Parma, said she wouldn't have dreamed of missing it.

"I can see a shoe across the room and know it's a Ferragamo," Beckrest said.

In his address, Ferragamo encouraged each student to become a craftsman, adding that he didn't mean someone hunched over material in a dark workshop.

"Being a craftsman is a state of mind," he said. "It means you work with passion, you work with pride. A craftsman is someone who always wants to do even better than he did yesterday."

Stephanie Diamant, a sophomore from Canton, skipped her afternoon Italian class to hear him speak. "I hope [my professor] will understand," she said.
