The title is self explanatory. I noticed, for example, that Ferragamo shoes for women are typically atrocious, whereas the men's are a tad better.

probably not but maybe yes

i was just at the ferragamo shoe museum (ferragamo actually did some amazing inventive stuff with women's shoes over his career and won some 360 patents) and asked them who was their current shoe designer and they rattled off some name that i don't recall but added that there is a team of designers working with that person

so just like every other larger design house, there's usually more than one person
