Venessa Ferragamo

A rose, by any other name, is still a rose. So, too, is an Aberegg. That's what Courtney Aberegg has discovered. It's a lesson shared with Venessa Ferragamo and Spencer George.

Ferragamo, on the other hand, longs for the day when "Daughter of Vince Ferragamo" doesn't seem to be part of her surname.
