Sergio Rossi creative director to move on

04/03/2013
Creative director of luxury footwear brand Sergio Rossi, Francesco Russo, has decided to leave. Mr Russo, who has held the position since October 2008, said at the end of February that the autumn-winter 2013-2014 collection, unveiled at the most recent Milan Fashion Week, would be his last for Sergio Rossi.

Chief executive of the PPR-owned brand, Christophe Melard, said: “We all thank Francesco Russo for his commitment and passion during our collaboration. He has greatly contributed to the development of the brand.”

Sergio Rossi began making shoes in the 1950s in San Mauro Pascoli in Italy, and created his brand in 1968. The brand has long been synonymous with glamour and many Italian and international stars have worn Sergio Rossi on the red carpet over the years.
