Son of the legendary shoe-maker Sergio Rossi, Gianvito Rossi followed in his father’s footsteps and launched his eponymous footwear label in 2006. The label, with fine Italian craftsmanship at its core, has its own factory in Milan and boutiques in Via Santo Spirito, Milan and in the prestigious Rue Du Mont Thabor, Paris. His collections are feminine and sophisticated with a contemporary slant. Recently Rossi embarked on the Carbon Fibre Sandal project – merging luxury with technology, to create a lightweight sandal with a linear aesthetic.
