The designer passed away after contracting Covid-19.

Sergio Rossi has died at age 84. Rossi’s son Gianvito confirmed in a statement that the renowned Italian shoemaker contracted Covid-19 and had been hospitalised in Cesena, Italy.

Rossi learned the trade from his father and began selling artisan-crafted women’s footwear bearing his own name in 1968. His label gained prominence in the 1970s for its refined, sophisticated styles and, in the 1990s, Rossi designed shoes for fashion houses such as Versace, Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Azzedine Alaïa.
