The Sergio Rossi brand was left without its founder

Before that, the designer spent several days in a hospital in the Italian city of Cesena.

Rossi has been making shoes all his life. The famous Italian brand was created in 1968 and has become one of the most recognizable Italian shoe brands.

The designer has also collaborated with fashion houses Versace, Dolce & Gabbana and Azzedine Alaïa.

Since the beginning of March, the Sergio Rossi brand has donated all funds from online sales to the fight against the epidemic.
