Angelo Ruggeri parts from Sergio Rossi

Italian footwear label Sergio Rossi’s design director Angelo Ruggeri is leaving the company after three years.

During his time at the house, the designer oversaw the creation of both the men’s and women’s collections. This news comes mere months after the brand was sold to Investindustrial.

Parting ways
Sergio Rossi’s former owner Kering completed the sale of the label to InvestIndustrial in December, handing over the shoemaker to the group before the start of the new year.

Investindustrial also has stakes in automaker Aston Martin and Perfume Holding, which licenses the fragrances of La Perla, Ferrari and John Galliano. As a smaller fashion house than some notable names in Kering’s luxury portfolio, this purchase may help Sergio Rossi refocus and further grow its business (see story).

Mr. Ruggeri joined Sergio Rossi in 2013, coming to the label following stints at Giorgio Armani, Tom Ford and Dsquared2.

With his departure, the brand said, “The company would like to express its sincere gratitude to Angelo Ruggeri for his work and dedication to the brand during these three years of collaboration.”

There is no announcement yet as to Mr. Ruggero’s next move, or who his replacement might be.

Sergio Rossi has seen other shake ups since its purchase. Andrea Morante left Kering’s Pomellato, where he had been CEO, to serve as Sergio Rossi’s chairman, while Sergio Rossi Group got a new CEO in Riccardo Sciutto, who had previously been at Hogan, according to WWD.
