At the celebration of his Fall/Winter 2015 Collection that took place at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills, we got the chance to pick the brilliantly creative brain of Italian shoe designer, Gianvito Rossi. Known for the simplicity and sultriness of his designs, a pair of his shoes has a unique way of consistently making a woman look and feel confident. With a track record like that, we could not wait to dig a little deeper and see what else we could find out about the fashion legend. Here, 5 things you probably didn’t know about Gianvito Rossi (because we didn’t either).
