ITALY: LVMH Pumps Up Footwear Business, Denies Magli Rumours
LVMH, whose footwear sales still trail rival Gucci’s, is aiming to boost its footwear business. It confirmed that it has been having discussions with exclusive shoe firm, Italian-based Fratelli Rossetti, and said that there is likely to be a further intensification of it’s deal with RossiModa. Luigino Rossi and his two brothers are now set to sell a 45 per cent stake in the RossiModa business to LVMH.
