B.W. COOK -- The Look

South Coast Plaza welcomed the exclusive shoe boutique of Sergio Rossi

at a grand in-store cocktail preview. Sergio Rossi’s very first

California-based foot apparel store is the very definition of luxury.

Rossi footwear has become the rage of both the fashion and the film

industries.

Both the women’s and the men’s lines are very popular with the

trendsetters worldwide. The prices are high, the quality demands it.

Service is a very important element of the Sergio Rossi concept, as is

the deluxe decor of the showroom.

Every design detail is expressed with maximum creativity, with no

expense spared. So, slip into the Sergio Rossi boutique in South Coast

Plaza and slip on a pair of very classy new shoes.
