Sergio Rossi opens flagship in London

On this episode of Talking Shop I’m joined by Alain Bejjani—former Group CEO of Middle East retail giant Majid Al Futtaim, and author of the definitive new book, NEXT: Leading Through the New Realities. Drawing on his childhood in war-torn Beirut, and his experience steering a $9.5bn dollar retail and lifestyle empire through a global pandemic, Alain brings an unmatched perspective on leadership under pressure. Today, we break down his crisis survival playbook for retailers operating in distress. We discuss why resilience must always outpace efficiency, the four assets a brand must protect at all costs, and how to turn macro-turmoil into a long-term direction that scales.

Shoe and handbag brand, Sergio Rossi, will be opening its newest store on London’s Mount Street, Mayfair.

The 100 sqm retail space will be its flagship with an aim to “perfectly summarise” the identity of the brand. The store concept has been created by architect Marco Costanzi and a collection of furniture created exclusively for the brand by interior designer Cristina Celestino.

The store design was inspired by a “cultivated and ironic femininity with a contemporary allure”, expressed through a “scenic setting featuring an elegant sitting room”. The furniture reveals both a domestic and a retail aspect.

The backdrop is partly inspired by the city of Milan, which presents a colour palette of nude, chalk hues, amaranth, pine and pale green.

The London boutique will be the first to carry a menswear capsule, the first since the relaunch of the brand in 2016. On March 13, Sergio Rossi will celebrate its debut in London with an exclusive in-store cocktail reception followed by a private dinner hosted by Martina Mondadori, founder of design magazine Cabana.
