Sergio Rossi Boots – Heidi Klum

One of the earlier shots of Heidi Klum in Sergio Rossi boots. Somehow she looks far more natural in this photo than today.

Although this Gucci-owned footwear enterprise may not enjoy the brand recognition of fellow Italian luxury lines Bottega Veneta or Tod’s, Sergio Rossi is famous for stunning high-heel stiletto sandals and seductive boots. His shoes make the foot and leg look incredible.

But Sergio is no longer with the company he founded in the 1950s. In 1999 the Gucci Group took an initial 70% stake, and then the ownership went to 100% in 2004.
