Fashion house, Berluti, announced on Monday that its Artistic Director, Alessandro Sartori, is stepping down after working for five years in the male fashion grasps of LVMH

Alessandro Sartori implemented the first ready-to-wear collection for the Parisien footwear brand, in November 2011. The Fall/Winter 2016 collection presented on January 22, 2016, at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, in Paris, will have been his last for the fashion house of Berluti.
 
Created in 1895 by Alessandro Berluti in Paris, the fashion house originally specialized in made-to-measure men’s shoes and was headed by four generations of the same family before entering the fold of LVMH, in 1993. 

But it was the arrival of Alessandro Sartori as Artistic Director in 2011 which started its international deployment and the extension of its product offerings with a complete ready-to-wear line.
 
Today, Berluti has over 40 boutiques in the world, in the most prestigious locations, from Paris to Milan to New York's Madison Avenue.
