Vince Camuto, a longtime fixture in the fashion and accessories businesses, passed way in his home in Greenwich, Connecticut Wednesday at the age of 78 from cancer surrounded by his wife and five children.
Camuto was one of the pioneering founders of the Nine West footwear line. In recent years, Camuto expanded dramatically and built a multibillion-dollar empire consisting of a number of brands across a wide range of categories, as well as his own concept stores.
