WWD reported that shoe designer Vince Camuto has past away at 78 from cancer.

Camuto co-founded the Nine West Group Inc. in 1978 and served as creative director and then CEO. After selling the company to the Jones Apparel Group in 1999, Camuto founded the Camuto Group in 2001. In addition to creating four brands for Dillard's, Camuto acquired the licenses for BCBG, Max Azria and BCBGirls. Camuto also helped Tory Burch launch her successful footwear line and the Jessica Simpson Collection.

Jessica Simpson took to Instagram to mourn her mentor saying, "Thank you, Vince, for the humble power that has taken me everywhere. You are my mentor, my family, the creator of all my dreams. I will forever walk in your shoes...you made them. #brokenheart"
