NEW YORK, United States — The owner of fashion brand Stuart Weitzman was sued by a footwear executive who alleged he was sexually harassed by the company’s recently-departed creative director, Giovanni Morelli.
The executive, Thomas Gibb, claimed in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan state court on Tuesday that he endured "numerous unwanted touchings and endless comments" from Morelli, and the conduct continued despite a complaint to human resources.
The suit names Morelli and Tapestry Inc. as defendants.
