Wow, what a crazy week!  Selling, Shipping, Snowing, Seeing our Spring Shoe in Elle…. what else could we ask for?

Upon returning to New York from Las Vegas we went right into New York Market with Sole Commerce at the Javits Center.  This was part of a larger show called The Coterie.  We were happy that the shoe segment was sitting close to contemporary apparel- yet another example of the market developing around the lifestyle trend.

Our sales team had it under control, so we made our way to Rendevous NY and The Train and Designers and Agents.  While the majority of the Footwear action is definitely at Sole Commerce, we noticed some great brands like Coclico, Chie Mihara, Modern Vintage and Rosegold chose these other venues.  We’re welcoming newcomer MaraisUSA to the shoe scene.

Later in the week we went to the opening of the art show titled <a href=”http://romance2010.com/” target=”_blank”>ROMANCE 2010</a>.  We loved the dining room display with a ten course meal of real food integrated with everyday objects.  Our favorite was the Shoe Soup and the Deep Fried Bra.  The exhibit is up until Feb 28th at 447 HUDSON ST. (AT MORTON).
