I’m finally back to the frozen tundra that is Massachusetts and out of the Las Vegas lights. I have to say,Las Vegas is fun for a few days but 2 weeks is entirely too long to be in Sin City. As far as the shoe and fashion shows go,it all went well. As promised I have a few pictures to share. Among the many Shoe designers and fashion moguls in attendance,here’s a taste of Italian brands that participated:
Bruno Magli,Sergio Rossi,Primigi Italia,Massimo Bonini,Katia Lombardo,Panetulipani,Emilio Pucci,Giuseppe Zanotti,Lorenzo Banfi,Superga,Rodolfo Zengarini…. and others. The World Shoe and Accessories Shoe (WSA) is held in 3 different convention centers simultaneously to give you a scope of the show’s size. In addition,they occupy several floors of suites in the Venetian Hotel and Casino where designers have private showings of their products. This is called,“The Collections”and is becoming a popular and cost effective way to participate although difficult to get into. We (my client) were in the “contemporary shoes”area at Mandalay Bay,so my photos are from that area.

Havaianas’booth…the Brazilian sandal brand.

Rocket Dogs –E loves this brand. Their booth gets bigger each show.

Marc Ecko Footwear….. Can you say 35 year old Billionaire?

PF Flyers…. Run Faster,Jump Higher. Also my client. We won the best booth award! (under 800 sqf)
Bye Las Vegas…. see you in July. Next stop:Barcelona.



Lucky you I love,love,love Barcelona. Have a glass of Cava for me while you’re there.
Ohhh Barcelona!!! Lucky dog! Have not been…and with the dollar in the tank…it will be sometime before I can go. Counting on you for some good photos
I don’t have the *Vegas* bug like most Americans do. I have the Italy bug
Never been to Barcelona,so I’m looking forward to it. Let me know if you have any recommendations.:)
That is a wonderful article. I really think it will turn out to be a very crucial piece of information in the future for me.
