The Daily 5 – It’s All About The Good News
by JULIA
Color blocking is a trend we will be seeing a lot of at the shows and I am definitely a fan if it’s done properly. I can’t wait to see what all my favorite brands are doing with this trend at the show next month! Congrats to Chinese Laundry who just announced they will be the official sponsor for the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. I am sure this will get them some great press! I am happy to see Aetrex reci…
“Eco Sassy Sandals”
by Mary Krajick
Leticia posing with (and wearing) her favorites It was in the late afternoon on the first day of Platform where I was getting pretty tired from walking around when I got a boost of energy from Leticia Calvo Treffot when she described her “eco sassy line”, de la Rue to me. De la Rue (means from the road) are truly beautiful shoes made from actual car tires! The tires the soles are made from are literally just cut…
Footwear for Yoga Enthusiasts!
by Mary Krajick
Simone and Mariam my lovely hosts at the Swamisz booth. I really enjoyed finding the truly unique footwear brands at Platform. This one caught my eye as I walked by the Swamisz booth because of the uniqueness of the structure of the shoe. Simone Eccleton and Mariam Anvarali were happy to share the cool yoga inspired footwear with us! The brand launched at the last Platform in February and has been a big hit in Japan, New…

Jaguar Footwear Launched at Platform!!
by Mary Krajick
The man behind it all, Fred Levey. I started talking with Marcia Goodman from Jaguar Footwear when we posted a press release about the new and exciting brand that is launching this season. I was so excited to check it out at Platform because of our previous exchanges. I knew there was a sense of excitement coming from the person behind the e-mails. I could not have met a more pleasant person who was as excited for a brand as s…
“Butterfly Bliss”
by Mary Krajick
Vicky McGeaun posing with the fabulous fold-able footwear. I’m a girl who LOVES her high heels and but (as much as I hate to admit it) I can’t last more than a couple hours without doing the side to side dance to make my feet feel better; I’m always carrying around another pair of shoes with me. On the second day of Platform (in flats, I wasn’t going to kid myself two days in a row) I walked into the Butterfly Twists booth whe…

“Find Your Style…With PopFlops!”
by Mary Krajick
Julia and I are on our way back from Las Vegas and I’m so excited to share my first FN Platform experience with everyone! As I walked along the white carpet and down what seemed like endless aisles I ran into countless new, cool, innovative, and exciting brands. Walking down one aisle I saw what looked like pieces of Jewelry which attracted me to the Pop Flops booth. This is where I met the woman behind the patent pending con…
Robert Wayne Following Season Trends
by Tara Bodt
Hi Everyone, It has been long times since I’ve written anything for this site-almost 8 months. Lately, it has been non-stop with traveling and shows-no excuse! I love writing for this site, so I am a little embarrassed so much time has gone by. Either way, here we are, approaching WSA, Ffany, Magic and Platform, so I thought it was good time to write about some of the trends I see going forward. Going into Fall, I am noticin…
