What’s Up With Matisse
by JULIA
These are one of my faves! They are great for fall and they look adorable on! I visited my friends at Matisse Footwear first when I arrived at the Hilton on the first day of FFaNY and I must say that I love their Spring ’11 line! It really is great! A bit of military inspiration and a lot of interesting designs. I had so much fun trying on everything and hopefully I helped convince the buyers that were there to go for t…
Shoe Show Virgin No More!
by Richard Salmon
Let me just say that last weeks show was the most fun and most productive I believe I have ever had! Bringing two gorgeous, wonderful girls with me to interview new people and promote my various brands was a fab idea and they did a great job!! We made so many new friends and caught up with all my besties for what will be remembered by me as one of the best weeks ever! Anedie truly had no idea what she was walking into, but no one wou…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant – THE ASSISSANT DIARIES
by JULIA
Gooo Sheena!! I can tell there is no formality anymore between Matisse Footwear and Shoebizness.com, literally since my last article, and now I am the reason of the topic… By the way we had a great time in NYC hanging out! “Sheena’s Weekly Rant” is meant for entertainment purposes only and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of all Shoebizness contributors. Here on Shoebizness we like to highlight all di…
My 5 Faves, by Dawn Stanoszek of Amerimark Direct
by JULIA
Dawn Stanoszek emailed me a couple of weeks ago because she enjoyed Matisse Sheena’s weekly rant. Dawn actually used to have Sheena’s job at Matisse until she decided to return home to Cleveland from 6 years living in California to be closer to her family. Lucky for Amerimark, because she seems like a great catch. She is currently their Assistant Shoe Buyer. Dawn seemed like a fun and positive person from her first e…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant-must have a sense of humor to read!
by JULIA
I have heard the term “shoe dog” so many times through out my career in the footwear industry. I would like to say that I don’t think age necessarily has anything to do with being a “shoe dog”. I believe they come in all shapes, ages and sizes and I also believe it is a mentality that a person has. I believe the mentality of the industry is changing as a whole and people are ready for a…

It’s time for Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant again…
by Matisse Sheena
Poor Sheena tore a tendon in her left ankle last Friday and is in a cast, but she still was able to send us her “rant”. It would be very nice if you would kindly leave a message of support for her recovery in the comment section… unless you are a department store buyer, then you probably won’t feel sorry for her. haha Now, that being said…The disclaimer reads: “Sheena’s Weekly Rant is mea…

Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant-Networking at Tradeshows
by Matisse Sheena
You might remember Sheena from a posting last week. We got a kick out of her stinging wit and decided that we wanted her to be a weekly contributor on Shoebizness! What’s fun is that we will pick a subject, any subject, and just let her “rant”. The disclaimer reads: “Sheena’s Weekly Rant is meant for entertainment purposes only and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of all Shoebi…
5 statements from Sheena at Matisse
by JULIA
Ally and I met Sheena in the lunch line our first day at WSA as a result of a shared love for a skirt… It seems the lunch line is where you meet some the coolest people! Sheena is responsible for Public Relations and Marketing for Matisse, and Coconuts by Matisse, based out of El Segundo, Ca. Sheena has a great sense of humor and down to earth view of the industry, which I really appreciate. We just can’t take ourselv…
