Openhouse Gallery in SoHo – My new favorite venue!
by JULIA
OPENHOUSE Gallery I thought I would share this amazing spot with all my industry PR and Event shoebiz peeps in NYC. OPENHOUSE is located in SoHo and has been the home of my past two pop-up shops in the past month (I know, I know…when did I start doing that?? Well don’t worry about that for now. ).

FFaNY 2010 – What a fun week!
by Richard Salmon
Ffany ended last week on Thursday June 10th, and I cannot wait to see those new fall 2010 shoes in stores! As some of you might know, this is my second trade-show ever. My first was Magic in Vegas, and now, I can say that I am an expert in shoes…or getting to be anyway! :) Rich came along this time, as a shoe show virgin (he will tell you all about his experience) and we were running around the city like maniacs in between…

The Daily 5, All about the good news!
by JULIA
Where most categories of footwear had to accept losses this year, running was able to stay ahead with single digit growth for most brands. In my opinion I think that this may be because buying a pair of running shoes is much cheaper than a monthly gym membership and running provides a cheap and easy form of keeping in shape. I think running also provides an amount of time for an individual to think and unwind which is also ve…
MAGIC and FN Platform…What do you think??
by JULIA
It was announced a couple weeks ago, that MAGIC and FN would be teaming up to launch a new footwear show that will run at the same time as MAGIC beginning during February’s upcoming show. I have been surprised that I have not heard more about what people think of this, especially considering the drama with WSA. Based on the information I have read, it seems like they listened to the feedback and complaints and put t…
