"There is so much planning that goes into each season of our events and I’m really pleased with the alignments and partnerships that we have made to make our Shoe Week engaging! I’m so excited for our brands and invited attendees to not only enjoy calendared events, but to also continue to support all involved in NYFW,” explained Co-Founder/Creative Director and Accessories Expert, Kimmie Smith. "By identifying Shoe Lifestyle as a core component of our brand heritage, it’s truly thrilling to see how it will be embraced by our attendees this year."
