If you can only afford to go to one footwear show this season, then
consider The Kensington Shoe Event. Popular with discerning footwear and fashion buyers, right in the heart of London, it has become the leading UK show for medium-to-high quality footwear. Held twice yearly, in March and September, the compact show is well worth a visit. On display there are generally 65 brands to give retailers an exciting
cross section of Europe’s best factories and designers. These are some of the best selling brands in the UK, for shoe and fashion retailers. Some visitors comment that they are able to find all their
requirements “under one roof” at The Kensington Shoe Event. The show is an informal and relaxed event, where the visitors feel very much at ease and can concentrate on their buying and, for those who have been at the major European shows, reviewing previously placed orders. The Kensington Shoe Event is organised by shoe agents Renato de Angelis and Martin Ward. Martin Ward outlined the strengths that benefit both exhibitors and visitors. "I think it's important that people understand that this event is organised by Renato and myself, coming

from the point of view of agents, rather than event organisers, in terms of our experience. This in turn means that we can understand better the needs of our colleagues and the trade as a whole. We are trying to offer the best setting for the business we are in, and we want to maintain a suitable ambience where visitors feel they can view the products at a comfortable pace, and establish a relationship with the exhibitors which will benefit both." The forthcoming Kensington Shoe Event will be held from September
26th to 28th 2010, and hopes to echo its past successes as an event with a high level of quality brands, in a comfortable setting for buyers to browse at their own pace and leisure. Entry to the show is free of charge, and visitors can enjoy free
refreshments throughout the day. Exhibitors and visitors can also choose to have late appointments where necessary, as there is not a set 'lock-up' time in the hotel. According to Renato: “The timing of the Event, just after the major
European shows allows the retailers to have a clear mind on what to buy in a relaxed and informal environment.”
