KENSINGTON PREVIEW The Kensington Shoe Event


I


f 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, 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 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 footwear 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.


The Westbury Mayfair, Conduit Street, W1 from March 20th to 22nd 2011


This in turn means that we can understand better the needs of our colleagues and the trade as 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 KSE will be held from March 20th to 22nd 2011, 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. The show is spread on 4 floors: Lower Ground, Ground Floor, 1st and 2nd Floor.
