Gant EMU Australia
“The Moda team has worked incredibly hard to create the right environment for footwear brands this season and we are over the moon to announce a roll call of over 140 footwear brands coming together at Moda, offering the most exciting, efficient and effective buying platform for visitors. According to feedback, newness is integral to the success of the industry so we have forged ahead with a campaign to bring on board a host of new to Moda brands. Plus, our dedicated buyer acquisition team will now help facilitate introductions between brands and retailers to deliver superb ROI for our exhibitors whilst also introducing buyers, via our speed-networking programme, to our exciting new brands that may not be on their radar. We are also delighted to launch Little Soles and offer kid’s footwear brands a dedicated space to shine a light on their collections. We’re confident that buyers will love the new zone and the playfulness and energy we will create with the café and play area. With 26 kid’s footwear brands already showcasing at MODA Footwear, and over 140 footwear brands in total, this is an area of real focus for us and we couldn’t be happier with how much interest we have had so far.”
