The Collections at WSA will also present an environment to reflect what motivates buyers to work productively, taking into consideration visual stimulants to create an up-to-the-minute design statement for the show. The Collections at WSA will feature:
•A new concise 3-day format
•A complete redesign and new location of C7. This chic dedicated space for retailers to discover modern, edgy styles in the athleisure, euro trend men's and women's arena will move from the 7th floor of the Venetian (where it originally got its namesake), to an easier to navigate and more intimate environment in the Bellini Ballroom.
•50 top footwear brands will be featured in C7 including Auri, Bacco Bucci, Camper, Diesel, DETNY by Shane&Shawn, Fly London, Hudson, Hunter Boots, and Ryan Rowe.
•The buyer experience throughout the show will be enhanced to complement the new fashion-forward décor direction and will include stylized rotundas with sleek furniture and bold visuals, and enhanced lighting.
•The popular and well-attended Glass Slipper Awards will move to the trendy new hot spot, Sushi Samba at the Palazzo.
“We strive to present a show that allows retailers to make the most of their shopping experience,” says Leslie Gallin, director, The Collections at WSA. “We know we have all the right brands, and we want to enhance the buying experience by creating an environment that inspires buyers to think in new directions.”
