eye2eye ON HOLD FOLLOWING ADVERSE MARKET CONDITIONS
The organizers of eye2eye - London’s high level fashion footwear and accessories trade show - have decided to put the show on hold for the forthcoming AW06-07 season, and until market conditions in the UK footwear retail sector improve.
Unlike other trade shows in the UK, eye2eye relies heavily on European, American and Japanese exhibitors and visitors, so International attendance is a sine qua non condition for the success of eye2eye, certainly the UK’s most international trade event.
Whereas we are expecting the regular UK buyers to make it to London during fashion week, our early contacts suggest London is still lacking a critical mass of International visitors
Rather than running a show which could disappoint our regular exhibitors and undermine our future and image, we see it as more beneficial for eye2eye, in the long-term, not to run a show under the present conditions.
Eye2Eye, since its inception, has always shown extraordinary quality in terms of exhibitor level, services, events and buzz around the show, as well as quality of International buyers.
We are very proud to have brought many international designer collections to the UK for the first time!
eye2eye has indeed gathered under one roof the very best of fashion footwear and accessories labels – in London. Examples include Marc Jacobs, Chloe, Cacharel, Chie Mihara, Fessura, Costume National, Premiatta, Audley, Eley Kishimoto, Bernhard Willhelm, among many others. (exhibitor list)
The organizers are committed to make it stay that way, we have plans for the near future, so please leave your email here if you want to be informed about our next move.
We will certainly be back with a bigger and even better show.
