New footwear brands to appear at Modacalzado
15 February 2011Modacalzado + Iberpiel, the International Footwear and Leather Goods Trade Fair, an event organised by IFEMA in collaboration with the Spanish Footwear Industries Federation (FICE), will feature the participation of a number of prestigious international footwear brands at its twenty-sixth edition, which is due to take place between March 13-15. These companies will take part at the fair for the first time in order to present their collections to the Spanish market.
Some of the most outstanding and prestigious brands at the next edition will include the following names: Ilse Jacobsen, who has made her handcrafted Wellington boots a veritable watchword for design in Scandinavia; Minnetonka Moccasin whose tasselled boots and moccasins of Eskimo inspiration are all the rage amongst American celebrities; and the British brand Ted Baker, which will offer a multitude of different looks for next Autumn-Winter 2011/2012.
Alongside these participants, a series of high-category firms at Modacalzado, such as the Dutch firm, Fred de la Bretoniere, which is well-known for its eco-friendly collections in leather, based on a series of aged finishes. Neither must we forget to mention the Dutch firm, Malvo, with its casual-wear fashion ideas for women.
In addition to these leading international firms, this edition of Modacalzado, which is due to take place in Halls 8 and 10 at Feria de Madrid, will also provide the setting for the first-time presentation of collections from renowned Spanish companies that have triumphed abroad, such as Calzados Belatti, not to mention a collection from the young designer from Barcelona, Iris Morata.
The incorporation of these important international companies into the exhibition at Modacalzado helps to promote the fair's strategy of enhancing its quality. This is an initiative that Modecalzado has pursued over a number of editions, based on a series of different measures, such as the creation of ‘Espacio Glam’, which brings together a large number of the most prestigious Spanish and foreign brands within a special section of the fair, featuring a series of modern and functional stands provided at a highly competitive price.
With still a month and a half to go before the event itself, the fair presents some excellent prospects. More than 600 companies have already confirmed their participation at the event.
The next edition of Modacalzado + Iberpiel will take place between Sunday, March 13 to Tuesday, March 15, from 9.30am through to 7.00pm and from 9.30am through to 5.30pm on the last day.
