• The Super Slippers, one-of-a-kind works of art up for a silent auction, created by renowned exhibiting designers who exhibit within The Collections at WSA; proceeds benefit The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) • The Glass Slipper Exhibitor Awards cocktail party, offering creative talent awards for suite designs within The Collections at WSA; buyers and press are welcome to attend • Conference sessions and seminars focusing on consumer and fashion trends by noted fashion and retail experts • Opening Night at WSA featuring master entertainer, Billy Joel, to benefit the footwear industry's own charities, Soles 4 Souls and The Two Ten Footwear Foundation
“The Collections at WSA remains the ideal platform for exhibitors to present their newest collections to the most important luxury retailers, as it's the only tradeshow of its kind where you can find such a vast array of high-end shoes, handbags and jewelry under one roof,” said Leslie Gallin, director of The Collections at WSA. “No longer is there the need for the buyer to travel abroad when all of this and more is available at the twice-yearly The Collections at WSA show.”
Adding to the excitement of The Collections at WSA, Materials at WSA, a unique and edited assortment of innovative materials and component suppliers, will launch this February alongside The WSA Show. Of particular interest to designers of luxury goods, many of the finest tanneries and suppliers of components and embellishments will add a critical new dimension to this global marketplace, enabling the exhibitors of The Collections at WSA to source primary materials necessary for development in one convenient location.
