"As someone who has attended and been involved with multiple shows worldwide and has seen the good and bad, I am happy to say that FSNYE created and run by Phyllis Rein is a show that is doing things right. This should come as no surprise as Phyllis previously has been instrumental in the FFANY events in NY for years. As someone heavily involved with Fashion accessories, I will tell people that if you want to be in business then be in the business. This show is a way to get your brand exposed meet contacts for many areas of need and not just getting orders from retailers. Phyllis and her team understand that bringing in the retailers as well as support services is a priority as well as being extremely cost effective for the exhibitors. I had with me one of Modern Pulses clients who I wanted to expose this show to. They were extremely impressed and have already signed up to do the next show that will take place in June 2026.
My compliments to Phyllis and FSNYE, keep up the good work.
The footwear industry needs you!"
