SEE MANHATTAN ON YOUR FEET WITH THE LEOPARD LOAFER BY A. MARINELLI

Whom You Know always gets so excited when we kick off coverage of a new shoe brand to us, and today we are thrilled to start covering A. Marinelli. We knew they would be great because they are the same people that make Anna Capri, and that line is simply divine.

A great look for fall, this leopard loafter screams style with class.

Its proper name is ZULU.

Many brands do animal prints to an extreme that just does not end up being an appealing look, but A. Marinelli did it right the the Zulu. Also, these are practical with sensible treads ready to take on the Manhattan streets for fall.

Be sure to get your pair!

And after reading the below we are sad to know that the shoe fair is no longer in The Plaza.

A. Marinelli, did you meet Eloise when you were there?

They tell us:

THE A. MARINELLI TEAM…DOING IT AGAIN…DOING IT BETTER!

A. Marinelli Shoes & Accessories will introduce its premier collection at New York City’s Plaza Hotel during Fashion Footwear Market Week, June 2-5, 1996.

The new company was formed to meet the increasing demand for a line of updated, better quality women’s casual footwear and accessories. According to Tony Marinelli, Chairman and CEO, “There is a healthy demand for casual shoes in the upper moderate category. We are looking forward to filling that niche by offering a well-balanced line of quality casual footwear that is easy to wear, stylish and comfortable. The real challenge is to make a comfortable shoe that is attractive enough to wear to work.”

A. Marinelli Shoes & Accessories has assembled a team of seasoned professionals who have worked together very successfully in the past and will continue to blend their talents, knowledge and experience. It is interesting to note that they will all be partners in the business as well.

Tony Marinelli, is the driving force behind the new company. With over 23 years of experience in every facet of the footwear business and co-founder of Unisa, one of the most successful companies in the industry, Mr. Marinelli is highly regarded and widely recognized for his innovative yet commercial approach.

Barry Schwartz, President, oversees sales and marketing as well as operations. Mr. Schwartz, previously with Burdines and Unisa, has extensive experience in the wholesale and retail footwear, apparel and accessories industries and is well respected in the marketplace.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
