1. Paul Mayer Attitudes

Paul was so popular, every time we went to see him he had buyers ordering. So we are using his Mover and Shaker picture...
About our pal Paul:
Paul Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs keep women coming back for multiple -- even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet contemporary and always comfortable, his shoes are an addiction that we highly recommend. A staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat, with true ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of colors and materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent infused soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's designs emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the most incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear because we know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Mayer founded the brand in 2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are manufactured in Spain’s Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a skilled staff of 12 artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world attention to detail that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching as well as custom tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each retailer’s specific demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders completed in an unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks. When not in New York, Paul can be found traveling to his myriad of stores across the country meeting his loyal clientele or vacationing in his favorite spot, the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach.

2. Geiger
Connie St. George of Geiger, Hansgeorg Geiger (his grandmother started the brand) and Peachy Deegan. Of course, they are all wearing Geiger.
Austrian Luxury Brand GEIGER is excited to introduce its newest collection to the US market. 2015 features fun colors and styles that can take you from the office to a dinner engagement or from the grocery store to the soccer game. Geiger has tapped all its resources to find out what today's woman wants to see in our Collection. With the input of the Geiger children and feedback from around the world the new “Geiger” look has arrived. This over 100-year-old family owned business is stronger than ever with its new twist on an old favorite: the Tyrolean jacket. Today's version features body hugging lightweight boiled wool that wraps around your body and accents all the positives while concealing the negatives. New buttons, contrast trims and accents make each style a one of a kind item that is sure to get you noticed. Geiger didn't forget our classic customer either. You can still find all those basic items necessary to build an outstanding wardrobe. Some good old favorites in new colors and a few updated versions of a classic cut. We also remembered the sport conscious individual! Each new collection features a Sport section of casual and fun pieces for the woman on the go. Whatever your lifestyle and wherever you live, there's something for everyone in GEIGER's new Collections. Classics reinvented inspired by the Gatsby Era, action heroes from the 50's & 60's and classic beauties like Grace Kelly.

Emilio Cavallini is a Mover and Shaker:
Creativity and cutting edge technologies are the two assets of Stilnovo, a company which was founded in 1970 and produces and distributes hosiery and seamless garments worldwide.
Emilio Cavallini is the founder and the intuitive mind behind the company. He has made Stilnovo into one of the most competitive companies in its field. The Cavallini style has become known as innovative and ahead of fashion trends.
Throughout the creation of a collection, Emilio Cavallini's thought is to make hosiery no longer a simple intimate garment but an accessory which complements and makes a simple and personal outfit special. Every season Stilnovo upgrades his products to bring an edge to women all around the world.Since the beginning Stilnovo has upgraded hosiery to a new level and turned wearing tights into a rewarding experience.
The items produced are: ladies tights, over the knee, knee-highs, socks and seamless garments, and the line is divided into crochets, fishnets, jacquards, devoré, printed and metallic.
In its 40 years of hosiery experience, Stilnovo has also channeled its know-how in body-wear, producing for the first seamless garments. Highly automated machines allow Stilnovo to work with micro fiber and also natural fiber such as: cotton, pure wool, viscose, silk and cashmere.
All the production phases knitting, dying, ironing, printing, finishing and packing, take place in San Miniato (near Florence-Italy).
And here is one new friend we made...stay tuned to see if this brand rises to the review occasion!

Happy March! Spring fashion is coming soon!
