LONDON COLLECTIONS MEN JANUARY 2016 OPENS Our Coverage Sponsored by Paul Mayer Attitudes
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.
Paul Mayer is a Mover and Shaker:

Yesterday evening London Collections Men, the UK’s biggest showcase of menswear, was opened with an event at Spencer House in St James’s. Caroline Rush CBE, Dylan Jones OBE and Jefferson Hack hosted guests including industry figure heads, press, buyers, committee members and official London Collections Men ambassadors.
Today, at a private view of the new Designer Showrooms - now all under one roof at Victoria House - Chair of LCM, Dylan Jones OBE said: ‘I’d just like to welcome you to the 8th season of London Collections Men, with more shows, events and presentations than ever before. As well as our new show venue at 180 Strand, all the Designers Showrooms are now at Victoria House, making it easy for buyers and press to see the collections.
Thank you to our amazing sponsors without which this wouldn’t be possible, and to all our international visitors. This season we’re welcoming buyers and press from 42 countries. We have guests from Taiwan attending for the first time this year and more buyers coming from Japan than ever before.
This season we’re also launching the London Men’s Week talk series which is open to the public and which sold out immediately, with speakers including Nicola Formichetti, Kim Jones & Lev Tanju. We’ve taken over a screen on Piccadilly Circus, with thanks to Land Securities.
So, enjoy yourselves, and welcome to the greatest fashion capital in the world.’
