Hello and Welcome to Shoe Fair Online...

The festive season might be over for another year, but the respite from a tumultuous 2011 has given us all a renewed vigour to surge forward into 2012. The hurdles we jumped - well-heeled of course - has ensured we are thoroughly prepared for anything that comes our way. This year is going to be both busy and rewarding.

In this issue we reveal some of the exciting brands to look forward to at the upcoming Australian Shoe Fair from 12-14 February at the Sydney Exhibition Centre. Such as Jonart Industries who have successful created a collection inspired by the runways of Paris; or California Comforts who has achieved the almost impossible of combining comfort with fashionability.

As the February show looms, please join us on Facebook and Twitter to stay informed on the very latest.

Until next time,

For the Parisian INu

Looking for original designs that look like they walked straight off the Parisian catwalks into your local boutique, and are afforadable? IN.u are just the brand you've been searching for. Their origins lie in a small boutique in Paris's district Le Marais where the original designs were picked up by the globally renowned luxury retailer "Galereis Lafayette"(GL) for the spring summer 2008 collection. The luxury retailer gave their design team the following brief, 'to create a well finished, all-leather range drawing inspiration from the world's catwalks at an attainable rather than aspirational price'.

It can be a tricky balance keeping afoot of the fashion trends while ensuring you step comfortable in style. Vanity isn't always void of pain, too often we walk through the pain to wear in a new pair of heels or boots all in the name of looking good. Well that doesn't need to be the case. With its public debut at the Australian Shoe Fair 2012 in Sydney, California Comfort shoes of Brisbane is set to dazzle with its new, highly versatile and comfort-focused product line.

There is something so alluring about Italy. The culture, so rich and steeped in history, is evident throughout all aspects of their lifestyle, deeply entrenched in the core of their everyday. So when you see the 'Made in Italy tag' you are guaranteed a beautiful product, with an assurance of quality. It's for this reason, Jonart International (global footwear importers and distributors) specialise in over 600 styles all manufactured in Italy. Jonart has been manufacturing footwear since 1956 and has been hugely successful in all the markets it has entered. With offices in Italy, Switzerland, China and now Australia, Jonart export to over 20 countries around the world, predominately to Europe and USA.
