Matikos are Coming!
Ever since we met the team from Matiko Shoes at LA Market Week last season, we’ve jonzed hard for their footwear magic. Every silhouette is positively buzzworthy, every heel height is this season’s must have! I’ve been tottering around in the Pabla Gladiator Wedge, 4.5″ of pure urban vixen vamp - without the toe-crunching torture of course. These expertly crafted strappy sandals are cushy in the footbed, highly breathable and only look dangerous. Get yours at the fab new Matiko Shoes website.

Ximena Valero Grabs Headlines @ Apparel News
Ximena Valero’s debut show opened LA Market Week and grabbed front page ink at Apparel News. The runway event was hosted by our friends and clients Fashion Business Inc., powered by Buzzflikr PR and drew a standing room crowd to FBI’s new headquarters at the CMC.
The Mexican-born designer has recently claimed West Coast soil to develop her brand and reposition manufacturing. She participated in FOCUS with a booth right next to Buzzflikr’s CATCH A BUZZ Lounge, met with several editors and opened one new retail account. The collection of drapey jersey silhouettes is represented at several marque boutiques in Los Angeles. We are excited to be collaborating with this talented young designer, so watch this space for more news!
