Now that this new show, Compass, is in the mix, there’s gonna be a lot of brands that are going to have to decide where it’s best to show. The big dudes can afford to show in both if they please (though note that Converse chose to bypass WSA altogether), but smaller, budget-constrained designers often don’t have that kind of money ’cause trade shows aren’t cheap!. 

^^The lovely, talented, smart and funny Ce Ce Chin, designer/owner for 80%20, showed at the WSA, but not one to missed out on the action, we caught her playing hooky and visiting her pals at Compass.

A lot of the big dogs were at Compass, including Converse, New Balance, and Reebok. Converse (natch) wouldn’t let me photograph, NB didn’t appear to have anything for the ladies, but Reebok had plenty and mostly it was high and colorful. Here’s a sampling:

^^ Reebok Freestyle candy stripes in four delicioso flavours!

Lately the fashion world has not been feeling the color black. At all. But here in New York anyway, the darkest color of them all will return with the chilly, autumn breezes just as sure as the leaves will fall from the trees.

^^And when that happens, this Varvatos for Converse black, crocheted dress will be waiting.

Barneys just received a special edition Converse High Top! Very sleek…Definitely a classic…Love the patent leather detail..

On a recent trip to Journeys I came across the Cobain edition Converse line,I loved the idea and wish it happened when Kurt was alive …However this particular style, made to look worn…kind of puzzled me..

 I love everything grunge, but Is not the idea to actually wear your kicks so they  Get Beat Up?  Aside from Kurt’s Signature… there could have been so many other design options to Commemorate the Cutie Of Grunge…The low top with doodles is cool  (on the next page)..But the artificial Worn Look I can’t…

This is the Converse Chuck Taylor all star Low Profile part of the fall preview  ,this illustrates to me the circular trend of high -end labels getting inpiration from street icons like converse who then take inspiration from the now ever popular designer sneaker…No shoe laces…sleek and modern..Still authentic.
