The Zeto makes it to Paris Fashion Week via Taboo

June 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The new Zeto makes an appearance at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week on the heels of Taboo and in the company of the Peas.  I spoke to him yesterday and he assured me that fortunately, everything was cool regarding the debacle with Perez Hilton in Toronto.  These guys and gal, always look so damn fresh!

Kellan Lutz

Kellan Lutz came by the store today and picked up the Vanquish in Black Silver Kid Crystal.  Get them here. He played one of the vampires in Twilight and apparently they’re already working on the 4th one.  It’s an insane franchise.  I watched it and actually quite liked it contrary to thinking it’d be just for 13 year old girls.  He was also on 90210 and will be in Meskada.

When you’re hot, you’re hot.  The Vanquish continues to outperform itself, week after week.  This week was a tie between the Grey Nappa and the Violet Croco Patent.  Here’s the good news: we’re coming out with new colorways of these materials.  Keep you posted!

Bobo hearts the Vanquish.

June 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Everyday I come home, I find Bobo nestled amongst my shoes, most of the time on the Grey Nappa, probably because they’re so soft.  This time she built a fort.

Tony Dovolani from Dancing With The Stars

June 19, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s even a bit strange to me that all of a sudden, celebrities have become so enthralled with our shoes.  I guess the more I think about it, it makes sense because on any sort of screen, JUMP will actually pop.  With shoes, sometimes they’re just an accessory to the total outfit but these days I find myself dressing my outfit around my shoes.  Ha!  Here’s Tony Dovolani from Dancing With The Stars wearing the Vigor in Navy.  These are available at our store in SoHo.

This Week’s Best Seller

June 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Vanquish in Grey Nappa.  It’s just an amazingly comfortable shoe.  When we did these for Travel Fox back in the day, people loved these because the were so incredibly soft.  This leather is like straight buttah and we’re finding that this deep grey color is becoming very important.  Get them at Bloomingdale’s!

BEP on The View X JUMP

June 14, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The Peas are literally everywhere.  When I get in a cab, turn on the radio, watch TV and even when I’m just walking around.  They are truly ubiquitously omnipresent and they are doing it in style wearing JUMP!  I have to thank them and Taboo in particular for all the support.  But it’s just the beginning.  Look at how dope that Zeto looks on Taboo!!!!!  It’s an exclusive one-off.  I need those for myself.

It’s been the most exciting FFANY show ever.

June 11, 2009 · 3 Comments

FFANY  stands for Fashion Footwear Association of New York.  It’s like the mini fashion week for shoes.  Honestly, it’s not usually very exciting though I hear in the old days it was something else.  However, this season’s has been something special.  It started when I received some shoes I’d been waiting for night and day for weeks.  We’ve had and continue to have amazing success with the Vanquish in all the beautiful materials.  A while back when I’d met Taboo and The Black Eyed Peas, he mentioned we should do a collabo.  Light bulbs flickering and Boom Boom Pow, I kindly asked Larry to put some of our best materials on our newest and soon to be hottest style, the Zeto for Tab.  And boy did he deliver.  Here are the results.

And Captain Lawrence outdoes himself again.  So after what turned out to be a really productive afternoon (read wine and cheese consumption) at the showroom with Zappos, I had to meet Taboo at the store to present him with these shoes for our project and on the way I saw Shawn Pean, my buyer from Saks waiting for a cab with two of his colleagues so Marco, Chris and I scooped him and his crew up in the Jumpmobile (an old school Benz ML).  Mind you, I had only seen these the day before and so they were truly making their debut but of course I had to show Shawn and of course, he loved them!  More light bulbs and we we decided we’d have to do an event with BEP at Saks and introduce these looks there.  Brilliance.

When we got the store, Taboo showed up and we showed him the new illness.  He literally said, “OH FUHSCHNIZZLES.”  Just kidding.  He said something else and was totally floored.  I told him about introducing our collab at Saks and he was all over it.

There he is in the throne wearing the Zeto in Grey Ivis Patent and Nappa.

Here he is with the Green Purple Reflex Patent and something dope combo I don’t even know what to call yet.

And of course, here’s the whole team.

This is going to be a long post.  Afterwards we had our company dinner at Antique Garage down the road and as you can see here, had a great time as usual.

Harry, our CEO is crazy.  Gotta love him.

After that we hit up Richie Rich’s party for Chris Coffee at Garden in the Sky at the Cooper Square Hotel.  Great party, open bar and the weather was perfect for it.  I’d been wondering what the building was.  It’s got a really interesting design.

So last night we hit up the Black Eyed Peas album release party at Griffin (old PM) in Meatpacking which was another dope party.  Taboo was kind of enough to put me on the list to an otherwise completely exclusive event.  Top shelf open bar and we saw just about every celebrity in the world there and I got to introduce Shawn and the Saks crew to the Peas.  Great karma.
