400 brands sign up for inaugural Momad Shoes

01/03/2016
Ifema, organiser of the new Momad Shoes exhibition in Madrid, has said 400 footwear and accessory brands will take part. The inaugural Momad Shoes event takes place in the Spanish capital on March 4-6.

Ifema ran Modacalzado as a dedicated footwear event twice a year in Madrid until 2013. Early attempts to integrate a footwear exhibition into the wider fashion event Momad Metrópolis left many footwear companies, long-term exhibitors at Modacalzado, feeling dissatisfied. In October 2015 Ifema announced it would run Momad Shoes as a separate event, a month later in the calendar than Momad Metrópolis.

Total exhibition space reserved by brands is 9,000 square-metres. There will be six segments exhibiting new collections representing high end, young fashion, casual, large volume, new designers and children.
