Beginning February 2017, FN Platform will be launching in New York City. The shoe trade show, which has exclusively taken place in Vegas up until now, will be launching in New York during Coterie. Since the show launched in Vegas in 2010, it has been one of North America's most influential footwear forums.

The show will take place bi-annually and take place during Coterie NYC inside the Javits Convention Center in New York City. It will premiere alongside Stitch, Moda, Edit, and the Accessories Show to further cater to the women's market and offer a head-to-toe buying experience. FN Platform NYC intends to be as prestigious as its West Coast counterpart.

In addition to the launch of FN Platform in NYC, Sole Commerce will also edit its show through a highly edited selection of brands for entry. Sole Commerce, a juried event, will be switching their focus to the luxury market. The show will sit alongside accessories at the center of the Coterie show floor.

“Each year, the show has continued to thrive and these additions will bring continued freshness and opportunity for both sides of the aisle,” said UBM Fashion Group, president of footwear, Leslie Gallin. “Footwear is a critical portion in the fashion landscape. The East Coast launch will offer a one-stop shopping experience while creating welcoming interest for new brands and retailers from all over the world."
