Bag’s Business Limited (BBL)’s Creative Director Yulia Kadamtseva and Chief Operations Officer Olya Kriuchkova were thrilled when they heard the news their brand new collection were awarded the APLF Newcomer Award.

The motto of third time winner of the Best of APLF Awards, LSR International is “Let all women wear our shoes”. It is inspired by the freedom of the warm and sunny Italian summers, according to the company’s designer, Andrea Santini.

During Fashion Access held in spring 2016, APLF interviewed Andrea Santini, lead designer of the Santini Group and its subsidiary LSR International.

The winners of the Best of APLF Awards (BOAA) September 2016 were announced on 23 September 2016 during Fashion Access and Cashmere World 2016. There were a total of 4 winners with 3 Fashion Access exhibits and 1 Cashmere World exhibit.

Fashion Access is delighted to welcome five Brazilian footwear manufacturers to the September fair this year.  After the extensive TV coverage and exposure of the Soccer World Cup in Brazil two years ago and this year’s highly successful Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, the image of Brazil as a stylish, colourful destination and youthful country will be implanted in the minds of Asian consumers. This will help pique their interest for Brazilian designed footwear.
