ABOUT FFANY

Founded in 1979, The Fashion Footwear Association of New York, known as FFANY, is a non-profit trade association representing footwear manufacturers globally. FFANY’s mission is to promote and assist the common business interests of our members, who include over 300 footwear manufacturers, representing over 800 fashion footwear brands.

FFANY’s primary focus is producing the tradeshows: The New York Shoe Expo and the FFANY Collections held at venues such as Pier 94 Convention Center, the Hilton New York hotel, Flatotel and FFANY member showrooms. Held in February, June, August and December, the goal of these tradeshows is to create one marketplace in New York City, the fashion capital of the world, where exhibiting footwear manufacturers and attending retailers can efficiently buy, sell and develop business networks.

FFANY is committed to philanthropy by “giving back” to its members and the footwear industry. Through the donations of its members companies, FFANY’s charitable event “Shoes on Sale” has raised nearly $30 million for breast cancer research and education. FFANY also supports scholarship programs and charitable organizations within the footwear industry.

Welcome and thank you for visiting FFANY.
