Cool-Hunters
A team of trendy, fashion worthy "cool-hunters" travelling across the globe every month to bring you the latest goings on within the influential cities of the fashion world. Taking hundreds of footwear retail photos from each location every month, they return in-house to gather and form viable retail reports. Working closely together, retail trend reports are then formulated - putting together both imagery and wording for retail trends to ensure the full effect of the trend is clearly conveyed across.

Our Cool-Hunters also team-up on a seasonal basis to overlook the latest happenings from the unmissable fashion shows of Paris, New York, London & Milan. Together they create reports based on the key trends from the catwalks; through various presentations and collecting together the key imagery to create a seasonal collection of informative yet attractive footwear trend and colour reports.

Design Team
Often working closely with our team of cool-hunters, our in-house designers produce attractive retail and trend reports for easy viewing. After meetings and discussions with the cool-hunters, the design team reproduce the key styles from both monthly and seasonal trends in the form of illustrative footwear keyshape drawings, which our subscribers can then download and re-use as templates.

The Design Team also keep themselves busy in close association with our IT group, ensuring our website is kept both attractive and manageable for easy viewing.
