February 3 – Fashion United – Luxury children’s footwear brand Young Soles has announced it is expanding in the U.S. following its incorporation as Young Soles Inc late last year.

Since its incorporation, the brand said it has engaged a warehouse in St Louis, implemented a fully integrated EDI system, and developed a dedicated USA e-commerce site set to launch in February.

The expansion also includes the appointment of experienced fashion sales consultant Diane Hudson as the national sales manager for Young Soles. (Lyn Buksbaum at LC Collections is the New York sales rep.)

“We are very excited by the investment and commitment that Young Soles are showing to the U.S. children’s footwear market,” Hudson said in a statement. “The U.S. is not a country that you can manage at arm’s length and I am very excited to be leading the team to make Young Soles as big a success this side of the Atlantic as it is everywhere else.”
