Well it was no Vegas but Denver rocked this years S.I.A. (SnowSports Industries America) Snow Show. The best booths especially captured buyers attention.
Amongst the best were…
Along with their fun colorful collection, Neff added a clean refined line this year that I especially liked, with free beanie giveaways they take home the prize for best S.W.A.G.
With a non stop live DJ, random dance parties and live art, Skull Candy had the most entertaining and perhaps most talked about booth at the show.
Year after year Coal makes the best hats in the business there clean lined wood grain display goes perfectly with the look they have come up with.
We love Airblaster and they know it therefor less is more. No need for fancy tricks here a simple tent and the product speaks for itself.
Volcom was the only booth doing design your own free tees and hats which is soooooo Volcom.
With the budget they shell out for these things it would be hard not to kill it. With a Casino theme and everything visible to everyone, Burton is not ashamed to say they still own the industry.
My personal favorite, Holden had the most tasteful and stylish display at the show. As for their product, they keep it so secret I can only reveal that they have some of the most unique best looking stuff coming out for 2011.
Designer shades just to hide your face (without the designer prices.) I was inter-shopping the other day and came across a great online store called 80’s purple. The best part was their large selection of $10 shades including the hottest style from the 80’s and today. Check it out:

I’m headed to NYC next week and can’t wait for a Uniqlo visit. The brand became popular in Japan in the late 90’s and currently has 760 locations there now. The NY Soho Store is the only US location. It’s basically a cheap American Apparel with better jeans!
Neubau Welt is an extensive encyclopedia of well over a thousand pictograms of everyday objects and obsessions large and small. They were created by designer Stefan Gandl. All of the objects shown in the book can also be found as Adobe Illustrator files on an included CD. Giving you the right to use the exclusive graphics and Neubau typefaces on your own work.
Neubau Welt contains everything any designer could possibly need but couldn’t find on Google. Unlike ClipArt, the smorgasbord of objects can be enlarged indefinitely. This also makes them extremely useful for architects and other creatives, who can integrate them into their presentations and visual models. You can also download individual sheets of images at: http://www.neubauladen.com/
