Last Wednesday night, shoe lovers gathered at The Curated NYC, the multi-brand boutique curated by Christian Siriano, to celebrate the Ruthie Davis shop-in-shop.

The two CFDA members began their friendship after attending several mutual industry events. When Siriano was looking for a shoe brand for The Curated, he knew just whom to ask. And the CFDA was there to help.

“He went to Lisa Smilor at the CFDA and said, ‘What do you think about Ruthie Davis?,’ and Lisa said ‘I’ll give you her contact, she’d be great!’” Davis recalled. “One day, Christian just emailed me and when the email came through I thought that someone else must have the same name. It took me a minute to realize it was him because he’s so humble. And I came and met with him and we thought, ‘Well, this could work out. And so now we’re doing it!”

Ruthie’s shop-in-shop at The Curated NYC includes her Spring-Summer 2019, Pre-Fall and Fall-Winter 2019 collections. Check it out at 5 West 54th Street now!
