Düsseldorf shoe fairs on course for success

With new concepts, an optimised segmentation of ranges and an extended programme of supporting events, GDS is now pitched in a clearly more fashion-driven style and confirmed as a key driver for the international shoe and leathergoods industry. Exhibitors from Italy and the United Kingdom but also from the USA are taking an increasing interest in the event held at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre. The spring 2008 editions of GDS and GLS will bring together approximately 1,400 exhibitors from 45 countries, to present their new shoe and bag collections for autumn/winter 2008/2009 as well as trends for the current season.

GDS also offers a programme of supporting events comprising trend lectures, product-oriented workshops and roundtables, the TrendVision plus various fashion shows ranging from the Upper Style Show and the Trend Show to the Young Fashion Show. There will be a topical trend programme staging footwear trends with matching complete outfits.
Complementing the GDS footwear ranges, GLS International Event for Leathergoods & More will present selected fashionable leather accessories such as bags, belts and gloves. The leathergoods trade fair is themed to integrate with the GDS ranges. Based on the project ‘German Bag Designer’ the design area will be extended to include bags, leather accessories, jewellery and shoes by international designers.
The dates in 2008 for the three fairs at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre are from March 14 -16 and from September 12 – 14, 2008.
