Düsseldorf fashion platform introduces new logo

To kick off the new season, the Düsseldorf fashion platform is presenting its new logo: instead of Gallery, in the future the tradeshow will be known as ‘Gallery FASHION’ – as a consistent counterpart to its sister fair ‘Gallery SHOES’.

New logo to combined power of the show

“It’s not just a stylistic matter, but also a clear message to the market: these two shows are firmly established and perfectly complement one other,” sums up Ulrike Kähler, Managing Director of Igedo Company and Project Director of both formats. “Gallery FASHION has the same potential as Gallery SHOES, also in terms of using the Areal Böhler to its full capacity, with the option of an additional three temporary lightweight halls. In these times of great upheaval and change, we are offering stability with our contemporary, practical and efficient concepts.

The show is hoping to see the biggest growth in the SHOWROOM CONCEPT. “Meanwhile well established, this appealing concept is really making waves. For the upcoming edition we will be supporting the SHOWROOM CONCEPT with a specific panel talk in cooperation with key industry players as part of the line-up,” continues Ulrike Kähler.

SHOWROOM CONCEPT

After starting out eight seasons ago with a smaller section in one hall, Gallery has meanwhile become a hotspot for top international agencies and premium brands. The SHOWROOM CONCEPT meanwhile takes up three entire halls, where business is done and orders are placed for a total of five to ten days. The concept is a smart, temporary alternative to showrooms with long-term leases. It gives professional buyers and exhibitors a practical overview and saves them money, effort and time in the process. In addition to providing a space for arranged appointments, the SHOWROOM CONCEPT also profits from the professional visitors who visit the original three-day core event, Gallery FASHION. All in all, it offers the ideal atmosphere for doing business and placing orders – in a trendy industrial-style location alongside compatible exhibitors and visitors and with a practical shuttle service.

Side Events

An informative accompanying line-up with carefully curated side events rounds off Gallery FASHION’s offer. In addition to attention-grabbing collection presentations, panel talks, presentations and a trend area that will be providing store design inspiration in the ‘Alte chmiedehallen’, Gallery FASHION TRENDVIEW is once again being planned as a central order overview for the coming season. Trend expert Karolina Landowski and Igedo Fashion Director Alexander Radermacher will be giving a talk on the most important ladies’ and menswear order looks. Which key looks will define the autumn/winter 2020/21 season and what are the absolute order must-haves? Save the date: Sunday, 26 January 2020, 10:30 am in the Alte Schmiedehallen at Areal Böhler. Further details about the line-up will be following soon.
