Gallery SHOES Gallery SHOES vom 11. bis 13. März 2018 Gallery SHOES from 11 March to 13 March 2018 Die Gallery SHOES ging gut gestärkt, topfit und mit internationalem Rückenwind in die 2. Ausgabe. Die Nachfrage war auch für den Termin im März 2018 ungebrochen hoch. Über 500 Brands aus 17 Ländern präsentierten in Düsseldorf auf dem Areal Böhler ihre Neuheiten für den Herbst/Winter 2018/19. With a surge in interest among international exhibitors, Gallery SHOES had been well prepared for its second edition. The huge demand had been continued unabated for the edition in March 2018. Over 500 brands from 17 countries presented their collections for Autumn/Winter 2018/19.

At the next edition of Gallery Shoes, more than 350 exhibitors coming from 17 countries and representing around 500 brands will be hosted at the ex-industrial complex of Areal Bohler, in an exhibition space that has been extended by around 1,900 square metres. The organisers underline that the bigger exhibition area, which will see the addition of the new Kaltstahlhalle section in the Premium Zone, is mainly aimed at welcoming a greater number of European brands, more than increasing the size of pre-existing stands, with the intention of offering an even more complete and interesting panorama of fashion footwear.

This carefully considered extension of the area is accompanied by an increase in the number of available services, including parking facilities and infrastructures.

Another novelty of the up-and-coming edition regards the main entrance, which has been upgraded with a more extensive covered area and the possibility of accessing taxis directly from the fair’s entrance. The outdoor area will be completed by food stalls and areas for relaxing and socializing, in keeping with the laid-back feeling of the grounds in a typical summer spirit.

“The aim – comments Ulrike Kähler, Managing Director of Igedo Company and Project Director of Gallery Shoes – is to offer the best possible service to European buyers attending the event. The Show is proving more popular than ever and people’s commitment to it is also growing”.

At the next edition in September, the event’s business orientation will be integrated by a series of collateral events of interest to professional operators.
