11/07/2016
The next edition of footwear fair GDS, which will take place from July 26 to 28 in Dusseldorf, will see the attendance of over 900 brands. There will be 740 exhibitors at the main GDS show and a further 170 at ‘tag it!’ (formerly Global shoes), which features private label shoe brands.

“This means we continue to offer a unique range: here retailers can gather comprehensive information on all market segments and there is also a varied supporting programme,” said Werner Matthias Dornscheidt, CEO at the fair’s organisers Messe Düsseldorf.

GDS’s three lifestyle worlds Studio, High Street and Pop Up will offer those attending a broad overview of the international collections. July’s edition will mark the first time visitors will be offered shows featuring items from the three worlds on every day of the fair.

“It is about variety – retail needs impulses through new brands but also via established exhibitors,” said Kirstin Deutelmoser, director of GDS and tag it!.
