Gallery Shoes aims to keep covid away

07/07/2021
Germany-based show Gallery Fashion & Shoes is preparing for return to in-person events, with added talks – and the stipulation that visitors are vaccinated, tested or have recently recovered from covid-19.

Ulrike Kähler, managing director of show organiser Igedo Company, said: “Exchange and inspiration are more important than ever. Customers want to be surprised and wowed with new ideas and insights. 

“A direct, personal connection is key here: whether in the ordering of new collections or at the point of sale itself. That’s why we have also added extra industry talks on topical issues to our accompanying line-up.”

Around 300 brands have signed up to exhibit. These include Alfa Romeo, Avirex, Baci Fashion, Bugatti, Fratelli Rossetti, Maliparmi, Mario Valentino, Manila Grace Maserati, Roshan Paul and Scotch & Soda.

The show, which had been delayed earlier in the year, will run from July 24 to 26 at the Areal Böhler in Düsseldorf.
