The German trade fair organizer, Igedo, indicated that Gallery Fashion & Shoes will be held from Jan. 30 to Feb.1 and Gallery Shoes & Fashion will run from March 7 to 9 in Düsseldorf. The company confirmed the format introduced last year resulting from the merger of footwear, apparel and accessories.
Ulrike Kähler, Igedo’s managing director and project director, said that the company has already received the first confirmations for the January edition. The registration deadline for Gallery Fashion & Shoes has been extended to mid-December for exhibitors. Visitor registration is already open.
Igedo is offering to put brands that cannot be present in Germany in contact with agencies that exhibit at the show.
Traditionally, Gallery Shoes was held in March and in August and Gallery Fashion in January and July. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, in August 2020, Igedo decided to merge the two shows and hold four editions a year but with different weightings per category. In March and September, the focus in on footwear and in January and July on apparel.
