Düsseldorf to host three shoe events in January

08/12/2004

Düsseldorf, Germany is set to host three major events from January 30 to February 1, 2005. The German town will see the first PRE-GDS held in parallel with cpd woman_man_kidz in and GDS - The Premier Shoe Event taking place from March 17020, 2005.

 

PRE-GDS is to be held concurrently with cpd woman_man_kidz in an attempt to build closer contact between footwear retailers. The shows will offer visitors a first insight into the new 2005/06 autumn/winter shoe fashions along with all of the latest footwear innovations.

 

PRE-GDS has been organised in response to the increasing demand for permanent, in-depth communication on style guidance and assured ordering. The early date assures retailers of a head start on the competition and gives them the edge in the market as they can pre-order at the show.

 

The new platform for shoe fashion, PRE-GDS will be ideally integrated into the visitor “circuit” of cpd woman_man_kidz. The diversity of shoe lines ranging from young and trendy to high-end collections will represent an international line-up of 100 women’s, men’s and children’s shoe manufacturers. Among exhibitors already registered are Donna Carolina, Franco Ballin, Maripé and the Wortmann Group as well as Mustang, Dr. Martens, Unisa, Venice and Lisa Tucci.
