GDS PREVIEW


international event for shoes & accessories and leading trade show for sourcing 10 to 13 September 2013


Talbot Runhof and Gerry Weber: prominent new additions to GDS Michael Kors and Stuart Weitzman celebrate kidwalk premiere


S


ome 800 exhibitors from over 30 countries have announced their interest in presenting the latest footwear fashion of the 2014 S/S season at the upcoming edition of GDS to be


held in Dusseldorf, Germany. Some prominent new additions such as Talbot Runhof and Gerry Weber are among them. They’ll present their collections at GDS for the first time. An extensive supporting programme with fashion shows, lectures and company events supplements the main event.


Shoes for any taste: from Lady Gaga to Fred Astaire The premium area featuring the theme worlds


white cubes, prime2 and upper style presents exclusive brands in a luxurious ambiance. New additions will include the German-American couture label Talbot Runhof, among others. Small details on a shoe account for the brilliance of its look. Subtle elegance that makes a statement – that’s the designer duo’s credo.


26 • FOOTWEAR TODAY • AUGUST 2013 The British luxury label Crisian & McCaffrey will


be another new addition. Typical for them are sexy snake, lizard or crocodile high heels mixed with Gothic elements – as worn happily by stars such as Lady Gaga. The young German label Binné - Designed in Hamburg represents the polar opposite. Their focus is on turning classic Fred Astaire brogues in the style of the 1930s into smart, elegant women’s shoes. Sendra Boots, known for cowboy boots, will launch their welted men’s shoe line at GDS. Other new additions will include Miss Klein with her first collection of exclusive and beautifully crafted women’s shoes and what’s more alive than you (WMATY) with their exceptional pumps, lace-ups and high heels.


The theme worlds superior and essential are a


presentation forum for sophisticated brands catering to a wider market. The most prominent new addition in this area will be Gerry Weber, but


smaller labels will also be making their first appearance, among them Stepanjan with their high-quality business shoes and Pret a Porter and Marian with their new women’s shoe lines. Guliver from Hungary and Condur from Romania are newcomers making sure Eastern Europe is represented, too.


The theme worlds urban authentic, urban


active & urban fresh are all about being “inspired by street life.” That’s where NZA New Zealand Auckland with their new footwear collection will be ready to go, among others.


Other new additions will include, for example,


Lemon Jelly from Portugal with stylish rubber boots, El Campero with their rugged leather boots, Calou with their Swedish-style clogs and the Flossy line by Frenzi Wear featuring plimsolls – canvas slippers with a flexible rubber sole.
