POP UP Urban and alternative is the motto of the POP UP area – home to individual street and fashion scene styles. The progressive collections for the coming season and exciting newcomers fill this GDS lifestyle world with an unconventional spirit. The label Missy Rockz will present the first sneaker-look high heels at GDS while Easy Aw presents summer sandals which comfortably cling to any foot shape thanks to stretch straps. Traditional exhibitors at POP UP are A.R.T., Dr. Martens, El Naturalista,
Fly London, G-Star Raw Footwear, Havaianas, Levi’s Footwar, Nobrand, Panama Jack, Replay Footwear and Superga, to name but a few. Also well worth visiting is the POP UP Market: the trendy area set up
on the outdoor grounds in the neighbourhood of Hall 4, is staged like a bumper car attraction. It offers not only an inspiring atmosphere but also showcases hip brands with extraordinary products of particular interest for concept stores.
GDS Trend Programme Above and beyond all this, the GDS Trend Programme with catwalk shows, Trend Spots, Trend Codes and the Trend Talks provides inspiration galore and a wealth of information for retailers. While in a separate Catwalk Area of Hall 2 the GDS Fashion Shows present seasonal looks live every day, and the GDS Trend Spots flag up the key trends of the season in installations, the GDS Trend Codes deliver concrete outfit ideas and styling examples of shoes with matching fashion styling. In a series of Trend Talks experts share additional information on current fashion tendencies.
tag it! – The Private Label Show In parallel with GDS tag it! presents the trends in private labelling. The sourcing trade show focuses on shoes and accessories, international diversity as well as a wide variety of product, price and quality segments. This means it opens up new business opportunities – for the growing market of price-sensitive shoppers. Here international buyers can assemble their collections under optimum conditions and at the perfect point in time. Visitors interested in sourcing can also look forward to new private label collections. Exhibitors here will come from China, like Nanjing FJA and Quanzhou Esin, from Bangladesh like Tropical Shoes and Sonali, from India with Trading Places and Raj Shoes as well as from Pakistan like Shafi Lifestyle und Firhaj. There are also new exhibitors from South Africa and joint stands from Malaysia, South and North Vietnam.
