REVIEW

‘Gallery SHOES & Fashion Industrial Showroom’

18 – 20 April 2021

“Despite all the current restrictions in place, we are thrilled that we were able to get this one-off ‘Gallery SHOES & Fashion Industrial Showroom’ special edition off the ground as an exclusive service for the industry. But we are obviously delighted that the next events in our seasonal portfolio – Gallery FASHION & Shoes in July 2021 and Gallery SHOES & Fashion at the end of August 2021 – are still being planned to go ahead on the regular, scheduled dates.”

STATEMENTS EXHIBITORS AND ASSOCIATIONS

to the special edition of Gallery SHOES & Fashion in April 2021

The main thing is to use the platform for personal encounters

“Of course, the focus on this late order event is no longer on actual seasonal orders, which we usually complete by the end of March. At this stage, it’s mainly about using the platform to meet up with people in person, whilst adhering, of course, to all the safety measures in place. We will be showcasing a small part of our collection that can be ordered later and sent out on a later delivery date.”

Pepijn van Bommel, Commercial Director at FLORIS VAN BOMMEL

Right now it is important for us to show our customers that we are here for them

“In these difficult times, every company should be making wise decisions – such as choosing to participate in the upcoming edition of Gallery. It’s important for us to show our customers that we are here for them, especially right now. We’re looking forward to finally being able to see our partners live and in person! Even though the event is taking place so late in the season, everyone knows that this is down to the exceptional circumstances of COVID. There’s no such thing as too early or too late in that respect. And there are so many new shoes out there, not to mention all the interesting, innovative projects waiting to be finally discussed!”

Karim Choukair, Geschäftsführer und Mitinhaber von Melvin & Hamilton

Gallery Shoes in April 2021 offers information that can change the market for the better

“Looking beyond the lockdown, the April 2021 edition of Gallery Shoes provides us (and also the retailers) with the opportunity to come and be informed about ways to change the market for the better. We will show our support by taking orders for as long as possible.”

Norbert Klauser von der Modeagentur Klauser

Live encounters simply have a completely different quality of communication than digital meetings

"During these unprecedented times, the industry urgently needs some semblance of normality in the form of face-to-face meetings and direct contact with new products and collections. They also agree that, as well as being able to order product ranges with later delivery dates, the feeling of being able to resume business again – albeit still with restrictions – is vital from a mental perspective. “Live, face-to-face encounters take communication to a whole new level compared with digital meetings."

Manfred Junkert, General Manager of the HDS/L German Federal Association of the Footwear and Leather Goods Industry

We have already made many appointments

"We look forward participating and supporting the international shoe business. We already made a lot of appointments. Which we hope other exhibitors can also benefit from. "

Louise Fjord Pedersen Export & Purchase Manager Bundgaard

Düsseldorf is all about salt and pepper for the assortments

"We are back with our own stand and are fighting to get our retailers to come to the special edition of Gallery SHOES & Fashion. Not only from Germany, but also from Benelux. Düsseldorf is all about salt and pepper for the assortments. A little spice can't hurt."

Günter Neunaber, CEO Rexor Shoe buying association Düsseldorf

For me it is very important to participate in the Industrial Showroom as an exhibitor.

For me it is very important to participate in the Industrial Showroom Gallery SHOES & Fashion as an exhibitor. I meet the small customers there who are looking for something special. The late date is OK. Everything is delayed this season anyway. We can meet delivery dates for August."

Marco Bignotti, Sales Agent Marian, Spain

In Düsseldorf I will order the so-called icing on the cake for my assortment

"I will definitely come to the special edition of Gallery SHOES & Fashion. I appreciate the atmosphere at the Areal Böhler and would like to get an idea of the new collections on site again this time. I go for individuality instead of uniformity. In Düsseldorf I will order the so-called icing on the cake for my assortment."

Anke Zimmermann, Owner Rosa Valenz, Bad Honnef

My opinion: we should stick with Düsseldorf

"I assume that many smaller retailers will place their orders as late as possible because of the very special situation. However, we are only on site with Zinda because we can guarantee the usual delivery dates with this brand. Even if we only have a small stand - the main thing is that we are present. My opinion: we should stick with Düsseldorf."

Agency Gudi Fokkens, Sales Agent Zinda, Spain

We will definitely come to Düsseldorf

"We will definitely come to Düsseldorf. And I'm already looking forward to surprises. We need them these days. Not only us, but also our customers."

Raimund Cordes, Owner Cordes Schuhe, Herzebrock-Clarholz

We are flying the flag and hope that the mood will have lightened a bit by then

"We are flying the flag and hope that the mood will have lightened a bit by then. It is important that the shops can open and that the stock situation improves. Then the event will be successful."

Rainer Barth, Owner Barth Shoes

We will definitely come to Düsseldorf.

"We will definitely come to Düsseldorf. We are looking for decorators for our assortments. Our aim is to revitalise existing ranges or shoes in a new and attractive way through an appealing presentation."

Anne Vosspeter, Managing Director Müller/Peppermint, Gütersloh
