Many brands and companies have made good use of the crisis
At Gallery SHOES & Fashion it was very clear that many brands and companies have made good use of the crisis to work on extended themes and expand their ranges. Sustainability is generally one of the most important criteria that are becoming more and more visible. The theme was already noticeably present at this event, both on the exhibitor side and in the supporting programme.
Brigitte Wischnewski, President BDSE Trade Association Shoes
The Gallery SHOES went much better than expected
The order event went much better than expected under the current circumstances. The order behaviour and the industry exchange were very good, the attendees were in a positive mood.
Manfred Junkert, Chief Executive Officer of HDS/L e.V.
The event was very well and professionally organized under Corona conditions.
We saw visits from both existing, recovered and new customers and the mood was cautious but optimistic. The consistent opinion was that an on-site event is absolutely important and necessary and cannot be replaced by purely digital offerings in the long run. The personal exchange, professional discussions as well as the presentation of the collections are an important aspect for our customers, especially in the current situation. We are very happy to have had the opportunity to present our brands in the professionally organized framework and look forward to the next season and the Gallery Shoes!
Christiane Peek, Managing Director Fashion Agency Evelyn Muth/ CLM Shoes & Accessories GmbH
New start: good frequency, good collections, good mood
Gallery SHOES was characterised by confidence in trade and industry. The industry is starting the S/S 2022 season on an optimistic note. Finally, the aisles are crowded again and the stands are busy. Retailers from Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium took the opportunity to view the new collections for S/S 2022.

Shoe fair Gallery Shoes: Highlight search and sourcing worries
Gallery Shoes in Düsseldorf is one of the most important order events in the shoe industry. The shoe trade fair Gallery SHOES & Fashion in Düsseldorf provided a lot of optimism in the course of ordering for spring 2022, but also highlighted major challenges.

Formats will also be merged in the future
The special format with the joint presentation for fashion, shoes and accessories at the same time was positively received by the industry. The concept serves as a blueprint for us, so that in 2022 we plan continue the format with the four usual trade fair dates per year – but with the respective weighting per date (January & July FASHION and March & September SHOES).
Be it shoes, fashion or accessories, we present brands in an up-to-date manner and appropriate to the genre so as to optimally convey their individual image.
