Opening

Gallery FASHION & Shoes

24 – 26 July 2021

Showroom Concept

22 – 26 July 2021

“The preparations for Gallery FASHION & Shoes are in full swing. We’re looking forward to the upcoming event on the usual scheduled date: but of course only for individuals who have been vaccinated, tested, or who have recently recovered from COVID-19. Exchange and inspiration are more important than ever. Customers want to be surprised and wowed with new ideas and insights! A direct, personal connection is key here: whether in the ordering of new collections or at the POS itself. That’s why we have also added extra industry talks on topical issues to our accompanying line-up. The Areal Böhler has meanwhile developed into a hip location with impressive catering offers – an added bonus for all our visitors during their time here.”

AREAL BÖHLER PARK

The Areal Böhler has meanwhile established itself as a new hotspot with three cool catering offers: ‘Les Halles’, ‘Böhler Café’ and ‘MagazinDrei’ all reflect the new attitude in the AREAL BÖHLER PARK, a cool urban oasis that will attract people from beyond Düsseldorf’s borders with its authentic, industrial vibe. A new modern venue that is different to the usual city-centre culinary experiences and the place to come for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the four annual Gallery order events, it represents an additional attraction for all industry visitors to the Areal Böhler – in the form of stylishly designed cocoons for working, networking and relaxing that are tailored perfectly to the discerning fashion, shoes and lifestyle crowd.

 

Les Halles – La Piscine Café | Restaurant | Club | Bar

French charm with European heritage at its best: with a total area of 580 m² and a cool 1920s-style industrial design, ‘Les Halles’ is finally back again. Here, history-steeped industrial architecture meets innovative design and a unique atmosphere: a one-of-a-kind place that attracts creatives, intellectuals and the trendsetting fashion crowd.

 

Böhler Café

Serving up delicious coffee and cakes, the ‘Böhler Café’ is set to become another popular hotspot in the AREAL BÖHLER PARK. The perfect relaxation spot for buyers and exhibitors as well as anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city.

 

MagazinDrei

‘MagazinDrei’ also exudes a laid-back vibe: it’s not only a restaurant, but also a bar and bistro with a terrace and a chilled outdoor area.

Sunday, 25 July, 12:00 noon – 1:30 pm, Areal Böhler

Everything you need to know about the spring/summer 2022 season: for buyers, the press, exhibitors and interested visitors. As an exclusive service at Gallery FASHION & Shoes, a summary of the most important trend colours, key looks, must-haves and unavoidable topics for the upcoming order season will be presented at the Areal Böhler. The DMI (German Fashion Institute) is the leading trend office in the German-speaking area. Its work with the most influential trend offices from the world’s major fashion countries makes the DMI’s predictions a self-fulfilling prophecy.

 

FUTURE FASHION FORECAST

Saturday, 24 July, 12:00 noon – 1:30 pm, Areal Böhler

This event is aimed at the industry’s strategists and decision-makers. Helping to set the course for the future, it will offer a sneak peek into the world of tomorrow. In a compact series of multimedia presentations, analysts from the network of the DMI will be providing an insight into the status quo of technological and future developments in their relevant special fields.

 

FUTURE FEMALE FASHION FORUM

Sunday, 25 July, 10:30 am – 12:00 noon, Areal Böhler

Three out of every four items of clothing are purchased by women. But in the places where decisions about this clothing are made, i.e., the boardrooms of the major fashion companies, men are still very much dominating. Together with the DMI, Igedo Company has initiated a forum that brings together a host of fantastic female decision-makers and players from manufacturing, retail and universities, local tradeshows and national media to share ideas and network. The forum takes place whenever the industry meets for the ordering season in Düsseldorf. Representatives in top positions will be getting together for a public panel discussion. As the upcoming event is the first of its kind, it will focus on the needs and expectations associated with the FUTURE FEMALE FASHION FORUM. In the second part, the protagonists will be discussing the individual strategies that helped get them through the crisis and their predictions for the time afterwards.
