The Igedo Fashion Fairs Düsseldorf sharpen their image
Broad assortment thanks to 1,750 exhibitors and collections
“Retail should not hide its head in the sand”
Fashion words are in. The current trade fair season could be “anti-cyclic”. With
cautious consumers, sleepy sales numbers, full warehouses and lowered limits, retail
is not exactly particularly order-happy at the time. At the same time it is also clear
that retail needs to set strong impulses in order to reanimate consumers from their
end. Today more than ever, trade fairs such as the Igedo Fashion Fairs Düsseldorf
offer all forms of commerce a powerful platform for learning about current trends,
discovering developments, gathering inspiration and finally for giving stimuli.
As the most important platform for women’s and menswear, body, beach and
legwear, as well as accessories, the Igedo Fashion Fairs Düsseldorf wish to set a
positive example. The organiser, the Igedo Company, expects approximately 1,750
exhibitors and collections, there to present the trends of the coming spring/summer
season 2009 at the four fashion fairs CPD, HMD, Body Look and Global Fashion,
from 27 through 29 July 2008 at the Düsseldorf fairgrounds. With this the number
of collections shown remains stable compared with last year’s event. The
approximately 100 new exhibitors include Expresso, Art & Business, MDC
Sportswear, Lanius, Peppercorn, Oxmo, Monique Leshman, Remei, Errorist, Kymare
and Banana Moon. RedGreen is returning. The Düsseldorf fairs have especially been
able to sharpen their image in special segments (see separate press releases).
