News from the individual zoneS
CONTEMPORARY ZONE
The CONTEMPORARY ZONE is showing a wide range of collections and now stretches over four different halls, some of which have a new segmentation: the ›Halle am Wasserturm‹ and the ›Alte Schmiedehallen‹ will be home to the same zones as usual and the ›Blankstahlhalle‹ is occupied with the CONTEMPORARY ZONE only, and also the ›Edelstahlhalle‹, which was previously used for the KIDS’ exhibitors. Represented in the ›Halle am Wasserturm‹, for example, are new exhibitors such as Stefano Gamba from Italy. Tamaris Bags is exhibiting in the ›Alte Schmiedehallen‹, while new brands like Irregular Choice from the UK and Hey Dude from Italy can be found in the ›Edelstahlhalle‹.
Cinque can be found in the ›Halle am Wasserturm‹ once again. A brand that, alongside other selected brands, will be showcasing its complete looks in the ‘Fashion Lifestyle-Show’ in the Fashion-Lifestyle-Corner of the ›Kaltstahlhalle‹. Along with Clarks Shoes, Dutch brand Frankie4, which is taking part in the new ‘Gallery SHOES Selected-Show’, can be found in the ›Blankstahlhalle‹. Other brands featuring in the ‘Gallery SHOES Selected-Show’ are Emily & Noah from Germany and Bruno Premi from Italy. Both are exhibiting in the ›Alte Schmiedehallen‹. Returning exhibitors include Marian from Spain in the ›Blankstahlhalle‹. In the ›Edelstahlhalle‹ buyers will be able to browse brands such as Edel Fashion from the Netherlands.
