Gallery International Fashion Tradeshow

                   

CONTEMPORARY
This area is home to avantgarde and contemporary brands including Azizi, Creare, Crea Concept, Elemente Clemente, Kopenhagen by Andersen, Rundholz Black Label.

Bessin
The founder and owner of this new label first shot to fame in Germany as a comedian playing the role of “Cindy from Marzahn”, an endearing fictional character from Berlin’s working-class area Marzahn. And now Ilka Bessin is fulfilling the dream of creating her own fashion line for plus sizes. In the CONTEMPORARY area at Gallery, Bessin will be presenting her new collection of tops, sweaters, jeans, parkas, coats, dresses and blouses. All under the motto: “Love your curves! Be yourself, you have nothing to hide!” Her fashion label Bessin is aimed at women who wear sizes 42 to 54, but still want to keep up with the latest trends. Here, the feel-good factor is combined with high quality. A matter very close to her heart is sustainable production in Europe. “As well as the design and quality of the materials, the working conditions for the production employees are also very important to me. A fair wage and regulated working hours should become standard practice throughout the entire fashion industry.”

Representatives of Hungary
For the first time, a collective booth will be showcasing one fashion label, two bag collections and a shoe and jewellery collection from Hungary with a focus on design/avantgarde in the CONTEMPORARY area in the ›Alte Schmiedehallen.

Visitors can look forward to the ladieswear label Wyhoys by designer Lilla Papai, who is synonymous with sustainable fashion and transparent production. She primarily uses purely ecological materials certified by the ‘Global Organic Textile Standard’ (GOTS). The design and production are carried out in Hungary, ensuring that every step is personally monitored and that the requirements of environmentally friendly production and social responsibility can be met.

                   

Laoni, a bag label for ladies and men, offers timelessly elegant pieces with exciting colour combinations in a distinctive design and excellent quality. The extensive collection includes models for every occasion – whether during the day, in the evening or at work. A highlight is the luxurious stonebag, which innovatively combines natural slate with the finest leather. Established in 2012 in Budapest, Bogabag has specialised in handmade leather bags that are practical, timeless, classic and minimalistic and were created for modern women. Nes Shoes has been on the market since 2004. The label was founded by Andrea Szilagyi who, after training at Verena Arapu and Christian Lacroix Haute Couture, graduated from the fashion school in Paris. For her, sophisticated shoes are an essential tool for self-expression that underline the wearer’s own beauty and personality. The designs are made sustainably by hand for confident women. They impart a sense of wellbeing and provide luxury for both the soul and the feet in the urban jungle.

The Mama Kin takes inspiration from architectural design, nature and playful minimalism. Jewellery for women who love clean, straightforward pieces that look just as good combined with casualwear as they do with a little black dress. Whether gold-plated, with robust surfaces or made of copper, the label loves to experiment.

This cooperation is being coordinated by the Hungarian National Trading House, which brings together Hungarian companies with business partners from abroad. Represented in more than 60 countries, it explores and opens up markets for Hungarian companies. As well as looking for foreign companies for Hungarian business partners, they also offer assistance with logistics solutions, process operations and speeding up production.

                   

As the only B2B fashion tradeshow for evening and formalwear in Europe, this area is particularly important for brands that follow half-yearly intervals for winter and summer collections. The winter edition is particularly exciting because it is not represented in the general tradeshow business for bridalwear. Its concept appeals in particular to bridalwear suppliers who wish to present their evening and formalwear twice a year, irrespective of the dates of the bridal fairs.

Another new highlight is THE NRW DESIGN ISSUE for young fashion design from North Rhine-Westphalia. These aspiring young brands are being presented parallel to the PLATFORM FASHION format at the Areal Bohler to give young fashion designers from the region of North Rhine-Westphalia the opportunity to network with other creatives. This new concept consists of three elements: TNRWDI-INTERACTION, TNRWDI-TEMPORARY und TNRWDI-CATWALK. Their designs are being presented in Dusseldorf galleries, at various professional formats and on the catwalk of PLATFORM FASHION to provide new inspiration for the fashion and art market in North Rhine-Westphalia and to develop long-term synergies.
