After deciding on focusing on three days , the opening times of the fashion trade show Gallery has been adjusted . - We are working for the Gallery with our finger on the pulse and would like to give the retail trade the chance to also place orders after shops have closed , says Ulrike Kähler , Project Director at the Gallery in Düsseldorf . For this reason the event opens on Saturday from 10 am to 8 pm , on Sunday from 10 am to 7 pm and on Monday from 10 am to 6 pm . The tried and tested showroom concept for agencies and premium brands remains unaffected by the changes . International agencies bring innovative brands to the Gallery and thereby the trade fair can offer an entire portfolio for the fashion buyers .
For special occasions In the “ Kaltstahlhalle ” at the Areal Böhler venue , Gallery buyers will find glamorous dresses for evening and special occasions . The range from Gallery Evening & Occasion exhibitors is wide and varied – evening and occasion wear , dresses , shoes and handbags . Boutique managers will find the entire portfolio here for their stores . - With its adapted schedule in line with all the other Gallery segments Gallery Evening & Occasion wear exhibitors will now also be able to benefit more from Gallery visitors so brands can win over more new customers , states Ulrike Kähler .
