New Locations
The POP UP area has found a new home in hall 10. There visitors can now also find the catwalk. Here, the GDS Fashion Shows are providing information on the latest trends.

Trends @ GDS
The Highlight Route running through the three GDS Lifestyle Worlds doubles as a stage for special product stagings and events. The catwalk in Hall 10 will host fashion shows and serve as a stage for innovations from individual brands. Add to this the STUDIO Show featuring current trends from the Premium segment.
The Trend Spots in Hall 5 have been grouped into a separate area providing important information on seasonal trends for S/S 2016. Here trends are featured in an atmospheric setting that strikingly illustrates design objects and colours in distinct visualisations. The Forum Touch is a contact point for visitors to both see and touch seasonal as well as cross-seasonal innovations and materials. Here all types of material categories such as leather and textiles can be researched. The Forum is an information pool for textures and surfaces.
