DJs at real turntables will generate high spirits with Hammond organ grooves. Light effects and funky disco dancing sounds make this party a must-go music experience.
The promotion of young designers ranks high on the agenda of GDS. To draw special attention to particular talents, the 'SOULEXPRESS Fashion Award 2008' will be presented in the categories 'Best Outfit' and 'Best Shoe' on the Sunday of the trade fair.
The award winners will get a sponsored stand at 'design attack' for GDS in March 2009. However, this is not the only event promoting young designers.
For the 11th time now the HDS – Main Association of the German Footwear Industry will be presenting an international young designer prize, the 'Footwear Fashion Future Award', in cooperation with Messe Düsseldorf at GDS.
'design attack' is part and parcel of GDS's promotion of young talents.“We provide young designers and international buyers with a suitable communication platform that adapts to the spirit of the age,” says Kirstin Deutelmoser, Director of GDS.
