The trend area of Ars Sutoria at “tag it! by gds” in Hall 17

According to various indicators, Private Labels will prove to be the business of the future for retailers and wholesalers. In 2015, the percentage of private footwear labels is expected to increase significantly and reach a market share of nearly 50%. The greatest potential for growth will mainly come from emerging markets, with a strong increase expected in the segment of fashion and accessories stores. In addition, many retailers will focus on private labels to decrease their dependence on brands and to reap better sales margins.

For this reason, GDS has given birth to the first international event dedicated to private labels. The entire spectrum of private labels will be presented at the fair. In addition to large quantities, quality and designs are also increasingly offered at brand level, as well as complete private label collections. A clear segmentation that will make it easier to identify the company profile most suitable to the needs of visitors. The Trend Area set up by Ars Sutoria will be placed within this contest in hall 17, and will give manufacturers and visitors detailed advice on the world of footwear and fashion accessories regarding concepts, colours, materials, shapes and volumes for the 2015 Spring/Summer season. A space where visual aids and multimedia materials will make it easy to grasp the most interesting guidelines for creating future collections. The Trend Area will also host a series of meetings with buyers and retail chains dedicated to new trends, held by experts from the Ars Sutoria Research Team.

There is a possibility of fixing an appointment with Orietta for a guided tour (10 people max per group) in the Trend area during the fair-time. Please find the available timeslots below and send your request at: [email protected]
