New garments by tradition
New garments it had to be, season for season, for “Jan Willem”*: fan of fashion and of the flamboyant, friend of culture and elaborate celebrations, patron of music and painting. Since those times, Düsseldorf has remained a fashion-conscious city where new garments really are a tradition. The essence of Düsseldorf is to be at the vanguard of fashion. And that is a central part of the character of all those who live in Düsseldorf. A stroll along the “Kö”, the Königsallee, provides the proof. Here, fashion is presented as if on a runway. Not for nothing is this the fashion stretch with the strongest revenue in the whole of Germany – and the annual Igedo Fashion Fair Düsseldorf, with its highlights CPD, HMD, Bodylook and Global Fashion are additional venues for the newest garments, as well as for style and elegance – and for fashion, in Düsseldorf and beyond.
*Johann Wilhelm von Pfalz-Neuburg (1658–1716) Duke of Jülich and Berg, Elector Palatine, born and died in Düsseldorf
