The Queen’s Closet by G goes to Düsseldorf (FW19-20)

Hi Fashionistas ☺️

How are you? I’m just back from a short trip to Düsseldorf; the first buying trip of 2019 and it was mainly for Fall Winter 2019-20 for SHE of course. All I have to say is that the collections are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.

Our days were very busy and pressured as we were travelling all night, arrived in Düsseldorf early in the morning and immediately started work. We had four whole days but they were full as we had the appointments the one after the other. To be honest, the fact that we found just a couple of hours on Saturday to visit the centre was a surprise!

In Germany, most of our orders are for the classier ladies of SHE, yet we do have some modern brands we work with that are located in Düsseldorf and we also discovered some new brands as well and I’m so excited.

What is so exciting with Düsseldorf is that buyers from all over the world meet up in those massive working spaces and it can be so interesting.

I will not be splitting my post into days, I will just refer to the brands and places we’ve visited, upcoming trends and colours for Fall Winter 2019-20 and places to dine in Düsseldorf.

So, to start, we visited Gerry Weber, Taifun, Eugen Klein, Rofa Fashion Group, Barbara Lebek, Frank Lyman, Apanage, Select by Herman Lange, Swing, Taifun; brands that in Cyprus you can only find exclusively at SHE Boutiques.

We however also bought a few other brands, which will also be exclusive to SHE like; Passioni, Christian Koehlert, and I won’t reveal them all as I want to leave some for surprise 🙂

So, what are your predictions regarding FW19-20? What do you think will be the most popular trend and what will fashionistas be seen in all over Instagram? We already said many times that Fashion goes around a circle, trends and styles go back and forth.
