On Thursday evening, July 21, 2022, the Fashion Council Germany hosted its first Fireside Chat in Düsseldorf after a hiatus of over two and a half years due to the pandemic. The event took place at Sansibar, located in the Breuninger department store on Königsallee. The Spring/Summer edition of the Düsseldorf Fashion Days, held from July 20 to 27, 2022, in the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, is one of the most important events of the year for German and European buyers. With its numerous showrooms and trade fairs, the Düsseldorf Fashion Days have established a strong national and international reputation.
