International trends are presented in a concentrated and sales-focused format in four daily shows on the GDS Runway TRENDS ONSTAGE in Hall 2 – this time in the presence of guest stars from the fashion, movie and sports scenes attending the trade fair kick-off on Friday:

German top model Katrin Thormann will be presenting the latest styles by well-known designers in the Upper Style Show at 11.00 am. Katrin was discovered while shopping – today she is among the international elite in the modelling business, gracing the front pages of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue and promoting the likes of Calvin Klein, Givenchy, Prada, Mulberry and Strenesse.

Attending as a spectator in the front row will be Katja Flint. She portrayed movie icon Marlene Dietrich, excelled as Elisabeth in The White Massai and recently starred on the silver screen in the music drama “Fame” by Oscar winner Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck.

One of the world’s fastest women is Natalie Geisenberger. The Bronze Medal winner in singles luge at the Vancouver Winter Olympics will be attending the Easy to Go - Wellness Show at 1.30 pm.

The collections by Philipp Plein are synonymous with unbridled jet-set glamour. This self-taught interior designer initially created furniture and home accessories for friends and family; his works attracted attention and 1998 saw him set up his own company in Munich. Today, the company is headquartered at the Swiss town of Amriswil. Fashion and jewellery lines are now also available and since 2008 the Premium Couture line has added the finishing touches. The matching accessory collection includes bags, shoes, belts and knitwear – all in all approx. 80 styles created with loving attention to detail and manufactured in Italy.

Premium casual shoes for men and women are offered by the new label Crick It from Hamburg. The masterminds behind this label are husband & wife team Julia and Michael Mouget: he runs the company while she looks after design. They both share a passion for beautiful things and traditional values. Julia Mouget loves the refined British attitude and precise craftsmanship she learnt from John Lobb, the famous London shoemaker by Appointment to the Queen.

The British “gentleman’s sport” cricket provided her with both inspiration and the name for her own line. Mouget is guided by “clarity and simplicity in shape and design, a professional treatment of this wonderful material – leather – and an affectionate obsession with details.”
