An amazing 500+ labels cover all categories of merchandise, from weddingwear, occasionwear and men’s formalwear to every conceivable accessory, and every price bracket, from accessible to couture.

And with everything in one single location - unlike some shows which spread out over a number of venues and take in local hotels, too – retailers can focus on their reason for being there and concentrate on the new collections, investing their time in finding the best for their individual business.

With a choice of over 45 individual designs that encompass lacey tops, skirts, trousers, jumpsuits and blazers as well as simple, chic dresses, this Dresden-based house is causing a stir. And understandably so.

Germany has acquired a fine reputation in the international market and Esther Hofmann Bridal and Heyloola are great examples of the confident and carefree approach adopted by Esther herself.

The personality of both labels, which include some detachables, is fresh, modern and romantic. And that's what dressing the part is all about.
