The Future (Un)folds
Since we are unfolding our plans for the future at GDS, we thought it would be appropriate to organize an exhibition about folded footwear exclusively for this occasion, called The Future (Un)folds. In collaboration with the Virtual Shoe Museum we will present a selection of the best folded shoes that were released in the recent years, months and even weeks. Some of the shoes featured were never shown in Europe before! We will approach the idea of folding from all angles: sustainability, new proportions, innovative constructions and materials, practical solutions… All shoes emphasize why and how folding is an important principle for future footwear. We will make a digital downloadable catalogue for the exhibition, which will become available after GDS for anyone who can not visit in person. Buy the great catalog here:
