Storeguide: Dusseldorf – Fashion
The words Dusseldorf and fashion are often used in one sentence: almost every label that has a reputation on the international scene has a brand flagship store on Königsallee. But even beyond the famous luxury shopping mile, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia has a wide range of shops worth seeing when it comes to fashion.

A special feature is the fluorescent floor that glows neon green in the dark.
