October/November stock sales

I have heard a lot about the annual stock sales for major designers, where you can buy last years merchandize. (Not the semiannual sale for the current season merchandize.) Where are the warehouses where the events take place and how long are the events? Is it important to be there the very first day, in general what is the selection like. I wear a size 40-42 would I find anything in my size or is it mostly left over, small sizes they couldnot sell. I am particularly interested in Dries van Noten Woman%26#39;s merchandize. How and when can I find out about these events?

thanks for your response.

Unfortunately I don%26#39;t have answers to your questions. All I can do is provide you with a website where the stocksales (that are held in April and October) will be announced. You have to register but it%26#39;s free. If you start checking the city guide for Antwerp as from early October, you can%26#39;t miss the announcement. If not, let me know and I%26#39;ll do a further search.

This is the website: http://www.cityzine.be/en/home

thanks for your help. I will keep searching.

I%26#39;m sure it IS necessary to be there the very first day, for the best choice. I would keep an eye on this blog:
