Fashion week gala returns in style
Print Edition
Shanghai Fashion Week鈥檚 2021 autumn-winter edition kicked off yesterday.
Themed 鈥淏loom the Spring,鈥 the fashion gala is a testament to the industry getting back on its feet after the far-reaching impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
As the world鈥檚 first fashion week to appear offline last October after the outbreak of COVID-19, this edition鈥檚 lineup features runways, trade shows, fashion seminars and other events.
鈥淭oday鈥檚 Shanghai Fashion Week is far more than just a show, it鈥檚 the best platform for China鈥檚 fashion industry,鈥 said fashion week ambassador Xiao Xue, former editor-in-chief of ELLE China and now a Chinese fashion opinion leader. 鈥淚 believe this platform will play a greater role in leading industrial development and supporting Chinese brands. It鈥檚 also the best stage for international brands to showcase in China.鈥
With strict epidemic prevention and control measures in place, Shanghai Fashion Week celebrates excellence in design and creativity with more than 100 runways for Chinese fashion designers and brands as well as overseas labels.
In the main venue鈥檚 tent set up in Xintiandi, the opening show featured Chinese fashion brand Mark Fairwhale.
Established brands and designers launching their new collections include INXX, Rflexion, YES BY YESIR and Hemu.
Winner of the Award for Emerging Talent presented by Visa last October, Chinese brand Mayali will make its debut at Xintiandi. Highly acclaimed brands Dawei and Comme Moi will also have their first-time showcase at Fashion Week.
Incubator Labelhood will return to TANK Shanghai at West Bund, another fashion week venue. Newcomers from its incubation project Youtopia include Anno Mundi and Toile. Emerging Chinese designers with global exposure like Shushu/Tong, Angel Chen and Private Policy will present their fall 2021 collections.
Luxury brand Dior will debut its 2021 pre-fall collection at West Bund鈥檚 Shanghai Long Museum.
On top of a wide array of physical events, a range of digital initiatives and offline activities will help Shanghai Fashion Week reach more consumer-based communities via the 鈥淪ee Now, Buy Now鈥 campaign.
The Shanghai Fashion and Lifestyle Carnival, an online platform, enables fashion brands to sell their latest products directly to consumers.
China鈥檚 top livestreamer Austin Li will join the offline events to celebrate the launch, while another top livestreamer Viya will work with the design platform ITIB.
Debuted in 2003, Shanghai Fashion Week has been a significant fashion showcase, trade, and exchange platform in Asia. It went fully digital after the COVID-19 pandemic a year ago and was rebooted offline in October last year.
