A New Chapter in China’s Fashion Industry

On April 2, 2025, the 30th Fashion Source Shenzhen and AW25 Shanghai Original Design Fashion Week came to a brilliant conclusion at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. This landmark event spanned over 40,000 square meters and featured more than 800 exhibitors across eight thematic areas, successfully attracting nearly 40,000 professionals over its three days. It marked a significant transition in the Chinese fashion sector, emphasizing a shift from growth driven by scale to one rooted in value-driven innovation.

The event provided a robust platform that facilitated efficient collaboration between international brands and local manufacturers, highlighting the importance of synergy across the supply chain. This integration not only promoted original design but also transformed Chinese fashion from a market follower to a market leader, setting trends rather than merely following them. The Fashion Week served as a dynamic melting pot for commercial breakthroughs and cross-sector collaborations through networking opportunities and technology-sharing initiatives.

Sustainability and forward-thinking innovation were at the core of this event. The showcase included the cutting-edge 26SS Fashion Source Knitting Trends and the interactive Urlib Selected Zone alongside the Fashion For Future Sustainable Fashion Exploration Area. These areas provided a comprehensive vision of how materials, craftsmanship, and technology can coalesce to shape the future of the fashion industry.
