China has one of the biggest consumer markets for clothing industry and the annual output has been ranked as the world number one for the last couple of years. About 20 percent of China’s 200 or so billionaires can thank the fashion business for at least part of their fortunes. In June 2015 TechCrunch reported that online spending in China will reach one trillion dollars by 2019. The growth will be fueled by mobile apps and improving logistics networks, which have helped e-commerce companies reach new customers in smaller cities. There is a of demand for new fashion designer brands and interest to Scandinavian style and brands in China and Hong Kong. The rise of the 2nd and 3rd tier cities in China has provided new consumer groups and areas, it is not only Shanghai, Beijing or Hong Kong that foreign brands should look at. For example, the city of Chengdu has 21 multibrand stores, even more than nearby (first-tier city) Guangzhou. The overall development of luxury brands in Chengdu is still an ongoing process, which means that there are still a lot of business opportunities for multibrand stores to provide their customers with a unique mix of fashion designer brands. The bridge between Chinese multibrand stores and Finnish brands needs to be established. The visibility of Finnish labels in Chinese media has to increase and the export of design services needs to be developed. But most urgently Finnish designers and other professionals in the fashion field need to team up, share the knowledge and experiences and plan the future actions together. Join us for a half-day session “EARS on Fashion - How to import fashion to China?” as part of Europe-Asia Roundtable Sessions 28.8.2015 at 9.30-12.00.
