CHIC – China International Fashion Fair, the largest fashion fair in Asia,
serves the entire fashion chain from production and distribution to digital new
developments of the industry with clear orientation of each edition of the fair.
With three trade fair dates a year, spring and autumn in Shanghai and the
event in the economically strong Greater Bay Area in Shenzhen at the end
of the year, CHIC once again proves itself as the universal platform for
industry and trade for the Chinese fashion market.
With the reorientation of the individual shows, the reorganization of resources
and a strong service upgrade, CHIC provides a comprehensive integrated
platform. It incorporates all stages of the fashion business and places a
strong focus on digitalization. CHIC thus not only follows the trends in the
important Chinese consumer market, but also provides targeted impetus for
the industry.
CHIC Shanghai Spring
From March 8 to 10, 2023, CHIC Shanghai will showcase the latest fashion
trends, designer collections and brands from all fashion sectors, from
womenswear, menswear, and kidswear to shoes, bags and accessories.
About 900 exhibitors are expected at the flagship event of CHIC in spring at
the NECC Shanghai.

exhibition of the German government and to present themselves in the CHIC
Worldwide area in order to establish their networks in the Chinese consumer
market. The joint participation will be organized by DEGA Expo Group.

regions like Italy, France, Korea, India, China Hong Kong, etc.
Efficiently, CHIC networks attendees with all retail channels, from buyers,
large department stores, multi-brand boutiques, agents, distributors to major
ecommerce players.
CHIC Shanghai Autumn
The focus here is on the supply chain. Chinese qualified ODM and OEM
fashion producers will show their innovative portfolio. The digitalization of all
textile areas along the entire production chain is resetting the business. The
changing business environment and market demands make high-quality,
intelligent and sustainable fashion production necessary. CHIC Autumn
enables the successful coordination of resources along the industry chain.
Upstream and downstream are brought together. Companies like the Dayang
Group, Jinshixiu and Jore Baudry, manufacturers of many domestic top level
fashion brands, belong to the exhibitors as well as the Qili Group, well known
denim manufacturer or Zhejiang Tianchi, producer of high-end-no-ironing
shirts.
CHIC Shanghai Autumn 2022, originally postponed to October 21-23,
2022, will be integrated into CHIC in spring due to pandemic control.
CHIC Shanghai Autumn 2023 is scheduled for August 2023.
