China : Clothing And Accessories Fair From July 25-28

From July 25 to 28 International Brand Clothing and Accessories Fair will be held in the China Hi-Tech Fair Exhibition Center.

"Over the past two years, the fair has become an important professional garment expo which has a larger scale and higher level than similar expos in the country," said Shen Yongfang, secretary general of the Shenzhen Garment Association.

Last year, with 1,400 display booths, the four-day fair saw more than 150,000 visitors and transactions totaled 5 billion yuan (US$650 million).

This year, there are 2,000 booths, most of which have already been booked, Shen said.

Exhibitors this year include not only those acclaimed brands such as Hamin, Finity, Migaino,Tangy and China Silk but also a batch of new brands such as New Concept and Omnialo.

An increasing number of foreign brands including Absolute, V'COCCA and Seeler will take part in this year's fair.

This year's fair will open simultaneously with the second Shenzhen Gold Coastline Tourism Festival, Shen Yongfang disclosed.

"We're going to borrow the relevant experience of Las Vegas, the United States and combine tourism with fashion shows to achieve a win-win situation," Shen said.
