The trade show Chic Shanghai was supposed to take place from March 11 to
13, 2020 but was postponed due to the global coronavirus pandemic. Last
week, the organizers officially announced a new location and rescheduled
dates. Relocating from Shanghai to Shenzhen, Chic will now open its doors
from July 15 to 17.
“For our exhibitors, visitors, the industry and trade, the contact with
the market is essential. It is important to start business again as soon as
possible and to find the way back to normal. By exceptionally holding the
spring event of Chic Shanghai in Shenzhen in July, Chic as a longstanding
partner of the industry wants to provide it with the necessary platform to
do so,” stated Chen Dapeng, President of Chic and China National Garment
Association in a press release.
Chic will be held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention
Center, a venue that is considered China’s “boomtown”. All product areas of
Chic will be presented in the convention center’s halls. In Hall 9 and 11,
categories exhibited will include the following: Tailoring, Urban View
(menswear), New Look (womenswear), Impulses (designer area), Kidz,
Chic-Young Blood, Chic Worldwide (international participation) in Hall 9
and Denim World, Secret Stars (accessories), Bags & Shoes, Heritage
(leather, fur and down) and ODM.
Meanwhile, Chic invites participants the opportunity to take part
virtually in Chic Online which is scheduled to stream from April 22 to 24.
Later this year, the regular Chic Shanghai event hopes to resume from
September 23 to 25.
