China International Fashion Fair (CHIC) Shanghai, Asia’s leading fashion and lifestyle fair, has announced that its March event has been postponed and it will take place in Shenzhen in July. CHIC organisers have reported that due to the global corona epidemic, CHIC Shanghai could not be held as planned from March 11-13, 2020 in Shanghai.

Organisers further reported that it is not possible to have a catchup date of the spring event of CHIC March before the autumn event of CHIC September in Shanghai due to logistical reasons.

"For our exhibitors and 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,” Chen Dapeng, president of CHIC and China National Garment Association, said in a press release.

The originally planned event space for the premiere of CHIC Shenzhen from July 15-17, 2020 will be expanded by 10,000 square meters to 40,000 square meters. The trade show location Shenzhen is considered China's "boomtown" and one of the most dynamic cities in the world.

The China National Textile and Apparel Council's "Greater Bay Textile & Apparel Expo" will combine a total of four trade shows: China International Fashion Fair 2020 in Shenzhen (CHIC Shenzhen), Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics, PH Value (Shenzhen) and Greater Bay Area International Trade Fair for Fibres and Yarns.

CHIC is closely linked to the fashion and textile industry clusters in the Pearl River Delta region and offers market opportunities in particular for the regions of Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macau - Greater Bay.

According to the organiser, all CHIC product areas will be realised in halls 9 and 11 of the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Centre: CHIC Tailoring, Urban View (menswear), New Look (womenswear), Impulses (designer area), CHIC Kidz, CHIC-Young Blood, CHIC Worldwide (international participation) in Hall 9 and Denim World, Secret Stars (accessories), Bags & Shoes, Heritage (leather, fur and down), ODM in Hall 11.

CHIC Shows and CHIC Talk will also be presented in Shenzhen. At the same time, CHIC offers the opportunity to take part in CHIC Online from April 22-24, 2020.
