The individual fashion segments of CHIC will be set up for the first time as independent areas. Defined with new titles, they will focus precisely on the core values of the Chinese consumer market. Tailored to the respective requirements and market peculiarities of the individual fashion segments, they will thus achieve a clear external impact and clarity in the communication and at the same time make orientation easier for trade visitors visiting the show.
"The Chinese market is developing at a rapid pace, and today China has a mature fashion market with top players, developed structures, and trend-setting consumers. CHIC's new concept reflects this market transformation, sets the trends for the future and efficiently connects with visitors to enable intercontinental business," said Chen Dapeng, president of CHIC and the China National Garment Association.
With clear stringency, the organisers are pursuing strategic marketing measures to connect exhibitors and visitors. For example, they are increasing collaboration with Chinese key opinion leaders (KOLs) and influential fashion blogs which are hugely important tools to reach the Chinese consumer and push the products in the market.
Secondly, they are increasing cooperation with sales platforms such as TMall / Alibaba for international brands with exclusive support of the platform's executive sales level to facilitate store openings there or with apps such as Little Red Book / RED (luxury app for retail with peer -to-peer approach).

International niche collections are currently in great demand among Chinese consumers. They are driven by insider exclusivity that meets the need for differentiation and individuality. High quality brands that tell an authentic ‘story’ receive special attention from them. Consumer communication via social media is an essential factor for the pull effect in the market. All CHIC promotional measures, including extensive WeChat advertising and eNewsletter promotion, support this effect.
