Chen Dapeng, President of CHIC, China International Fashion Fair and China National Garment Association: "CHIC SHENZHENhas been planned for a long time and can be implemented in view of the now positive development in China. Here, the focus is on the national fashion manufacturers and the densely populated, flourishing southern Chinese retail landscape. CHIC SHANGHAIwill continue to have an international focus.

"Together with Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabricsandthe Shenzhen Yarn Expo, CHIC SHENZHENwill offer a platform called"Greater Bay Area International Textile and Apparel Expo"for the national fashion industry and fashion trade in southern China. The threetrade fairs will be presented on 100,000 square meters, 30,000 square meters are reserved for CHIC SHENZHEN. A total of 2,000 exhibitors are expected.

The trade fair location in Shenzhen is located in the province of Guangdong (canton), which has over 114 million inhabitants. The Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, also known as China's "boomtown", has approximately 15 million inhabitants today. The south of China is a conurbation of the Chinese fashion industry and trade, numerous clothing clusters (menswear, womenswear, childrenswear, denim, casualwear, wedding dresses) are here and based in the neighboring provinces, e.g. Fujian. These two provinces, together with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, are responsible for 75% of the total textile production in China.
