Fashion carnival to integrate resources from B&R countries

The 11th Guangzhou Baima Fashion Carnival is due to be held in Guangdong capital of Guangzhou on Aug 19, local media outlet southcn.com reported on Aug 15.

The platform integrates fashion trends, promotes business cooperation in the fashion industry and enhances international design communication.

Different from previous events, this year's carnival attaches great importance on introducing the apparel industry resources across the world especially those from countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.

During the carnival, Guangzhou Baima Clothing Wholesale Market will strike a deal with Trendstop, a British fashion trend forecasting analysis services provider, to provide accurate fashion trends for brand customers.

Other highlights of the event include a press conference for 2018 Global Apparel Fashion Trend and the Belt and Road Textile and Apparel Market Development Forum.

In 2016, the online sales of Guangzhou-based apparel companies saw an increase of 13 percent, with eight clothing companies including Guangzhou Huimei Clothing Company listed in the 2015-16 National Class E-commerce Demonstration Companies.

In July this year, Brand Market Original Collection, a branch of the first retail store of Guangzhou Baima Clothing Wholesale Market was established in Changsha, Hunan province. Brand Market Original Collection makes full use of the resources of suppliers and integrates both domestic and foreign original brands to provide customers with fashion products including apparel, bags and accessories.

"In the internet era, manufactures, sellers and customers all expect to reduce intermediate links and satisfy their demands as fast as possible; We wish to establish a pattern to connect the upstream and downstream," said a spokesperson of Guangzhou Baima Clothing Wholesale Market.
