As announced on 8 April, due to the worldwide spread of the coronavirus, Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition and Yarn Expo Spring will merge with Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics and Yarn Expo Shenzhen for 2020. Exhibitors from these Shanghai fairs will be able to present their spring / summer 2021, as well as a preview of autumn / winter 2021-22, collections at the corresponding Shenzhen editions instead.
Intertextile Shenzhen Apparel Fabrics will be held from 15 – 17 July 2020 at the brand-new Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. This fair is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd; the Sub-Council of Textile Industry (CCPIT) and the China Textile Information Centre. The fair will be held concurrently with Yarn Expo Shenzhen, CHIC and PH Value.
By providing a platform for international and Chinese industry players to communicate, Intertextile enjoys a unique proximity to these collaborative opportunities – Fila and Nike attended the 2019 edition of Intertextile Shenzhen, while H&M attended the 2019 Autumn Edition of Intertextile Shanghai.
Domestic brands sourcing at the fair in past editions included Marisfrolg, Ellassay and Kaltendin, all of which are present at the nearby Dalang Fashion Town. This is an ongoing development in Shenzhen, subsidised by the government, which aims to form a platform for garment research and development, design, brand marketing, logistics and education.
