SHANGHAI, Sept. 6, 2019 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--

A number of Chinese brands have and will present their latest collection at the 
ongoing New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2020 show. Several Shanghai-based 
clothing brands made their debut there.

According to the schedule released by IMG, one of the producers of the New York 
Fashion Week, the eight-day show starting from September 4 includes two events 
devoted to Chinese labels, including "Tmall China Cool" on September 4 and 
"China Day" on September 8. About 10 brands from China will be on stage during 
the fashion week, according to Xinhua Silk Road Information Service.

During the fashion week, Threegun, a well-known underwear brand in China under 
the Shanghai-based Orient International (Holding) Co., Ltd, boarded the fashion 
stage for the first time on September 4 in cooperation with Tmall platform 
of China's e-commerce giant Alibaba.

The brand displayed 40 sets of intimate apparel with designs inspired by the 
classic elements of this time-honored Chinese brand such as waffle weave and 
tie-dye.

Sheng Chao who is in charge of the Tmall fashion brands said that the New York 
Fashion Week is an important platform to enhance brand influence and drive 
sales growth.

Sheng believed that the New York Fashion Week can also convey the desire for 
transformation of domestic brands. "In the past, foreigners had some 
stereotypes about the Chinese design. In fact, Chinese design is not just 
cliches like the dragon and phoenix." 

Besides, through the cooperation with Tmall, many of the Chinese brands' 
Spring/Summer 2020 collection will be launched on the e-commerce platform 
during the fashion week. Consumers can immediately order the catwalk items 
after watching the live streaming video of the fashion show.

It is learned that in 2018, after the show at the Tmall China Day in New York 
Fashion Week, more than 1,000 pairs of sneakers of the Chinese sports brand Li 
Ning were sold out in a minute, up 270 percent year-on-year. The market value 
of Li Ning increased more than 3 billion Hong Kong dollars after the show.
