(c) 2020 CHIC
The March event of CHIC Shanghai will take place in Shenzhen in July. Due to the global corona epidemic, Asia’s leading fashion and lifestyle fair CHIC Shanghai could not be held as planned from March 11th to 13th, 2020 in Shanghai.
  • Alternative date and new venue for the spring event of CHIC Shanghai: July 15th to 17th in Shenzhen
  • CHIC Online from April 22nd to 24th, 2020
  • Date of the autumn event of CHIC Shanghai: September 23-25, 2020

The ongoing worldwide epidemic situation does not allow China's control and prevention measures tobe relaxed. It is not possible to have a catch-up  date  of  the  spring  event  of  CHIC  March  before  the  autumn  event  of CHIC September in Shanghai due to logistical reasons. "For  our  exhibitors  and  visitors,  the  industry  and  trade,  the  contact  with the market is essential. It is important to start business again as soon as possible and to find the way back to normal. By exceptionally holding the spring   event  of   CHIC Shanghai   in   Shenzhenin   July, CHIC  as  a longstanding   partner   of   the   industry wants   to provide   it with   the necessary  platform to  do  so."  Chen  Dapeng,  President  of  CHIC  and China National Garment Association.

The  originally  planned  event  space  for  the  premiere  of CHIC  Shenzhen from July 15th to 17th, 2020 will be expanded by 10,000 square meters to 40,000 square meters. The  trade  show  location  Shenzhen  is  considered  China's  "boomtown" and one of the most dynamic cities in the world. The concept, one place -one  date -four  shows, that  has  proven  itself  in  Shanghai  for  years,  is continued here.

The China National Textile and Apparel Council's "Greater Bay Textile & Apparel Expo" will combine a total offour trade shows: China International Fashion Fair 2020 in Shenzhen (CHIC SHENZHEN), Intertextile SHENZHEN Apparel Fabrics, PH Value (Shenzhen) and Greater Bay Area International Trade Fair for Fibers and Yarns.
