News this week: International trade
fair organiser Messe Frankfurt announced it will
relocate the spring edition of Intertextile
Shanghai Apparel Fabrics and Yarn Expo Spring to a new venue in
Shanghai and it will discontinue the Hong Kong edition of Interstoff Asia Essential – effective next
year.
The organiser decided to relocate its two Shanghai-based trade shows to
the new 400,000 m2 National
Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai’s Hongqiao district to allow
for further growth – where they will run concurrently with the 23rd
edition of the China
International Fashion Fair (CHIC). CHIC is jointly organised by Beijing-based
organiser Fashion Expo and the China World Trade Center.
Addressing the ending of Interstoff Asia Essential in Hong Kong, Messe
Frankfurt claims a steady shifting of textile manufacturing and fashion buying
offices from Hong Kong to China in recent years influenced its decision to
focus all of its efforts in mainland China.
