“China Textile City Cup”2019 Global Fashion Design Elite Challenge to sparkle in Keqiao this September

In order to promote the connection between design and market， build a new platform for design creativity， nurture new industry momentum， advised by China National Textile and Apparel Council， sponsored by Peoples Government of Keqiao District， Shaoxing City， Zhejiang Province， and jointly organized by Construction Management Committee of China Textile City， Keqiao District， Shaoxing City， China Textile Magazine， China Fashion Association， Fashion Dream Incubator， and WWW. QFC.CN， the 2019 Global Fashion Design Elite Challenge， a global highend fashion event officially begins to call for papers.

As a brand-new professional and creative event， the “China Textile City Cup” 2019 Global Fashion Design Elite Challenge is different from other traditional events since its inception. It pays more attention to the coordinated development of local industry and international fashion trends， and the integration and symbiosis of fashion industry and supply chain. To this end， the competition invites high-end designers from all over the world and provides them with a platform for exhibition.

2019 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China. After 40 years of reform and opening up， textile industry is bound to usher in an important period of strategic opportunities. As the origin of fashion， design should take the lead of talents. Therefore， holding the “China Textile City Cup” 2019 Global Fashion Design Elite Challenge is not only an important measure to build a complete industrial ecosystem and promote the transition of Keqiao “textile city” to “fashion city”， but also a “grand parade” to comprehensively display the originality of fashion design， in order to present the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China.

In recent years， in order to actively seek to improve the value chain of fashion and creative industries and foster a diversified path of new economic growth points， Keqiao District has not only formed a fashion industry ecological chain with textile creative design as the core， and it also gathers the largest textile distribution center in China with complete facilities and the largest variety of textile products. It is also the largest specialized textile market in Asia， where Keqiao China Textile City is located.

From the world fabric distribution center to the global fashion source， Keqiao has formed a fashion system based on raw material development， fabric research and development， clothing home textile design and self-owned brand cultivation. Not only that， Keqiao， as the permanent meeting place of the World Textile Merchandising Conference， has gathered the worlds top design talents. The fertile soil of industry and the source of creativity undoubtedly laid a solid foundation for the strong opening of this competition. Thats why the theme of this competition is “Fashion Transformation”， which is self-evident.

How to provide more space for industrial cooperation for all contestants has also become a question for the organizing committee. Therefore， at the beginning of the preparations， the event brought together multiple resources such as associations， clusters， markets， brand institutions， media， etc. At the same time， during the event， the organizing committee will also increase the participation and interaction of the events. All domestic and foreign finalists can choose fabrics for free on WWW.QFC.CN， and transform the garments of the final works. It will also open up a designer display channel for the finalists of the competition， recommend creative talents to hundreds of thousands of fabric member companies， and build a platform for upstream and downstream docking.
