Shanghai Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 will kick off on October 8. As one of the flagship events of the “Summer of Shanghai” International Consumption Season, this edition of Shanghai Fashion Week adopts the theme “Renewed Radiance”. It will host nearly 100 runway debuts, debut exhibitions of nearly 1,000 brands and a series of premiere events. Integrating fashion shows, trade fairs, industry exchanges and urban consumption, it brings global creativity, industrial resources and market forces together in Shanghai.

Reporters learned from the press conference for Shanghai Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027 held on September 22 that this season’s event will connect creative runway presentations, commercial exchanges and urban consumption, helping Chinese brands at different growth stages develop clearer development paths amid market tests. The Xintiandi Showroom serves as the core venue for runway presentations of the fashion week.

Centered on MODE Shanghai Fashion Trade Show as its hub, this fashion week links multi-category exhibitions and professional SHOWROOMs to improve the commercial network connecting brands, buyers and retail terminals. From October 8 to 12, MODE Shanghai Fashion Trade Show for Spring/Summer 2027 will take place at Tower T2, Crystal Bridge, Changning District. Under the theme “Visions · Shared”, the show gathers brands from China, South Korea, Russia, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy and the United States, with overseas brands accounting for more than 50%. It enables brands to gain direct international market feedback and business connections.

Meanwhile, dubbed “Asia’s Largest Order Season”, this event will cover an area of over 50,000 square meters. Its offerings extend from ready-to-wear apparel and accessories to fragrances and lifestyle products, covering Huangpu, Jing’an, Changning, Xuhui and Pudong New Area. Among them, the Northeast Asia (Xingcheng) International Swimwear Expo will be held in Shanghai for the first time. With the theme “Xingcheng Swimwear, Trend to the World”, it expands vertical new product categories for the order season.

As Shanghai Fashion Week’s public-facing IP for fashion lifestyle and consumption experience, Shanghai Fashion Weekend leverages the professional ecosystem of the fashion week to seamlessly integrate fashion, design, art, music, culture and urban commerce. It brings fashion out of traditional show venues and into ordinary people’s daily lives. From October 16 to 25, Shanghai Fashion Weekend will launch the brand-new “Public Buyer Program”. At Dongtaili in Xintiandi, Xintiandi Style Phase II and Yongyuan Road commercial block, it will create an open urban experience accessible to the public through buyer markets, street runway shows, urban parades, community activities and fashion maps. In addition, Shanghai Fashion Weekend will team up with core business districts in central urban areas including Xintiandi, Huaihai Road and West Nanjing Road, gathering fashion consumer brands and stores. The “fashion map” links offline activities throughout the fashion week, turning the city-wide gala into an experiential, explorable and consumable urban fashion map, and building brand-new scenarios featuring deep integration between fashion and urban consumption.
