Shanghai Fashion Week 2025: Asia’s Style Capital in Motion

Shanghai Fashion Week (SHFW) returns from October 9–17, 2025, showcasing collections for the Spring/Summer 2026 season. As one of Asia’s premier fashion events, SHFW is known for blending established luxury houses with bold new designers.

What to Expect:

• International debuts alongside China’s most influential fashion names
• Emerging talents supported by new incubator programs and collaborative showrooms
• Trends to watch: futuristic metallics, lilac and silver tones, voluminous outerwear, and experimental layering
• Challenges: economic slowdowns and fewer Western brands compared to previous years

Despite challenges, Shanghai Fashion Week remains a major platform shaping the conversation about global style, especially as Chinese designers gain more influence on the international scene.
