Innovative Fashion Returns to Paris
Innovation at the Service of Fashion
On September 29, Shenzhen Futian Fashion Day made a triumphant return to Paris, marking its second edition within the esteemed framework of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode's "Welcome to Paris" program. Organized by the Bay Area Sustainable Fashion Alliance (BASFA), this vibrant showcase received support from the Futian District Government. Attendees were treated to remarkable collections presented by three distinguished womenswear brands: NEXY.CO, YINER, and LAURÈL (Ellassay Group). The initiative aimed to cultivate cultural exchange while showcasing the rich creativity inherent in Chinese fashion at an international level.
Three Distinct Perspectives of Modern Femininity
NEXY.CO, a luxurious brand under the EEKA Fashion Group, seamlessly weaves together European sophistication with East Asian heritage. Their Spring-Summer 2026 collection, titled The Time of MULAN, serves as a heartfelt homage to contemporary women, reflecting resilience and grace reminiscent of the magnolia flower.
YINER, a flagship of YINGER Fashion Group, skillfully merges Eastern and Western elements, presenting subtle elegance in its designs. Their new collection, The Order of Nature, employs fruit imagery to symbolize growth, with the golden spiral serving as a central visual theme.
LAURÈL, which has roots in Munich and is now part of the Ellassay Group, channels the aesthetics of Bauhaus alongside German craftsmanship. Their latest collection, The Eternity of Order, underscores geometric structures and timeless femininity through bold tailoring combined with natural materials.
Futian: A Rising Fashion Epicenter
The Futian District, nestled in the heart of Shenzhen, is quickly establishing itself as a foundational pillar within China’s fashion industry, which stands alongside finance and technology.
