With the pandemic control situation in China still evolving at this time, Ms Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd explained the decision to delay the fairs: “With the four shows due to take place shortly, the prudent decision at this stage is to postpone them given the evolving situation around pandemic containment measures. Following the successful A/W Shanghai editions held earlier this month, we are determined to still provide this platform for all our stakeholders which is more focused on the South China and Southeast Asia markets, as well as both the upcoming A/W and S/S seasons.

We of course appreciate the understanding and ongoing support from participants of the fairs as we navigate these uncertain times. The feedback at the Shanghai editions about the domestic market’s strength and the value trade fairs provide for face-to-face encounters was very positive, so we will be doing our best to ensure a safe as well as high-quality business environment in December.”
