OSAKA,
Japan, May 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As the
Chinese solar term "Grain Buds" kicked in, a fashion summer breeze
carried "Made-in-Shanghai", an
official five-day multi-format event, exhibition and forum series
created by Shanghai, to Grand
Green Osaka of Umeda, north of JR Osaka Station, the largest
transportation hub and a super popular commercial destination in
Japan.
This is not just a showcase of Shanghai's fashion superpower, but an intimate
encounter of Shanghai's fashion
ecosystem with local visitors. As FANG Wei, China's Vice Consul General in Osaka remarked at the event's grand opening on
May 21st,
"Made-in-Shanghai" took the
Shanghai-Osaka ties to a new level through showcasing
tech-savvy and Shanghai-style fashion, beauty and creative products
to local and international visitors, while fostering business
cooperation amidst the shift from "Made-in-China" to "Created-in-China".
This overseas debut of Shanghai's fashion and beauty parks and
communities appeals greatly to Osaka's business community. CREATER, a
Shanghai-based property operator
shared the experience of transforming the historic Yuyuan Road into
a fashion and creative hub, featuring worldwide launches of
products and a shining cluster of creative companies. Likewise,
Fengxian District's Oriental Beauty Valley, hailed as China's beauty and cosmetic industry capital,
stunned discerning Japanese consumers with leading Chinese beauty
brands and innovation.
As an intimate encounter with Shanghai lifestyle, the Public Open Days
attracted KOLs and Japanese consumers to a China market with fashion, home furnishings,
beauty products, and even a tea-sake oriental tea house. Shanghai
Chicmax exhibited its new products and introduced its Japanese
R&D center and factory. Shanghai brand "nice rice" offered to
consumers simple-lifestyle apparels. Hankyu Department Store opened
"WINDow of EAST" pop-up stores with works from six Chinese young
designers, curated by Shanghai Fashion Designers' Association.
The event went deeper to a "Shanghai-Osaka Forum", featuring a
panel on "Evolution of Consumer Culture", consisting of WWD China
chief content officer, founders of Herbeast and RichandRare
Jewellery, Confis' senior partner and a journalist from WWD Japan.
Another forum delved deep into sustainable urban renewal and green
design, a common challenge for Shanghai and Osaka, featuring Dezeen's China editor, famous Japanese architects,
Aedas's global design principal and UNS's director.
