Which city hosts the biannual Shanghai Fashion Week?

Shanghai Fashion Week is hosted in Shanghai, China, and is held as a major biannual fashion event.

The event forms part of Shanghai’s wider fashion industry, bringing together runway presentations, showrooms, trade activity, and related cultural programming. It is especially associated with emerging Chinese labels and designers seeking international attention.

Shanghai’s role is more than geographic. The city has long been one of China’s principal commercial and creative centers, with a large textile, retail, media, and design ecosystem. That infrastructure helps connect designers with buyers and manufacturers.

Shanghai Fashion Week should not be confused with China Fashion Week, which is associated with Beijing and the China Fashion Association. Both are important Chinese fashion events, but they are separate calendars in different cities.
