The show brought together industry audiences from Chengdu and Chongqing, including experts, brand owners, buyers, and fashion media, and attracted a large number of local residents to attend. The event reached multiple climaxes, earning rounds of applause from the audience.

In recent years, design cooperation between Chengdu and Chongqing has continued to deepen. The two cities jointly launched the “Sichuan-Chongqing Industrial Design Empowerment Cloud Platform,” pooling innovation and supply chain resources from both regions to boost high-quality manufacturing development. They successfully held in Chongqing the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle Fashion Industry Ecosystem Conference and the Chongqing Clothing Industry Brain Launch Event, using the industry brain to break down data silos across design, production, and sales, and accelerating the construction of a new Chengdu-Chongqing fashion industry ecosystem. They also actively organized the “Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle AI and Product Design Advanced Training Program,” building a comprehensive platform for design talent from both regions that integrates technical exchange and capability enhancement. During this fashion week, the “General Specifications for the Creation and Measurement of Well-Known Trademarks and Brands in Sichuan and Chongqing” was also released, providing solid institutional support for enhancing brand value and building integrated regional brands.

Wang Jianna, Secretary-General of the Chongqing Fashion Designers Association, stated that under the national strategy of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, both regions should fully leverage their respective advantages to achieve resource complementarity, differentiated development, and mutual benefit. This will help Chongqing‘s original design forces shine even brighter in the Chengdu-Chongqing fashion ecosystem and promote the effective conversion of design orders into business. She expressed hope that enterprises in Chengdu and Chongqing will continue to strengthen cooperation in the future, using design as a bridge to promote mutual integration between the two cities and jointly create more new possibilities in design.
