At the ninth China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, one of the trade booths looks more like a living room than a standard exhibition. It features a wooden table next to curtains, and on the coffee table, there are flowers in a vase, with framed pictures hanging above the chairs.
Upon closer inspection, it is visible that the wooden panels of the booths frame two illuminated niches displaying complete fashion ensembles, indicating that this is effectively a fashion show.
In another area of the exhibition hall, a separate room is dedicated to denim clothing. Rows of jeans and jackets are curved around a long table, and each item is lit like a museum portrait. Upon closer look, one can notice a small detail: bright Chinese embroidery on a dark indigo tote bag intended for the Year of the Goat.
