How China's Gen Z Defines Its Personal Style, According to Coach CEO

For the younger generation in China, fashion is transforming: it is becoming less about demonstrating status and more about self-expression. During the China International Import Expo (CIIE) 2026, CGTN digital correspondent Yu Xiuyuan spoke with the CEO of Coach China to learn what distinguishes this generation.

Unlike millennials and previous generations, young Chinese consumers have a clearer understanding of their desires and the reasons behind those desires. Instead of acquiring luxury items for status, they are increasingly choosing items that reflect their individuality, values, and personal stories.

Thus, the next major trend in the luxury sector may be determined not by what a person owns, but by what those items say about them.
