China Fashion, Beauty, and Status

A Year on The Front Lines of Chinas Luxury and Apparel Markets

New York Michael Zakkour, an expert on strategic market planning and trends in China, has spent the last year analyzing Chinas new consumers. What he discovered is that many view fashion and luxury products in a very different way than they did even a couple of years ago.

Zakkour will deliver the keynote presentation at New Yorks Fashion Institute of Technology, Monday, October 3, highlighting the latest trends in Chinas apparel, accessories, body care, cosmetics, and fragrance categories. These trends will determine the purchase of billions of dollars in merchandise as Chinas middle and upper class continues their amazing growth.

Fashion is the external expression of Chinas economic success. These trends give insights into a dynamic generation of consumers, the size and likes of which we have not seen before, said Zakkour.
