Pronounce SS18 at Shanghai Fashion Week. Shanghai Fashion Week

China’s most prominent fashion week will now host its Autumn/Winter edition from April 6 to 13, according to an official announcement from its organising committee.

Shanghai Fashion Week was originally slated to run at the end of March, but in January the event was postponed in the wake of a small outbreak of Covid-19 cases in Shanghai, concentrated in the same downtown district as many fashion week events are hosted. After placing several residential communities within Huangpu District into quarantine, that outbreak was subdued, with no new cases emerging in recent weeks.

The event is now set to run offline and in person, with runway shows, exhibitions and showrooms to be hosted as normal.
