The 2013 Harbin International Fashion Week will open at Hongbo Plaza in Harbin on Dec 12.

According to Yang Jie, chairman of the Harbin Women’s Federation, the fashion week has garnered attention from home and abroad. Harbin will take this chance to promote fashion-related communications and trade discussions with Russia. In addition, Harbin will also combine fashionable culture with travel and cultural transmissions, working to display the multidimensional beauty of the so-called “Paris of the Orient” and “Eastern Moscow.”

This year, the fashion week will have support from many parties, including six provincial garment associations (Beijing, Shandong, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Shenzhen), Russian professionals, four top Chinese instructors, 10 well-known Chinese brands, 30 “new strength” designers, 10 venture capital firms, 10 top commercial enterprises, 50 famous media agencies and numerous professionals in the fashion field.

All of them are joining hands to ensure that the 2013 Harbin International Fashion Week is the ideal platform for Chinese “new strength.”

The fashion week has been successfully held two times. With support from all parties, the fashion week has become a calling card for Harbin.

The 2013 Harbin International Fashion Week will take “New Strength Dream” as the theme, aiming to make the fashion week one of the top fashion shows in the world.

The 2013 Harbin International Fashion Week will last for five days, including many interesting events represented by a launching ceremony, a closing ceremony, a creative brands conference, a 2013 Chinese new strength talk and a “New Strength Dream” exhibition.
