It will accelerate collaborations and development between the fashion industry and adjacent industries such as digital technology and media,” explained Alvanon founder and CEO Janice Wang.
SHAEC partner Jenny Liu, who has over 25 years’ media experience added: “For a very long time there has been a big gap in the Chinese market between international brands and local know-how, SHAEC will bring the key players together and provide the resources, tools, news and information businesses really need to thrive and succeed in the Chinese and wider global market.”
