China in-store 2021 will be postponed

Currently, international travel to China still remains highly restricted, and the outbreak of COVID-19 continues to create uncertainties for retail brands in their offline expansion and sourcing plans. In view of the situation, the organizers have decided, after careful consideration, to postpone the 7th edition of China in-store (Shanghai’s International Trade Fair for Solutions and Trends all about Retail), originally scheduled to be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre from August 31st to September 2nd, 2021. The new date and planning will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Witnessing normally a high percentage of international exhibitors and visitors, we decide to postpone China in-store 2021 during the special period in order to gain more time on travel normalization, get well prepared to welcome the fully recovered retail industry and to build a higher quality sourcing and communication platform.” said by Marius Berlemann, General Manager of Messe Düsseldorf (Shanghai) Co., Ltd..

For the next edition, China in-store will continue to focus on innovative solutions in five dimensions: Shop Fittings & Store Design, Visual Merchandising, Retail Lighting, Smart Retail Technology and Retail Marketing. The innovative supporting programme, including Retail Stage, H!Tech Stage, ReTailor Hub, EuroShop RetailDesign Award China, Retail Technology Award China as well as Visual Merchandising Challenge will offer the opportunity for visitors to discuss hot topics with excellent solution providers, leading retail brands, shopping mall executives and academic experts.

In the next stage, Messe Düsseldorf Shanghai will organize a series of offline networking events to share retail industry insights and build deep connections. Meanwhile, the organizer will continue to work with trade media, associations, research institutes and the EuroShop Trade Fair Family to collect the latest and most comprehensive retail information for retail professionals and publish on China in-store official website, WeChat and LinkedIn so that retailers can keep up to date with the latest trends in the retail industry.

London-based Machine-A opens its first store in China

2022-06-24

London-based multi-brand luxury retailer Machine-A is set to open its first permanent international store in Shanghai this September.

Located in the heart of Jing’an District, the 245spm flagship will host Raf Simons’s first direct-to-consumer location in the country. Glenn Sestig Architects and Pejing Lu are behind the store’s interior design.

Stavros Karelis, founder and buying director of Machine-A, said the international expansion is a “natural step” for the brand.

“I know that a concept store is not unique anymore, especially in Shanghai, where multi-brand stores are booming,” he said. “But based on our experience in London, I think we can still offer something that is going to be different from what exists there.”

Founded in 2013 by Karelis, Machine-A gains popularity among young audiences for its fashion approach to merchandising selection and genderless style. The retail showcases new design talents’ work alongside luxury brands such as Raf Simons, Maison Margiela, Rick Owens and Comme Des Garçons.
