Top French designers Yassen and Livia are rewriting the fashion rulebook at the 3rd Chaoshan International Textile and Garment Exhibition (CTGE), blending Parisian chic with Chinese artistry 🇨🇳🤝🇫🇷. Their visit coincides with the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic relations, turning the event into a celebration of cultural fusion.
“We thought we’d seen it all – until Chaoshan blew our minds!” the designers shared, referencing their brand’s philosophy of unexpected creativity. The duo marveled at the region’s sprawling textile networks, calling it “a designer’s playground” where ancient embroidery techniques meet cutting-edge production.
Their collection-in-progress draws inspiration from local folklore and traditional art forms, proving that silk roads still spark innovation 🎨✂️. As night markets meet haute couture, this collab shows how global fashion is becoming a two-way conversation.
With over 1,500 exhibitors at CTGE, the event highlights China’s growing role as both cultural muse and manufacturing powerhouse. As one young attendee put it: “This is what happens when croissants share the table with chaoshan gongfu cha!” ☕🥐
