The Spring/Summer 2023 Shenzhen Fashion Week kicked off at OCT Harbor in Nanshan District yesterday, with Laurèl, a German womenswear brand under local fashion powerhouse ELLASSAY, and luxury car brand Audi joining hands to stage the opening runway show.

The 10-day itinerary includes nearly 70 runway shows with over 300 brands presenting their new Spring/Summer 2023 collections.

Themed “We Can Be,” the event aims to be the world’s first carbon-neutral fashion week, according to its organizers.

To achieve the vision, it will launch a carbon neutrality initiative, calling on guests and enterprises to reduce their carbon footprints through practical actions.
