Shaxi town is a famous town of casual wear in China. It enjoys the reputation of "casual wear to see Shaxi".

Since 2000, the ten China leisure wear fair and the two regional clothing design competition have been successfully held, known as the "barometer" of the casual clothing industry and the source of the fashion trend.

Apart from its unique industrial chain advantages, Shaxi is also fertile ground for nurture and hatch clothing designers.

Zhang Zhaoda, a famous fashion designer and art master, is a native of Shaxi. Dong Huaiguang, a famous fashion designer and founder of "TOM DONG", grew up in Shaxi. A group of famous designers of clothing design including Wu Xuewei, Fang Ying, Wang Yutao and Ma Dali also sped up art inspiration in Shaxi. Fang Jian Fu, Qiu Wei, Liu Liang and other famous designers were rooted in Shaxi, and devoted themselves to building the fashion dream of casual wear.

The 2015 "TOM DONG Cup" China (Shaxi) costume design competition is a creative journey after the "Bailida" cup and the "Tianzhu" cup. It will inherit and develop the concept of leisure fashion and fashion internationalization, and encourage designers from all over the country to play a creative role and lead the new mainstream of leisure clothing with fashion elements.

This year's competition comes from domestic and foreign fashion designers, students from home and abroad majoring in fashion design, and free fashion designers.

This will be a collision between new talent and elite fashion creation, and also a deep communication between domestic and international clothing culture.

It has also been strongly supported by the professional media and mass media such as China textile daily, China fashion magazine, fashion designer magazine and so on.

This will attract a group of talented people with fashion design and fashion design skills to compete.

If we say that the 2015 "TOM DONG Cup" China (Shaxi) costume design competition is the stage for young designers to display their talents, then China Shaxi fashion creative city is the platform for designers to make contributions.

The fashion creative city covers an area of 220 mu, which integrates the functions of personnel training, technological innovation, design and development, fashion publishing, e-commerce, business incubation and so on, serving the design competition and the development of the industry.
