The 2026 VOGUE Forces of Fashion China kicked off at Shishan Cultural Square in Suzhou, Jiangsu province last Friday, bringing together designers, artisans, and cross-disciplinary creators for a two-day dialogue between Eastern aesthetics and global fashion. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]

Beyond the heritage session, two other panels: "Joy, Worn on the Face" explored beauty and daily well-being, discussing how beauty can be a source of joy rather than pressure; "Nourish in Your Own Color" shared diverse perspectives on women's self-growth and personal empowerment.

Now in its fourth year, the 2026 VOGUE China Fashion Fund runs under the theme "Beyond the East". Ten emerging fashion and jewelry designers created collections rooted in Eastern culture while also exploring innovative down jacket designs with domestic brand Bosideng, bridging high-concept runway creativity with broader consumer markets.
