Unlike in the past, when order-placing meeting to decide next year's spring and autumn men's clothing were held in October, this year's meeting began early in September.
Of all the men's clothing brands from Fujian Province that held the meet, Septwolves brand was the first to organize an order-placing meeting.
This is a new trend because till now, order-placing meetings were held once a year. However, this year, manufacturers have decided to hold four such gatherings in a year.
Experts have cited a number of reasons for this phenomenon. Firstly, they said the rise in the number of meetings points to the improved state of the production cycle.
Another determining factor could be better design ability of local clothing enterprises. Experts also feel that the change in the trend of meeting could mean that Chinese men's clothing enterprises are following their Western counterparts as the latter hold order-placing meetings every six months.
The venue of the order-placing meetings has also changed. Now, these meetings are not just confined to provinces but are held in big cities throughout the country.
