Shanghai Fashion Industry Park, located at 1718 Tianshan Road, was established in spring of 2005 and jointly renovated by the municipal and district governments from the former old buildings of General Clutch Factory of SAIC Motor, which was relocated to the suburbs in 1996 as a result of the industrial restructuring. The old buildings before the renovation were full of messy workshops, hued corridors, and all the left-over historical traumas. In 2005, the Municipality and the District joined hands in making an investment of more than RMB12 million in the renovation of the old factory buildings, in addition to inviting the China Fashion Association to jointly build up a fashion park.
Among the enterprises and institutions stationed in the park are China Fashion Design Research Center Shanghai Branch, Shanghai Branch of Japan Bunka Fashion College, Maogeping Image Design Art School, and others. Since Zhang Yichao Design Studio, also known as Shanghai Zhang Yichao Garments Co., Ltd. (boasting its original brand "IS.CHAO"), has been introduced into the Park. The Park has brought in 10-odd famous domestic brand design and display studios such as "NE TIGER", “BALHARBOR ", "GIORZIO" and others. Zhang Yichao from the West Lake of Hangzhou has opened 30 franchised stores in one year since her first settlement in the Park. The GIORZIO women garments from Haining, Zhejiang Province, after setting up a latest product showroom of 300-odd square meters in the Park in 2006, has seen a rapid expansion ever since. For more than two years of operation, the Fashion Industry Park, which has clustered fashion design and creative D&R companies and institutions with certain influence in China in the 6 buildings covering a total area of more than 8,700 square meters, has established its fame in the domestic fashion industry.
Today, the Park is justified to boast the model agencies, the visual art center of "No. 5 Workshop", the China Secretariat of the Asia Fashion Federation and other industry organizations. And the Park has on the whole become a highly fashionable location integrating the package and release, product R&D, and information exchange of the domestic fashion brands. Taking the nearby institutions such as Donghua University and Shanghai University of Engineering Science into consideration, Chen Yi said that the Park has forged an industry chain of fashion design, which has attracted over ten domestic apparel companies with their own respective brands.
