A Mechanism of the Chinese Fashion System.

This paper contributes to a theoretical discussion of fashion studies by using the framework of creative industries to analyze the Chinese fashion system. First, the paper relates the robust theoretical discussion about the term fashion system. Next, the paper considers how the concept of fashion system has been interwoven with the creative industries policies in China. The paper thus provides an empirical case on fashion diversity by describing how Chinese top-down governmental allocation and acceleration policies has uniquely created a new pathway to construct the fashion system in China.
