Thank you to all the brands and designers who joined us for the first season of Ontimeshow. I look forward to seeing you all again in April 2015!

“Ontimeshow provides a good platform, and the staff are very professional; the reception desk, staff clothing, details are also in place, and next year will be even better.” -HELEN LEE team

Brand: Museum of Friendship

Designer: Tianmo Wang

 

Wang Tianmo, who is an up-and-coming designer based in London, brought a new brand, the Museum of Friendship, to Ontimeshow, which was just released at London Fashion Week. Wang Tianmo heard that North Korea has a "Friendship Museum", which preserved the national gifts given to them by the envoys of various countries, and introduced this interesting concept into their own designs. The concept of friendship should include family and love. She hope that girls in this series can remember their experiences and grow together.

 

“Ontimeshow is the first showroom I have attended in China. The most happy thing is that I can make a lot of new friends, and see many old friends, so that many people can personally experience their own clothes in China. This kind of platform is especially precious.” – Wang Tianmo

Brand: NI ATELIER

Designer: Xinni Li

 

I am very energetic, love life, love to travel, and have a strong interest in all kinds of life. Therefore, design inspiration is often obtained from everyday life and travel. After returning from New York, I started my own studio and fashion brand in Shanghai. I want to be simple and clever, so more than one line is too much design. NI ATELIER is a brand that pursues simplicity in design, ingenuity, and exquisite craftsmanship. We want our design to become a necessity for modern women to pursue a quality life. Because it focuses on necessity, our design is not exaggerated, not alternative, yet beautiful and practical. What we want to do is to not only be on trend, but also be classic.

 

“The venue for Ontimeshow is really great, in keeping with the minimalist style of our brand. The team and the overall style are very international. It was also a very pleasant surprise to be able to get to know a lot of international friends at the exhibition these past few days.” – Li Xinni

Brand: UIL.GNAY

Designer: Liu Yang

 

Most of Yang’s works have a fresh and elegant look. She has had a studio in Beijing with her good friend Luoluo for two years. For the first time, they took their offline collection to participate in Ontimeshow, and it was also the first time showing their own designs in a domestic show.

 

“We spent most of our time talking to visitors and presenting our designs to them. Ontimeshow has provided us with a new communication platform and many new gains.” – Liu Yang

Brand: LUO deLUCIE LUO

Designer: Zhi Luo

 

Zhi Luo is a hearthy Northern girl whose friends refer to her affectionately as "Luoluo." After returning from France, she did not hesitate when her good friend Liu Yang suggested setting up a studio in Beijing to start her own design career. This time at Ontimeshow, she brought her own offline collection for the first time. The work continues the atmosphere and simplicity of the online collection, adding bright colors, while focusing on fabrics and tailoring.

 

“The platform provided by Ontimeshow brings more orders and partners, opening a new development path for our offline work.” – Zhi Luo

Brand: X.Q.ZHANG

Designer: Xiaoqing Zhang

 

The tall Xiaoqing Zhang, who stands at 180cm, is very conspicuous at Ontimeshow. The experience of walking the the runway and a life travelling around the world have brought her numerous creative inspirations. After ten years in the business, she has always insisted on focusing on the process from design, pattern making to final sewing. The elegant and exquisite design concept is reflected in every detail.

 

“Participating in Ontimeshow has given me a lot of opportunities to communicate with different designers. I usually only focus on design, and now I am forced to do the marketing myself. As an independent designer, Ontimeshow's platform provides us with a perfect window for dialogue with showrooms.” – Xiaoqing Zhang

Brand: Gifeodora

Designer: Lilas (Fangli Guo)

 

Lilas's personal dress is full of intellectual beauty. The patterns she personally hand-painted on the clothes this season are very special. This makes her clothes easily attract the attention of everyone. She is good at drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese culture. For example, she used the lines of the three halls of the Forbidden City as a line drawing on the clothes in a way that looked elegant and modern.

 

“Many new friends came to Ontimeshow to communicate with other designers at the booth, which caused a lot of sparks, and gave me more new inspirations and ideas.” – Lilas

Brand: Sin’s Suit

Designer: Alex Shen

 

Alex, who looks soft and quiet, is actually cheerful and talkative. She graduated from college and officially set foot on the road of fashion design. She has a deep knowledge of traditional Chinese culture. She has always been immersed in Japanese pioneering design, which gives her work agility and wit. Designed for young people, the use of reflective materials adds fun.

 

“Ontimeshow has brought me new opportunities for cooperation and new friends. I am very tired from talking to customers, but I feel very good.” Alex Shen

Brand: HUIMAN

Designer: Xiaowen Zhou

 

Xiaowen Zhou loves to travel, and has traveled to more than 30 countries. She often travels alone and this makes her pay special attention to the practicality of clothes. For example, she may add a rope up to 3 meters long to the woollen lining of a waterproofed hat in order to prepare for unexpected situations. This may be unexpected for people who are not well travelled. Unlike what ordinary people might conceive, she designed a pure white bag for friends who are also passionate about traveling. It seems to not be suited to travel because all kinds of traces may show up, yet this satisfies travellers’ biggest wish: to take the world home with them. Xiaowen Zhou named the brand HUIMAN, specially adding an "I" in the middle of human, hoping that more people can live as freely as she does.

 

“Ontimeshow is like a long-awaited reunion, and I want to allow HUIMAN to encounter people who like him.”

Brand: CHairEYEs

Designer: Yuan Zhou

 

Yuan Zhou looks as cool as his glasses, and he has a lot of endearing traits: he loves to run at night, laughs a lot, and is passionate and courteous. He incorporated the word “chair” into his brand’s name, which seemingly has nothing to do with eyewear, but his intention was that he hopes everyone can “sit down” like a friend, communicate more, and enjoy the fun of a uniquely designed pair of glasses. Even among Ontimeshow's dazzling array of jewelry and accessories, his eyewear collection is not inferior to the foreign brands exhibited at the same time.

 

“Ontimeshow is very professional, and the environment and space are great! It also fits well with our brand style.” – Yuan Zhou

Brand: HEFANG Jewelry

Designer: Hefang Sun

 

Most of the people who first see Hefang Sun will be surprised. This petite and exquisite beauty designer once had a personal piece published in the London Eye, which has long been famous.

 

This is the first time I took part in a still fashion exhibition, and I felt very good about the experience of Ontimeshow. The mix of brands at Ontimeshow gives it a very unique charm.

 

The chic design of the HEFANG Jewelry brand has attracted a lot of attention, especially the gourmet collection that was designed with Qingyang Liu. I am a persistent and more real person. I prefer the classic series, but I am very happy that the more trendy jewellery was also well-received.

How was the feedback for our showroom?

Our original idea was to build a communication window between designers and showrooms on the platform itself. Over the three days when we were not open to the public, we saw very pleasant interactions between our designers and the showroom.

We are very fortunate that instead of his usual trip to South Korea he came to Ontimeshow, and it was definitely worthwhile; he brought home orders for over 1000 pieces in three days.

SWEEDPR

 

“As for Ontimeshow itself, it presented also lifestyle products rather than just apparel, the venue and set up also sent out good communication and vibes. Therefore, it worked quite well with our booth. We visited Shanghai Showroom as well and comparing these two, we definitely think Ontimeshow made better communication and provided better vibe since after all, it's a tradeshow about fashion and lifestyle, branding, image and communication is vital.”

 

Sweedpr from Sweden is focused on introducing contemporary Nordic fashion brands with unique tastes, ideas and designs to the Chinese market.
