One exhibition booth at the ninth China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai looks more like a living room than a trade stand. A wooden desk sits by the curtains, flowers fill a vase on the coffee table, and framed prints hang above the armchairs. But look closer at the wood-paneled walls: two glowing recesses frame entire outfits, giving away that this is actually a fashion exhibit.

Elsewhere on the expo floor, denim commands a hall of its own. Rows of jeans and jackets curve around a long table, each piece lit like a museum portrait. Look closely and you'll spot a smaller detail: colorful Chinese embroidery on a deep-indigo tote designed for the Year of the Goat.
