To promote the development of the fashion design industry in Macao, the Cultural Affairs Bureau of the Macau S.A.R. Government has launched the Subsidy Programme for Fashion Design on Sample Making since 2013. The programme aims to encourage innovation in local fashion design and promote fashion designers to draw up feasible and optimised business plans, encourage the industry to be involved in commercial activities or participate in local and international fashion marketing activities, thereby enhancing the popularity and market competitiveness of the local industry and carrying forward the sustainable development of the local fashion design industry.
This exhibition, apart from familiarising the public with local fashion design, it also provides a platform for exchanges among designers for more cooperation opportunities, in order to help the local fashion brands to spur broader development.
