On the morning of September 29th, the “2017 China Apparel Hangzhou Summit” ushered in the theme forum of “New Power: Integration of Technology, Art and Fashion”, which exchanged ideas on technology change, product innovation and service design, and art for brand empowerment.

On the theme forum, British fashion expert Allanna McAspurn gave a speech on the theme of 'One Belt, One Road initiative and sustainable development'. The following is the speech:

Good morning everyone, I am very honored to attend this summit. I told my grandmother that I am going to Hangzhou, China. She said that your life is really wonderful. This is the Yangtze River. For my grandmother, I can travel around the world. It is an unimaginable life to go to Africa and China. Now with the development of technology, many of us here are recognized as individuals, free companies can travel and work in many countries and even continents, then I look at such an industry from my personal experience. I have been to Shanghai. I used to come to Shanghai with my mother when I was a child. At that time, I felt that Shanghai fashion has great potential, so I have a very deep feeling for China. . First of all, I want to reiterate the vision of the “Belt and Road”. There are 4 billion people involved in the “Belt and Road”. The GDP of the “Belt and Road” countries will account for 55% of the world's total, and the population accounts for 70% of the world's total. To 75% of the world, this is a very far-reaching initiative. Through this initiative, China is very optimistic. In the “Belt and Road” countries, the trade volume will reach 2.5 trillion US dollars in the next 10 years. I have no way to be very clear. I understand the relationship between the “Belt and Road” and the fashion industry, but I have worked in Europe. I have also witnessed some changes in the fashion industry. So I would like to give a few examples and want to talk about the “One Belt, One Road” interconnection to the world. What kind of impact does intercommunication have?

The Silk Road began 2000 years ago, when people from Europe and continental Europe traded through the Silk Road and exchanged culture. In the 20th century, German geographers named it the Silk Road and found it. On this Silk Road there are pilgrims, nomads and merchants exchange services as well as goods, information and culture. Now in the 21st century, the Silk Road is a peace and sharing benefit, and cooperation is needed The development of the project, especially the Silk Road Economic Belt, can develop the economic development of Eurasia and maintain regional stability. Both China and Europe can develop new production through the Silk Road and ensure the supply of energy. We can not only develop our economy through the Silk Road, but also the development of energy and other fields. We can achieve interoperability, while also being able to protect natural resources, as well as biodiversity and environmental protection. And can cooperate in dealing with climate change.

I think everyone is familiar with this map, because today's second day of the "Belt and Road" conference, I would like to invite everyone to pay attention to the following Silk Road starting point in East Africa and its for the entire Eurasia Significance, China and Africa are historically considered to be paradise on earth. China's resources are relatively limited, but in terms of capital attraction, there is still great development in global competitiveness, and it is also the foundation of China. Facilities are also very well developed, and Africa has a large population, is very young, has a lot of natural resources, and has a large supply of land, but it requires a lot of infrastructure investment. Unfortunately, a survey was conducted a few months ago. It is estimated that more than 10,000 Chinese companies are now operating in Africa, which is also an interest in China's investment in the African continent. Chinese garment manufacturers are also very interested in African investment, especially in Ethiopia and Kenya. Ethiopia is also very encouraging Chinese companies to invest in trade and bandwidth as well as government support. They will The country's economic development strategy, especially those that tend to come from China, Ethiopia also has many advantages in the fashion industry. The average wage is only 1/6 compared with Guangdong. It is easy to enter the European market through Ethiopia. It is also very cheap. These are the competitive advantages of Ethiopia. Compared with other countries, they are more willing to welcome investment from China, so international brands like PH are also building factories. The development of Ethiopia's railways is also very powerful. There is a bloody and teary manufacturer who says that their shoe factories are only 1 km away from the railway line. They are in shoes... This mode of transportation is a paradigm shift that can be quickly Meeting the needs of consumers around the world. Kenya is a very strong partner of China. The relationship between the two governments and the commercial investment and activities are also very active. The USA also has self-help trade and investment centers in East Africa. A factory from Jiangsu, China, has also invested $1 million in Kenya. China has invested 609 kilometers of railway lines, bringing the investment to 3.8 billion US dollars, connecting Kenya's very important ports, most of which are from factories. And the fabrics can be transported to the port via such a railway line, which is very convenient. I used to work in an industrial park in Africa. This is an industrial park invested by... An industrial park can also be connected with the “One Belt, One Road” project. The raw materials they produce can be quickly obtained, and there are Workers are also very good skills, and now they have a train of their own to further train these workers. From our strike to where it takes only one hour to get to the industrial park, it takes three and a half hours to walk the road, and more than six hours to go back and forth. China also supports Africa's self-development plan. Including the plan of the African Union 2063, so China is also very active in the development of the corresponding African countries.

These “Belt and Road” countries from China to Europe are actually different between the level of democratic natural resources and economic development and even the management of these conflicts in the country, but we cannot ignore some of their related developments, and we To their bridge with East Asia and Europe, they call them the hub of transportation, connecting East and West. The “Belt and Road” seems to be a perfect solution to these problems, and it is better to connect these countries. First, we see that they meet local needs, the second point can promote their import and export, and the third point can benefit from such a transshipment service. “One Belt and One Road”, especially connecting the two giants of clothing and textile industry, is that Europe and China are connected. First of all, China’s production capacity is unparalleled in the world. In 2014, China’s textile fiber production exceeded 5000. 10,000 tons, accounting for 54.36% of the world's share. By 2013, there were 64.2% of chemical fiber, 64.1% of synthetic fiber, and 62.2% of cotton was produced in China. The same China has achieved 29.9 billion units in 2014,... We have seen that despite the slowdown in production capacity, it is still a great potential to consider these companies in Europe and the US fashion industry. For example, the production of Vietnamese clothing is 28.5 units. All the way, of course, will continue to promote the development of textile production and trade in China and Europe.

London is a European city in the 15th century. It hopes to expand the transportation of some goods to China. Last year, 1702 freight trains arrived in Europe, which has doubled since 2015. In fact, these general air cargo has dropped. We can have linear transportation and support global development. We can see that they are using rail transportation. In fact, we can make good use of these logistics, and they also use sea transportation to transport in various logistics centers, so the overall The investment data also shows that the “Belt and Road” has played an important role in the past three years, and the “Belt and Road” has indeed played a positive role. We still don't know how far its impact is. Well, let's see how the “Belt and Road” affects our apparel industry and production. 62% of the brands accept McKinsey's survey that the purchases of Chinese companies will now be 2020. Declining, but still dominated, exports in 2016 were almost $117 billion, while Vietnam and Bangladesh were $28 billion. We believe that the “Belt and Road” and China Manufacturing will maintain a growth in China in 2020, while China’s garment production is also kicking. The role of doors in apparel procurement also actively promotes foreign investment. For example, Vietnam and Ethiopia have enabled them to develop on a large scale, as well as trade agreements using the markets of their countries. We know that there is no other scale that can replace China, but China's garment industry is also hoping to improve efficiency, and it can also improve its efficiency through digitalization and automation. 50% of companies expect to purchase the location of 2025. Based on the perspective of automation rather than just considering cost, 80% feel that China is a leader in digital procurement, and we also expect a parallel development in fashion apparel production.

Eskar is also a very good company that can make good use of different cross-regional purchases. It is automated with the apparel industry. Traditionally, they need workers to be able to cut, cut, etc., which may have been needed before. These workers, who used to have 40,000 workers, now have fewer workers, but they have more profitability, and they have invested a lot in machinery and development. They hope to hire the best engineers and be able to automate them. . It has a very solid foundation for implementation...you can't find the supply that is done like this, but we look at our factory, we see the growth of China's workforce, and some countries now have cheaper labor.


On the morning of September 29th, the “2017 China Apparel Hangzhou Summit” ushered in the theme forum of “New Power: Integration of Technology, Art and Fashion”, which exchanged ideas on technology change, product innovation and service design, and art for brand empowerment. On the theme forum, British fashion expert Allanna McAspurn gave a speech on the theme of 'One Belt, One Road initiative and sustainable development'.

There are also corresponding investments in processing equipment and so on. I hope to follow the “One Belt, One Road” road to make corresponding investments in Xinjiang. They also see that the “One Belt, One Road” investment can urgently help their business growth. China used to be a cheap labor main city. Now we have highly skilled workers who can achieve good production and at the same time make sustainable development play an important role. Like China, the EU has undergone profound changes over the past 20 years. The industry in the EU is mainly dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. They have given up on low-value, large-scale production. They hope to have new applications and can see To the development of various consumer goods industries. The European industry has maintained a high value-added position, especially in the supply chain, which is linked to just the ability of advanced technology with extremely high industrial technology. Europe has also played an important role in design, proofing, etc., brand building, etc. They are doing the most attractive ways in Europe and the world, and ensuring production capacity in Eastern Europe, especially these mid- to high-end luxury brands. Let's take a look at the current major sales promotion in the apparel industry. One is digital, digital is from the Internet, we have online distribution and sales, can transform our industry, and in the past is some traditional retail industry, now we have an online platform, and we can predict very well What do consumers buy and what they buy? Consumers of social media can also put down their comments very well, and can also shorten the purchase of such a route, and can provide convenience stores for online purchase. We have seen retailers see this form, and are very good at researching consumer behavior, so we must be very flexible and able to meet the needs of consumers. We zoom in to see the whole process of value creation. Although the most advanced, such as the brand HZ, etc., have a very complicated process, but now with the process of digital integration, we can accelerate a concept from the concept to the market. the process of.

Digitization gives us a lot of potential to shorten delivery times and provide consumers with the products they need, so we can see that digitization can also shorten the delivery time of 2-8 weeks, enabling them to This demand is driven by the flexibility of the market. We can also see that at least 2.5% of the cost can be reduced by digitization, and not only accelerates the process of our procurement but also provides analysis from the supply chain, making full use of automation and digitization, which is also casting our future.

In fact, I also have a problem. If you want me to accelerate, I can speed up my speech. We have subverted the entire clothing industry through digitalization. The new base has enabled the retail of clothing to be developed. They have not done it before. Design, there is no inventory, they just have a platform for data, and it is also very successful. Every year, the income is 300% growth. Now we have 3 million products, 40 million per year, and some data. Company, ... This is to let us better understand the consumer, and we can capture the value from the deep analysis of their purchase, can understand the consumer's consumption behavior, and when to buy? What to buy? We are providing pictures of these data, such as in London and New York, and even dividing New York into constant areas, such as Manhattan, when do you want to spend? When is the sale? These are all happening in real time. Digitalization has played a major role in the fashion industry. The development of technology and technology has also played an important role. We look at the European technology platform above the entire supply chain and also make good use of the natural fiber. The application of the next high-performance fiber they have a high production efficiency is more sustainable for a performance. At the same time, the small-scale production of integrated digital can help us to develop rapidly or to certify the whole process. The small such recycling project can also be better carried out, decomposed and biodegraded.

In summary, the “One Belt, One Road” concept has a huge potential to create a more efficient value chain, service and clothing, while enabling new data, design, and production to connect with the new consumer market. Together, we can make our development market better respond to the needs of consumers more quickly, while ensuring our competitiveness. Of course, the “One Belt, One Road” project will also have corresponding challenges, but there is nothing that is impossible with this kind of savage. We all need to try it. Thank you very much for letting me come to such a beautiful place as Hangzhou. My grandmother always hopes to travel on the Yangtze River, I hope I can share it on the Yangtze River, thank you!
