“Matelo Cup” – First China Leisure Pants Design Contest & China Leisure Pants Fashion Trend Conference sponsored by China Fashion Color Association started formally in Beijing on May, 28th, 2007.

“We could not just depend on the advanced equipments to produce creative value and to automatically acquire business core competitiveness. The amount of R & D investment reflected the practical ability in industry creation.” pointed out the weakness of China textile and garments industry straightly by Du Yuzhou, the president of CNTAC.

Liang Yong, the executive vice-president of China Fashion Color Association said, China textile and garments industry saw the shift from starting business to innovation, which should stick to innovate from product to demand, from quality to brand.

Sun Ruizhe, vice-president of CNTAC indicated, “the attractive and personal images understood by people should be built to match with the status of China apparel onto the world stage.” Maybe one design contest could hardly change the international status of China garments, but after this “banquet”, people would find delightedly that China garments enterprises are drawing nearer to build up world-famous brands.
