A long-awaited lifestyle showcase landed in Shanghai last Friday. Attendees met the perfect 10 from Thailand at the THAI 10 LUXE Global Lifestyle Showcase, which made its grand debut in Shanghai.
Ten luxury brands from Thailand featured their products at an exclusive celebrity-filled event at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel. The Thai brand heroes — including those in the fashion, home accessories, furniture and lifestyle realms — showed off their latest designs and products for the Chinese market.
The opening ceremony was presided over by Mrs. Chantira Jimreivat Vivatrat, Director General of the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), and Miss Ranoppun Kapittai, the Deputy Consul General of the Royal Thai Consulate General in Shanghai.
Guests were joined by Xiao Hui Wang, recognized as one of the most influential Chinese artists in the world. She shared her insights on changing consumer tastes in China and the great opportunities for those seeking culturally distinct goods to seek Thai products. Thailand offers quality and styling not often found in the Chinese market, and they are a step ahead in creativity over many European brands.
Peter Xu, one of the top connoisseurs and influencers in the Chinese luxury market, also shared his favorites from the show, and discussed his opinions on the unique designs presented at the event. Not only a refined luxury buyer, Xu is also a talented videographer. Fans can watch for his short feature videos highlighting the best of the show.
The event spanned the entire day, from 10am to 10pm, and included time for buyers, consumers, media and fans to attend. It wrapped up with a party at 7pm that included the designers of all the featured brands. Top government officials from Thailand, both here and abroad, also joined in.
