Speaker: Lijuan Zhang, Colour Research Director, COLORO

China's total retail sales of consumer goods exceeded RMB 50 trillion for the first time in 2025, while clothing retail sales grew by just 3.2%. The question is no longer simply how much consumers spend, but what they choose to spend on.

This presentation will examine ten lifestyle trends expected to shape Chinese consumers between 2026 and 2028. Topics include changing perceptions of value, AI's role in purchase decisions, the shift from occasion-based to function-led consumption, and the evolving needs of older consumers.

Each trend will be connected to a corresponding colour direction, showing how colour can move beyond aesthetic preference to become a strategic tool grounded in consumer insight and traceable decision-making.

Using practical technology applications as examples, this session will explore how scientific information can be translated into messages consumers understand and use in everyday life.

As the industry faces increasingly complex product and market demands, brands can no longer drive transformation alone. Suppliers hold valuable technical knowledge, production expertise and practical solutions that can contribute much earlier in the development process.

The session will explore how manufacturers can move beyond fulfilling specifications to become genuine co-creation partners—and why the supply chain deserves a seat at the table.

The History of French Fragrance and Its Applications in Fashion

13:00–13:30 | Entrance Hall – Seminar Area

Speaker: Paul Saint Olive, Founder, PSO Fragrance

Fragrance has long extended beyond the body. For centuries, French traditions have used scent to enrich clothing, furniture, gardens and palaces.

Once associated with medicine and protection, fragrance gradually became a marker of elegance, taste and identity. In the 20th century, it moved further into the home, shaping the atmosphere of everyday life.

Today, the combination of fragrance and textiles offers a direct meeting point between scent and fashion. Paul Saint Olive will explore this relationship through his work with natural fragrance ingredients, including plants, flowers and resins, with an emphasis on preserving their original olfactory character.
