In recent years, the popularity of national fashion has increased and the self-pleasing consumption trend has intensified. Consumers’ demand for national fashion, designer style and luxury goods is on the rise. This is certainly good news for domestic brands. The shifting consumption preferences of the younger generation of consumers will undoubtedly become the driving force for their innovation. Domestic clothing brands should take advantage of this trend to develop and win the market with products of both fashion and quality.
