ONTIMESHOW vs. MODE Shanghai — The Two Trade Shows of Shanghai Fashion Week
CBSR ·
ONTIMESHOW and MODE Shanghai are not the same show. Both are fashion trade shows on the official Shanghai Fashion Week schedule and both run during the same period, but their organizers and venues differ. In October 2026 (the 2027SS season), MODE Shanghai was held at Jing Yao Hongqiao T2 in Changning District and ONTIMESHOW at West Bund Art Center, each from October 8 to 12.
The two shows at a glance
Confirmed as of November 10, 2026.
- MODE Shanghai — the official trade show of Shanghai Fashion Week. The 2026 S/S edition (October 9–13, 2025) was held at Shanghai United Center; AW2026 (March 25–29, 2026) and 2027SS (October 8–12, 2026) were held at Jing Yao Hongqiao in Changning District.
- ONTIMESHOW — a trade show launched in 2014, on the official Shanghai Fashion Week schedule. Both AW2026 (March 25–29, 2026) and SS2027 (October 8–12, 2026) were held at West Bund Art Center, Shanghai.
What they share
Neither is a retail event. Both are trade shows where buyers view next season’s collections and place orders. Spring editions cover fall/winter; autumn editions cover the following spring/summer.
Their dates overlap as well. In 2026 the two shows ran on the same days: March 25–29 and October 8–12.
How they differ
The organizer and the venue are different. MODE Shanghai is the official trade show of Shanghai Fashion Week, while ONTIMESHOW is run by a separate organizer. Applications and screening are therefore handled separately for each show.
At MODE Shanghai 2027SS, the ten showrooms partnering with the show were officially introduced; they included Busan Collective, operated by CBSR, and Daegu Fashion Lab, whose participation CBSR coordinates.
Which show is the right fit
There is no single answer. It depends on the brand’s category and price range, the buyers it wants to meet, and its budget, so CBSR decides the show and the format together with each brand in a 1:1 consultation after the application.
CBSR has operated showrooms at MODE Shanghai for three consecutive seasons since October 2025, and for the 2027 F/W season it is accepting applications from Korean designer brands that want to exhibit together at ONTIMESHOW.
