LARUICCI MEETS CHINESE TEXTILE INNOVATION:
A NEW FASHION DIALOGUE BETWEEN NEW YORK, PARIS AND SHAOXING
A 25-look runway presentation celebrates the creative intersection of fashion, textile innovation, and cultural exchange at the China–France International Fashion Release Day. SHAOXING, CHINA — NOVEMBER 6, 2026 — New York- and Paris-based fashion house LARUICCI partnered with the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC) to present an exclusive 25-look runway show during the China–France International Fashion Release Day in Keqiao District, Shaoxing, China.
Inspired by a glittering night sky, the collection brings together everyday functionality and unapologetic glamour. Accents of silver and gold illuminate dynamic silhouettes, transitioning effortlessly from daytime dressing to striking evening statements. Through transformable ready-to-wear, innovative details, statement jewelry, and distinctive footwear, the collection celebrates versatility, reinvention, and fearless self expression.
At the heart of the collaboration is the creative exploration of Shaoxing’s textile innovation. Advanced technical fabrics meet natural textures, creating unexpected contrasts in structure, fluidity, and movement while introducing new possibilities for LARUICCI’s signature aesthetic. “The textiles in Shaoxing are incredibly innovative. Their technical capabilities and exceptional quality brought so much to our designs, elevating the entire collection and the way each look moves and flows. Collaborating with CNTAC allowed us to explore exciting new creative possibilities.” — Cem Cinar, Creative Director, LARUICCI.
More than a runway presentation, the collaboration celebrates the possibilities of international creative exchange, bringing together design and textile expertise across China and the West. “I believe the process becomes even stronger when we work together at every stage, all the way through the production line. Bringing our teams in China and the West together creates a better understanding, a stronger working relationship, and ultimately a better result for everyone involved. These collaborations allow us to learn from one another and create something truly special.” — Lauren Ruicci, Founder, Designer & CEO, LARUICCI.
The project was organized by the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC), with coordination and production managed by its representative in France, AUBE Agency. The LARUICCI runway show took place November 6 at the CBD of China Textile City Fashion Release Center in Keqiao District, Shaoxing. Through this partnership, LARUICCI reinforces its commitment to fearless creativity, international collaboration, and the evolving relationship between fashion and textile innovation.
