Chinese fashion trends
What's actually moving in Chinese fashion right now?
MEI tracks the online stores of 15 Chinese fashion labels every day, looking at changes in size availability, sell-outs, restocks, markdowns and new releases.
This isn't a forecast or an editor's pick. The pieces below appear because something measurable happened in the brands' own stores.
Edition
013
Compiled 15 September 2026
7,918products tracked across 15 labels
71signals selected for this edition
10 of these are changes since the previous check — products selling out, coming back into stock or being repriced. The rest are current signals such as low size availability, markdowns and newly released products. 36 changes were recorded in all; only a few from each label are shown.
Prices are shown exactly as they appeared in each brand's store, in the currency and market served at the time of checking.

The 15 labels, and why they are the 15
This is a curated sample, not an index of Chinese fashion. It covers 15 labels that MEI has chosen to follow, and it should not be read as representative of the market as a whole.
A label is on the roster if at least one of three things is true: there is measured Western search demand for it, a taste-making retailer has chosen to carry it, or MEI has written down an editorial argument for it. Being technically easy to read is explicitly not a reason.
The roster was not built that way to begin with, and the record says so: 62 domains were guessed, 15 of them turned out to publish a readable catalogue, and for a while that was the whole selection. Every label has since been checked by hand against Farfetch, SSENSE, Net-a-Porter and Selfridges; where nothing was found, the table says what was actually looked for rather than leaving the label to look unexamined.
The mix. 5 bags, 4 womenswear, 2 menswear, 1 footwear, 1 heritage, 1 jewellery, 1 streetwear. All are Chinese-founded or China-based and sell directly through their own online store, which is what makes stock readable at all.
Two are borderline by MEI's own definition. Doughnut (Hong Kong. Editorial call whether it counts as Chinese fashion.) Ports 1961 (Canadian-founded, Shanghai-headquartered. Editorial call whether it counts as Chinese fashion.)
The largest known gap. Li-Ning carries roughly 119,000 searches a month and is absent for a technical reason rather than an editorial one: its store sits behind a bot-protection challenge, and MEI reads nothing it has not been invited to read. Feiyue, Uma Wang and SHUSHU/TONG are absent for related reasons. Their absence is a limit of this page, not a judgement about the brands.

Search demand is measured against a 6,210-row US and UK keyword set. Retailer listings are recorded by hand with a source and a date; a brand's own boutique is not counted, since the signal is another company's buyer choosing to spend money on it.
How products make the list
01 · Sell-through
MEI checks which sizes are still available for each product. When a large share of a product's size range disappears quickly, that is treated as a sign of demand.
Because Shopify does not publish the number of units sold, this measures size availability, not unit sales.
02 · Minimum threshold
To qualify for the sell-through ranking, a product must:
have at least four size variants;
have been available for at least three days;
have lost at least half of its available sizes;
have been listed within the past 90 days.
These thresholds help avoid misleading results from products with very small size or variant ranges.
03 · What this tells us
This is not a measure of the entire Chinese fashion market.
It is a daily snapshot of the 15 labels currently tracked by MEI, based on publicly visible information from their own online stores.
Selling out fastest
36 pieces, ranked by the share of their size range no longer available
Discounting can also be a useful signal. This section shows the largest current markdowns across the stores MEI tracks. Rather than treating discounts as evidence of demand, they are shown separately as a counterpoint to sell-through. They are ranked by the amount taken off rather than by percentage, so a small reduction on an expensive piece is not hidden behind a large one on a cheap piece.
190 have one quarter or less of their size range remaining
721 were out of stock at the time of checking
208 were published within the past week
Only a limited number from each label are shown above.

Previous editions
Each edition stays as it was compiled and is not revised afterwards. There have been 13 editions so far, so there is not yet an archive to browse. Earlier readings are kept in full, and older editions will be published here once enough of them exist to be worth comparing.
Methodology
How this was checked
· MEI checked 15 public online catalogues on 15 September 2026, covering 7,918 products.
· Product availability, publication dates and stock status were taken from the brands' own stores.
· Price data reflects the market and currency shown to MEI when each store was checked.
· Changes such as sell-outs, restocks and repricing are identified by comparing each check with the previous one.
What we could not verify
· All stores served the same market during this edition.
· Some stores automatically convert prices for international visitors.
· Shipping to Western markets has not yet been verified for 8 of the 15 labels.
· Stock availability does not reveal the number of units sold.
· The 15-label roster is selected by MEI and should not be treated as representative of the entire Chinese fashion market.
Last reviewed 15 September 2026
What remains unverified
Reported — read from primary catalogues
·4 of the 15 labels have neither measured search demand nor a Western retailer carrying them. Each was checked by hand against the major retailers on 2 September 2026; the roster table above says where each one stands, and three are under review for removal.
·Doughnut and Ports 1961 sit on the roster despite an open question about whether they count as Chinese fashion at all.
·Shopify does not publish future release dates, so MEI cannot report a product before it goes on sale. This was tested across 33 stores in September 2026 and no store exposed one.
·Search demand is measured in the US and UK only. A label popular in China but unsearched in the West will look smaller here than it is.
