It is a great honor to host the 20th Annual Conference for the International Foundation of Fashion Technology Institutes (IFFTI) at Donghua University in Shanghai, China in 2018, especially since this year marks the 20th anniversary of IFFTI. The theme – " Fashion Futures" – has been chosen to inspire all delegates of the conference to think about the future of fashion across different sectors such as education, industry, culture, etc. We look forward to the academic paper presentations that will address this theme and the stimulating discussion that it will create. Donghua University is planning a number of activities and events for delegates to enjoy throughout the conference, including fashion shows, exhibitions, panel discussion, and visit of fashion company. We hope that all delegates will enjoy these events and take the opportunity to network and share information with one another.
