“Made in China” clothing used to be associated with cheap, substandard quality clothing, but this is no longer the case, said the Taiwanese designer Yeh at her brand’s recent Spring/Summer 2017 fashion show.
“Costs to outsource production to China are now far more expensive than in Taiwan,” said Yeh, who is also the owner of designer brand CHARINYEH. [FULL STORY]
