Shenzhen Special: Dalang Fashion Valley aims for high-end markets

The community of Dalang, which literally means "big wave", has been in the spotlight since it began to cooperate with Elite World to stage a fashion modeling contest in Shenzhen.

Some 55 selected models from 53 countries and regions will attend the Elite Model Look World Final on Nov 27 in the southern city bordering Hong Kong, which has long been famous for its garment and apparel manufacturing industry.

The contest will become a significant landmark for the community of Dalang, which aims to become a world-renowned fashion center in a couple of years.
