Puyuan International Contemporary Jewellery Art and Design Biennial

中文版 - Chinese version      

By adopting "stress" as its conceptual framework, the exhibition aims to stimulate the creative resilience of artists and designers amid today’s rapidly evolving technological and cultural landscapes, while establishing an international platform for innovation in jewellery art and design. 


The inaugural Puyuan International Contemporary Jewellery Art and Design Biennial will feature independent thematic pavilions representing eight countries: the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, China, Japan, South Korea, and Thailand. Renowned seasoned jewellery practitioners from around the world have been invited to curate these exhibitions. Through thematic showcases, forums, and three major programme segments, the Biennial aims to present creativity and breakthroughs in contemporary jewellery—from experiments with tension in microscopic metal structures to the metaphorically reconstructive power of wearable devices in social contexts. “Stress” (σ) serves not only as a physical symbol but also embodies the inner creative force forged through cultural encounters and technological evolution.

About Puyuan Fashion Resort

Puyuan Fashion Resort is the “twin ancient town” to Wuzhen, created by the same visionary planning and design team. While Wuzhen celebrates culture, Puyuan embraces fashion. The two sit side by side, complementing each other in theme, sharing resources yet thriving independently.

As China’s largest wool sweater market and knitwear hub, Puyuan Fashion Resort redefines fashion beyond clothing, curating a lifestyle of quality and aesthetics. It is designed as a dynamic ecosystem where design, showcase, trade, retail, and experience come together—making it not only a fashion industry cluster but also a high-end travel destination.

Drawing from the waterways and landscapes of Jiangnan, the town blends Tang and Song architectural influences with an imposing grandeur that sets it apart from traditional ancient towns. True to its identity as “China’s Fashion Ancient Town,” Puyuan is constantly innovating and breaking boundaries.

Since its grand opening in 2023, Puyuan Fashion Resort has become a stage for trend-setting events: the Douyin Creators Conference, GQ Men of the Year Gala, Puyuan Fashion Week, Figaro Music Party, Asia Wedding Style 2024, and the China showcase of New York Fashion Week · New Discoveries. It has also been featured in hit shows such as Everybody Stand By, Go Fighting!, Cats in the Box, and The Legend of Shen Li.

With every collaboration and cultural crossover, Puyuan Fashion Resort is accelerating its growth, proving itself as a bold fusion of tradition and fashion—and a new landmark on the global style map.
