Fashion Livestream Charts Order and Sales Growth During the 8.8 sale, Shopee Live took centre stage with non-stop daily themed fashion marathon shows. Covering the latest fashion finds, brand features, and influencer appearances, Malaysians tuned in for real-time product demos, expert styling tips, and interactive Q&As. Malaysians saved more than RM14 million by ordering through Shopee Live this 8.8, stretching every ringgit to enjoy the latest fashion trends without stressing the wallet. During the campaign's peak day, these livestreams drew up to 3X more viewers compared to an average day, giving fashion brands immense visibility and conversion. Through livestreams alone, Fashion brands witnessed a 2.9X increase in orders, with affiliates playing a crucial role in amplifying this impact through Shopee Live, contributing one in every four orders for fashion sellers. Livestreaming is a powerful tool for fashion brands to connect with buyers and demonstrate how their items look and feel through live interaction. Panda Eyes, a brand well-known for its diverse range of fashion products, saw first-hand the impact of livestreaming, 'The 8.8 campaign's strong focus on fashion gave us the perfect stage to engage with our audience in real time. By the end of the campaign, our orders increased by 3.5X compared to a normal day,' the brand shared. Cupcake Aisyah, a popular fashion content creator says, 'Livestreams are more than just a way to showcase fashion, they're where I find great deals. Being part of the 8.8 sale and having the chance to walk as a model in the Shopee Live Fashion Runway Show was truly special for me. It gave me a unique opportunity to connect with Malaysians, share my love for fashion, and show my followers how to shop smart, something I genuinely enjoy doing.'

The 2nd Hohhot International Sculpture Art Exhibition: Using Sculpture to Bridge China and the World
HOHHOT, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire - 12 August 2025 - The 2nd Hohhot International Sculpture Art Exhibition has opened at the Hohhot Sculpture Art Museum, showcasing 95 works by 80 artists from 20 countries, including China, France, Germany, and Italy. The event has drawn crowds of local residents and visitors from across the country, building a bridge of artistic exchange between this historic frontier city of northern China and the wider world. This year's theme is Telling China's Story Through the Art of Sculpture. The inaugural exhibition in October 2023 took the Silk Road as its cultural thread, creating a platform for dialogue. The current edition continues that mission, once again attracting artists from 20 countries. According to the organizers, the museum itself is a work of art — a sunken building transformed from an abandoned foundation pit, reflecting the Eastern aesthetic of 'turning decay into magic.' It has quickly become a new landmark for the city. Since opening in 2023, the museum has hosted two international exhibitions and seven themed shows, welcoming more than 820,000 visitors. Together with the Inner Mongolia Museum, the Inner Mongolia Art Museum, and the Grassland Silk Road Park, it forms a 5.6-kilometer 'cultural axis', which is a key showcase of Hohhot's cultural vitality. The exhibition features 95 sculptures in bronze, stone, metal, and other materials, spanning styles from realism to abstraction, and enticing visitors to linger. Yang Xiaowen, a Hohhot resident with a taste for geometric and abstract works, said, 'Compared with past years, this year's pieces feel fresher and resonate more with my personal aesthetic.' His 8-year-old daughter, Yang Mu, pointed to a work titled Strawberry Bunny and exclaimed, 'It cleverly combines a strawberry and a rabbit. I love it.' Cristian Biasci, Director of the Sculpture Department at the Florence Academy of Art, noted that in today's increasingly virtual world, public sculpture is more vital than ever as an artistic language that reconnects us with real human relationships. He sees the Hohhot exhibition as a living example of how sculpture can be integrated into public spaces. 'This is an aesthetic dialogue across time and space between Chinese and international artists,' said Jing Yumin, Vice Chairman of the China Urban Sculptors Association. 'These works are not only frozen moments of artistic expression but also fluid exchanges of thought, reflecting the idea of 'harmonious coexistence and shared beauty.'' He hopes the sculptures will be both a delightful surprise for local residents and a window for the world to better understand China, and for China to engage with the world. The exhibition runs from August 2025 to January 2026, with sculpture salons, art markets, and other events planned throughout the period.
