Initiating a free lifestyle of high fashion and personalised comfort
HONG KONG, July 30 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- The leading international sportswear brand enterprise in the PRC, China Dongxiang (Group) Co., Ltd. ("China Dongxiang" or "the Company"; stock code: 3818, together with its subsidiaries the "Group") announced the Kappa P-A.C series, a new product line co-developed with Michael Michalsky, was launched on 22 July 2010.
The target customers of the Kappa P-A.C series comprise those aged between 20 and 30 in city centre and first-tier city. The concept of P-A.C -- "pack away concept" originated from designer Michalsky's observations of youngsters around the world. Nowadays, urban youth are fond of carrying various portable gadgets (e.g. MP3s, mobile phones, PSPs, make-up kits etc.) for convenient use at anytime. With this in mind, Michael Michalsky's design team created the latest Kappa P-A.C series to cater to the needs of these customers. Applying a simple and fashionable design that harmonises with light and soft materials, the Kappa P-A.C series makes it convenient to carry and exchange a whole host of today's devices and accessories. The comfortable and casual clothing design makes it easy to mix-and-match for any special occasion.
The Kappa P-A.C series launch event kicked off on 22 July 2010, with a theme of "Relieving for Your Life". It advocates a healthy and green lifestyle aimed at relieving the pressures, burdens, regulations and excessive materialism of today's lifestyle. The event was honored by the presence of Michael Michalsky who introduced the design concept behind Kappa P-A.C products.
Mr. Qin Dazhong, CEO of China Dongxiang, said, "We are excited to announce the successful launch of the Kappa P-A.C series. It was incredible that we spark up with Michael Michalsky for this maiden-cooperative venture. We have co-developed this new series, while at the same time delivering a new attitude and lifestyle -- 'Relieving for Your Life' to young people. Given that the Kappa P-A.C series is focused on a personalised style of fashion sportswear, we expect to deliver the ideal of a spontaneous, natural and vital lifestyle. Apart from developing Kappa's 'Fashion + Sports' branding position, we believe that the underlying characteristics and ideals of Kappa P-A.C, together with the philosophy of 'Relieving for Your Life', will meet the needs of urban consumers. We will continue to enrich our brand and product portfolio, enhance the quality of our products and make all efforts to be the leading multi-brand sportswear management enterprise in China to deliver sustainable business growth."
