简 介
Presentation of the International Exhibition of Shop Window Photos of Twinned Streets 2011
在淮海中路商业街110周年国际商业论坛上，卢湾区商业联合会、淮海路经济发展促进会、卢湾区旅游协会与圣日尔曼大街管理委员会和东京表参道管理委员会结为友好。
During the International Trade Forum celebrating the 110th Anniversary of the foundation of Shanghai Huai Hai Lu Street, the Luwan District Trade Federation, the Huai Hai Lu Committee, the Luwan District Tourism Association, the French Saint Germain des Prés Committee of Paris and the Japanese Omotesando Committee of Tokyo established a relationship of exchange and friendship.
淮海路、圣日尔曼大街、表参道是三条富有时尚活力的商业街，提升生活品质、营造消费情趣、引领潮流时尚是其共同的发展主题，而商业街的橱窗正是这一主题展示的综合载体。因此，我们想三条街市的时尚商业橱窗为交流切入点，加强国际合作，展开互动学习交流。
Shanghai's Hai Hai Lu, Paris' Boulevard Saint Germain des Prés and Tokyo's Omotesando Street are three dynamic shopping streets with a concentration of fashion businesses. The theme of raising the quality of life, creating a pleasant shopping environment and guiding fashion trends are the common theme of their development. It is precisely the shop windows that generally convey the meaning of the theme. For this reason, we have chosen the shop windows of these three shopping streets as exchange niches, with the aim of strengthening international cooperation and learning from each other's experiences.
