It's viewpoint from Li rucheng, the president of Youngor Group, which is one of the China's largest clothing manufactories, provokes my interest to study on the world clothing industry. The point of view concludes the world clothing industry's development as a process of grading transfers. This paper starts with probing into the authenticity of his viewpoint; makes an initial study on the trend of regional distribution through reviewing the clothing industry's development. While demonstrating and rectifying Li rucheng's viewpoint, I also draw some conclusions and try to establish an ideal frame for the further study on the world clothing industry's development. According to the method of study, this paper consists of three parts as follow: 1, Vertical view -- Comprehensive survey: Review the development of the world clothing industry. 2, Horizontal view -- Trends study: Analyze the steady periods of the development; discuss Li rucheng's point of view item by item and rectify the incorrect ones. 3, Based on the studies above the paper comes to the conclusion. China has already become an official member of the WTO. It means China will be merging broadly into the world economy and trade system. As one of the key industries in China, clothing industry will also be strongly influenced. Therefore, an understanding of the trend of regional distribution the world clothing industry development has profound meaning for the Chinese clothing enterprises that are willing to strive for a competitive position in the world. Although this research is on an initial stage, I wish it could provide reference to historian and specialists of related clothing field for their further study.
