The growth and transformation of logistics have been attributed to a specific confluence of forces that compelled firms to turn their attention to the circulation of commodities in the second half of the 20th century. This article seeks to develop a more theoretically informed account of the logistics revolution by delineating the industry’s role in promoting the accumulation of capital and the reproduction of capitalism. Drawing on Marxian geographical thought, I contend that the logistical turn of the past five decades has facilitated a multifaceted “spatial fix” to capitalism’s chronic problem of overaccumulation—one that has reconfigured the geographies of circulation as well as production, consumption, and appropriation. This argument has important implications for our understanding of globalization. By enhancing the mobility of both commodity capital and the production process itself, advances in logistics have been an essential, albeit neglected, condition of global economic integration since the 1970s.

In 1994,China’s export amount of textiles and garments reached 35.55 billion US dollars, which turned China to be world’s largest export country of textiles and garments. After being ‘World No. 1’ for more than ten years, Chinese fashion companies shouldn’t only restrict to OEM model. With the development of global economic integration, more and more international fashion brands are pouring into China to take hold of Chinese market. But for international market, most Chinese fashion companies appear to be nervous. However, some Chinese fashion companies have implemented internationalization strategy and reached first base. Combining the fashion brand --TANGY collection, which is under Shenzhen Liangzi Fashion Industrial Co., Ltd, this paper mainly discusses the implementation of its internationalization strategy.
