2014年10月19日至23日，“时堂 Showroom Shanghai”将在上海时尚地标新天地湖滨道购物中心举办第二届设计师品牌2015春夏系列的展示活动。整个活动为期5天，占地面积达3000平方米，吸引了超过70个国内外品牌，其中包括女装、男装和配饰。“时堂 Showroom Shanghai”作为中国第一家专业showroom，看重设计师品牌原创性、独特设计与市场可接受度的平衡性、品牌的商业可持续性等指标，在设计风格上的包容度较之第一届会更大。随着“时堂 Showroom Shanghai”规模和领域的扩大，一方面仍会坚持推广更多的中国独立设计师品牌，同时也会把更多的国际品牌带入中国市场。这次，Y’s Yohji Yamamoto品牌将第一次在中国市场公开面对买手和经销商。

除了Y’s的震撼登场外，设计师上官喆将在“时堂 Showroom Shanghai”首次展示其女装品牌Ze Studios；工艺难度与做工可与一线大牌比肩的本土男装品牌Skin Art Series，以及全手工制作的骷髅形包包品牌Muse Handmade都将通过这一平台首次向市场推出。由此可见，“时堂 Showroom Shanghai”不仅是个吸引大牌的平台，更是一个向本土市场，乃至全球市场推介高水准新人、新品牌的平台。这次活动突破了showroom仅仅联系设计师、品牌与买手、经销商、媒体的固定模式，特别增加了“厨房”版块，引入了时装产业链的各个环节，来为设计师做服务。“时堂”取谐音“食堂”，食客们看菜下单，但做菜的“厨房”却不为世人看到。这次“时堂”，吸引了提供3D配饰打印服务、时装生产解决方案供应商等周边服务面对设计师，更方便整个产业提升质量以及创新能力。尤其值得一提的是由“例外”品牌和方所的创始人毛继鸿与香港艺术家又一山人合作的品牌YMOYNOT也加入了“厨房”版块，将以开放的心态与各个有潜力的设计师开启未来的合作。

由此，第二届的“时堂 Showroom Shanghai”慢慢呈现出了其核心价值——通过提供覆盖品牌化营运各领域的服务，帮助独立设计师建立成功的时尚品牌，进而使之成为中国时装产业的创新引擎。
