This study focuses on the development of emerging market female investors in the Asian fashion industry, and systematically explores the main challenges and coping strategies they face in the investment process. Research has found that female investors mainly face issues such as limited financing channels, insufficient investment experience and professional knowledge, social and cultural factors, and asymmetric market information acquisition when expanding their fashion business. In response to these issues, this study proposes multidimensional optimization strategies such as establishing a dedicated women's investment fund, improving credit policies for financial institutions, conducting targeted investment training, building professional communication platforms, promoting gender equality investment environment construction, and strengthening market information sharing. The research results indicate that through systematic support system construction and continuous environmental optimization, the competitive strength of female investors in emerging markets in the fashion industry can be effectively enhanced, promoting their sustainable development in the Asian market. This study has important theoretical value and practical significance for promoting female investors to better grasp the development opportunities of the fashion industry.
