New York, NY – After only five years since being founded by the Ministry of Culture of Taiwan, Taipei Fashion Week has, without a doubt, cemented itself as one of Asia’s most influential fashion weeks. One that is quickly on its way to being recognized as one of the most important ones in the world. An aspect that makes Taipei Fashion Week unique is the collaboration between designers and the Ministry of Culture, which is focused on offering an equal platform to both established and up-and-coming designers from all over the multi-island territory of Taiwan. This partnership has allowed for an explosion of creativity to be displayed on the runway every season, showcasing not only the talent of the designers but also the beauty of Taipei and Taiwan and the many innovations its people have spearheaded in the world of fashion.
For this season, Fall-Winter 2022, Taipei Fashion Week continued its focus on the importance of functionality and sustainability and the impact of fashion on our planet. Additionally, this season, Taipei Fashion Week pushed even further, with the ten designers presenting collections inspired by diversity, the transboundary movement of fashion across borders, and the humanities, seeking inspiration in the arts, history, philosophy, and religion, language, and literature. While conveying the designers’ interpretation of these objectives, each collection presented during this Taipei Fashion Week also reminded us of the future and the coexistence of fashion and the virtual world.
The collections were grouped under three subjects: Fashion’s Future, Sustainability, and Artistic Craft.
