Taipei, Taiwan – This October 2021, Taipei Fashion Week returned for the Spring/Summer 2022 season in partnership with VOGUE Fashion’s Night Out and the theme “Fashion’s City of Freedom.” A theme inspired by the people of Taipei and their efforts and resilience in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Together with this theme, Taipei Fashion Week SS22 x VOGUE Fashion’s Night Out exploited the urban beauty of the city by turning six of Taipei’s most important locations into fashion runways. These locations -Taipei Music Center, Four Four South Village, Bellavita, FE City Xinyi A 13, Breeze Nanshan, and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Xinyi Plaza- were interconnected virtually, implementing innovative aerial photography to broadcast the shows live to over one hundred thousand fashion aficionados who tuned in to behold the latest collections by WooLeeX, Story Wear, Yentity, CHERNG DESIGN, RAY CHU, and Luxury Godbage by JUST IN XX. “With the pandemic, we saw aerial shots of Taipei’s empty streets on the news and found the city to be beautiful at all times. In this unusual year, I hope to commemorate the city’s fashion dynamism with Taipei Fashion Week,” said Isaac Chen, Creative Director of the Taipei Fashion Week SS22 digital show.
As the viewers enjoyed the runway shows both online and on large outside screens throughout the city, they were also treated to extraordinary musical performances and visual installations that merged reality with the virtual world created by Taipei Fashion Week and the designer brands showcased during the event. Without a doubt, Taipei Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2022 will go down in history as one of Taiwan’s most memorable events ever.
