Taipei Fashion Week
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taipei Fashion Week (Chinese: 臺北時裝週; Tâi-lô: Tâi-pak sî-tsong tsiu)[1] is a biannual fashion event—typically in spring and autumn—held in Taipei, Taiwan. Organized by the Ministry of Culture in partnership with the Taipei City Government and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the event showcases the latest collections from Taiwanese and international designers.[2] It has emerged as a prominent event in Asia, promoting sustainable design, cultural heritage, and cross-disciplinary creative collaborations.[3][4]
Taipei Fashion Week was inaugurated in 2018 by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture as a platform to elevate local designers globally, especially amid disruptions to fashion calendars during the COVID-19 pandemic. The event quickly gained momentum, with the 2024 Spring/Summer edition opening in October 2023 featuring "Youth Culture" themes and high-profile collaborations with Vogue Taiwan, the Taipei City Government, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs.[5] By 2025, the Autumn/Winter edition—with the theme “Endless Fashion”—further emphasized sustainability and eco-conscious design, showcasing collections at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, complemented by showrooms and runway stages across Taipei, including districts like Dadaocheng and Xinyi.[6]
