TAIPEI FASHION WEEK SS25 ILLUSTRATES THE RESILIENCE OF YOUTH WITH LIVE ART OPENING SHOW The Ministry of Culture launched Taipei Fashion Week SS25 on 17 October at the Songshan Cultural and Creative Park with a showcase that transformed collections and cultural creativity into a sensory story around the theme, Taiwan Type Illustrated Fashion Book. Drawing inspiration from everyday life, it highlighted the resilient and united spirit of the Taiwanese people while also interpreting the ambition of Taiwan’s fashion industry to innovate and boldly step onto the global stage. Leading Taiwanese fashion brands and illustrators came together to explore the Taiwan Type spirit in a dynamic runway of live art as models moved through illustrations and live footage, immersing audiences in the energy of immediate artistic creation. The Taiwanese Minister of Culture, Lee Yung-te, expressed the ongoing mission to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations and industry innovation. This philosophy underpins Taipei Fashion Week, which established its current format in 2018 - where designers draw from Taiwan’s historical narratives, cultural vibrancy, and contemporary aesthetics to elevate local fashion, growing a diplomatic and creative platform for dialogue through designs that resonate internationally. As well as international press, buyers and industry leaders, Taipei Fashion Week fosters dialogue between fashion designers and image creators to bring fashion closer to younger audiences. www.tpefw.com ITALIAN FASHION SHOWS WELCOME INTERNATIONAL TRADE VISITORS ON WITH THE SHOW 11
