Taipei Fashion Week FW26/27 will take place from March 26 to 29. A pre-event press conference was held at the Showtime Cinemas ScreenX Theater in the Taipei Dome, adopting the concept of a "film premiere", presenting teaser-style visuals that introduced participating brands.

During the conference, Deputy Minister Wang Shih-ssu announced that Taipei Fashion Week is launching three major transformations this year to respond to the constantly evolving fashion market, the reshuffling of brands, and the shifting movement of consumers. First, the goal is to return energy and vitality to the brands themselves. Instead of maintaining branded opening shows separately as in the past, Taipei Fashion Week will “allow brands to express their own narratives directly through their shows.” Second, the platform will strengthen its role in industry mentorship, offering one-on-one guidance from professional advisors to help brands deepen their commercialization strategies. At the same time, “consumers will become a genuine driving force supporting fashion.” Through the curated market, which incorporates lifestyle brands, consumers will become a central pillar of Taipei Fashion Week and a key force sustaining the development of fashion.

According to the Ministry of Culture, AW26 marks the “first year of transformation” for Taipei Fashion Week. Guided by the visual concept of “Intersection and Convergence,” the platform is recalibrating its role to help designer brands articulate their aesthetic narratives more clearly while building systems and environments that enable them to continuously communicate, connect with markets, and achieve sustainable growth. The ultimate goal is to create a more inclusive industry platform that supports long-term brand development.

In addition to the familiar runway shows, this season introduces “Presentation” and “Event” formats, following international fashion week trends. The official website has also been completely redesigned, presenting information more clearly and comprehensively. The four-day schedule is now integrated into a real-time digital portal that allows users to easily browse, understand, and follow the events.

This season features six runway shows and six presentations, showcasing twelve domestic and international brands: C Jean, Bob Jian, Just In XX, Daniel Wong, Tangtsungchien, Mizuiro ind, Yentity, LiyuTsai, #Damur, Infdark, Weitzuyuan, and Wangliling. In addition, five brands, C Jean, #Damur, Jenn Lee, Ray Chu, and Uuin, will host supporting events between March and May, including exhibitions, pop-up sales events, workshops, and forums.

To open up more points of entry for participation, AW26 has transformed the previously limited-access “public session” of the opening show into the “Live” streaming zone. This adjustment breaks through the seating limitations of individual runway shows, allowing more audiences not only to watch online but also to visit the on-site livestream area at any time according to their preferred designers and styles to view the latest season’s collections.

AW26 will also host the “Taipei In Style Tradeshow” at Warehouse No. 2 of Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, hosting a total of 36 brands, including Taipei Fashion Week designer labels and Taiwanese apparel and accessories brands.
