Organized by the Ministry of Culture, Taipei Fashion Week takes place from October 3 to 17 at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, the main event space, and many places around Taipei for the fashion shows. The event aims to promote the innovative development of the fashion industry and improve international visibility and image.

Sixteen designers will participate in Taipei's SS22 Fashion Show, including, #DAMUR, C JEAN, CHARINYEH, Claudia Wang, Dleet, DOUCHANGLEE, GIOIA PAN, INF, Jamie Wei Huang, JENN LEE, Liyu Tsai, Seivson, SILZENCE men, Story Wear, WANGLILING, and WEAVISM.

This year, Taipei Fashion Week’s opening show combines the elements of fashion, art, music, and technology, allowing two opening events with five themes of “sustainability, functionality, diversity, interdisciplinary, and humanities” to proceed simultaneously at two locations. The venue at Taipei 101 Ambi Space One invites six pairs of Taiwan’s designers and artists to collaborate across fields. The cultural and technological opening show “CrossLab: Dialogue between Art and Fashion” takes place on October 7 at Taipei 101 Ambi Space One in an immersive projection space, creating a unique and creative new style of fashion spectacle. At the same time, the “CrossHub: Intersection between Music and Fashion” at Songshan Cultural & Creative Park presents a cross-field show that combines pop music and digital fashion. Taipei Fashion Week organizes the incorporation of 5G transmission technology to allow for the two events to perform at the same time but at different locations, breaking the traditional framework of fashion exhibitions and demonstrating Taiwan’s originality and technological competence through this innovative cooperation.

The show is curated by Ultra Combos, a well-known digital experience design team in Taiwan. With the core concept of "flowing time and space", the focus is anchored on the perfect integration of fashion, art, and technology, using technology images to create a combination of virtual and real catwalk experience. Ultra Combos’ works are good at integrating the new interactive experience brought by digital technology, redefining the relationship between performing arts and digital technology. This time, they will simultaneously connect two different venues, Taipei 101 Ambi Space One and Songshan Cultural and Creative Park No. 4 Warehouse, to transmit audio and video to each other through 5G connections at the same time. The crossover fashion show features six Taiwanese fashion brands: Austin.W, C JEAN, #DAMUR, INF, JUST IN XX, UUIN and six groups of artists Billy Degas Lo, Chen Jinglin and Ma Yushiu, WU Tung-Lung, Tseng Dingyuan, Paul Chiang, Chiang Kaichun, to create an immersive experience that creates an illusory visual shock with the constant flowing between the human body and space, virtual world, and reality.

On the occasion of Taipei Fashion Week, the 35th “Taiwan Fashion Design Award” (TFDA) is held on October 6, and is an opportunity that the government has provided for students of fashion design and upcoming young designers. Hosted by the Industrial Development Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and organized by the Taiwan Textile Federation, it is one of the earliest official fashion competitions in Asia. This year, TFDA encourages participants to focus on the subject of global environmental, promoting sustainable fashion and thoroughly observes social trends. Regarding the theme of design, the key points are Creativity, Sustainability, Performance, and Function.

The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Culture jointly organized the “Young Talent Fashion Exhibition”, providing a world-class platform and professional resources for college students to showcase their creative energy in fashion design. This time, the show includes the works of 7 upcoming fashion designers who have showed at Taipei Fashion Week AW21. The rising designers collaborate with textile manufacturers to create functional apparel and jointly design items, imitating the combination of industry and academia such as the University of St. Martin in the United Kingdom and London Fashion Week.
