Taipei Fashion Week SS26 isn’t just another runway — it’s a mood board of modern Taiwan, where culture, craftsmanship, and sustainability collide. Three designers — each with their own language of form, function, and feeling — step forward to redefine what fashion means in a world constantly in flux. Minimalism meets rebellion and love meets design.
01 WOOMIN — Quiet Power, Soft Armor
01 WOOMIN continues its obsession with silence — not the absence of sound, but the presence of strength. Inspired by the cocoon, the brand drapes and distorts minimalism into something fluid, human, and alive. Japanese natural fibers and Italian wool move like second skin, tracing the outline of control and release. Each piece whispers rather than shouts — a kind of wearable meditation on freedom and restraint.
JENN LEE — Sensual Chaos, Buttoned Up
JENN LEE dives deep into the fever dream of Dream of the Red Chamber and surfaces with a Qipao that’s equal parts madness and magic. Her “Mad Button Cut-Out Padded Shoulder Qipao” is stitched from Japanese satin and lined with rebellion — 23 hand-looped buttons crafted by traditional artisans, cut-outs flashing subtle defiance. It’s Eastern sensuality twisted with Western punk, soft danger wrapped in silk.
Story Wear — Love Is the New Luxury
Story Wear transforms sustainability into a street-market fantasy. Their annual project, The Taste of Taiwanese Life, is part installation, part runway — an island market where you can literally feel the rhythm of daily life. It’s fashion with heart: stitched from upcycled stories, textured with community, and wrapped in the message, “Love is the answer.” In Story Wear’s world, clothes don’t just tell stories — they hold memories.
These three voices sketch a new map of Taiwanese fashion — intimate, experimental, and fearlessly human.
