Taipei In Style (TIS) is being held in Taiwan from November 16 to 19, 2017. This is an annual fashion trade show featuring displays, seminars and competitions. The fair aims to promote the country’s fashion industry and boost exchanges between local fashion talent and global professionals.
Promoted as an all-in-one trade fair, the event comprises house shows, seminars and business matching meetings. There are 208 booths for the 145 participating local and foreign exhibitors, while 14 fashion shows, four seminars and some design competitions will be held during the fair.
Taipei In Style is designed to give Taiwanese designers exposure, to further enhance the image of Taiwan and Asia, while enriching the regional and global market.
The event is punctuated with Taiwanese designers and their creative philosophies, as well as pieces from Japanese, Hong Kong, Korean, and other designers of varying nationalities. The theme of this year's show, a sustainable fashion future, is recognizable in each of the looks, each simultaneously futuristic and emanating eco-awareness. Garments of royal-colored furs mix with bright plaids and oh-so-many textures valiantly stand out as the models walk. Upbeat sounds, like a waterfall over a riverbed of plastic, accompany the models down the catwalk.
The menswear selections in particular resonate presence and confidence. Palettes both light and dark pair with unexpected garment lengths.
