Catwalk showcase for Taiwan’s performance textile makers
The latest developments from Taiwan’s performance textiles manufacturers have been showcased on the catwalk as part of Taipei Fashion Week.
Now in its second season, the Taipei Sustainable Collections match Taiwan's top textile factories with up and coming designers.
The goal is twofold: showing Taiwan's strength as a global hub for innovative eco-friendly textile manufacturing while providing a vision of the creative possibilities when it comes to sustainable fashion.
