FASHION BIZTALK
Five minutes on the runway can make an impression. What shapes a brand’s future happens long after the show.
FASHION BIZTALK is designed to help designers and brand leaders navigate what comes next. Through focused talks and one-on-one conversations with experienced industry professionals, the program opens up candid discussions around the questions that rarely have simple answers—from brand strategy and marketing to international markets and buyer relations.
Bringing creative vision and business thinking into the same conversation, FASHION BIZTALK gives designers the insight and perspective to make more informed decisions about where to take their brands next.
BEYOND FASHION
More than a collaboration, Beyond Fashion is an experiment in what design and industry can create together.
Beyond Fashion connects fashion designers with expertise across materials, manufacturing, craft, culture, and other creative industries, turning shared ideas into new work.
From concept to market, each collaboration draws on Taiwan’s craftsmanship, technical expertise, and industrial know-how—transforming creative ideas into tangible outcomes and opening up new possibilities for design.

A new fashion narrative, shaped by the culture of the game.
In collaboration with TPBL, the project explores the intersection of basketball and fashion, bringing the culture of the court into contemporary style and everyday wear.
UNIFORMOSA
Every uniform can tell the world something about Taiwan.
Bringing together leading names across culture, art, and hospitality with Taiwan’s textile manufacturers and craftspeople, the project explores how uniforms can embody brand identity while offering a contemporary expression of Taiwanese culture.
WISDOM
Rethinking what functional denim can be.
Together with WISDOM®, the project explores new possibilities for denim and performance materials through fabric structure, wearability, and the way clothing moves through everyday life.
GLOBAL FASHION SHOWCASING GRANT
Going global is more than a moment in the spotlight—it’s about building momentum over time.
Initiated by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture, the Global Fashion Showcasing Grant supports Taiwanese fashion brands participating in leading fashion weeks, trade shows, and buyer events worldwide. Through continued international exposure and exchange, the program helps brands build industry connections, gain market experience, and strengthen their presence on the global stage.
