Fashion in Taiwan

Fashion in Taiwan has grown significantly over the past decades, shaped by Western influences, Taiwan’s increasing affluence, vibrant social media culture, and its own domestic pop culture—often referred to as the Taiwanese wave. This evolution has helped Taiwanese designers and brands draw international attention. Taipei acts as the epicenter of the nation’s fashion industry, with Taipei Fashion Week—under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture—showcasing collaborations between fashion, indigenous arts, anime, and sports icons, and demonstrating a strong cross-disciplinary focus on creativity, sustainability, and cultural heritage. Meanwhile, bustling streetwear and fast-fashion hubs like Wufenpu and night markets across major cities remain integral to Taiwan’s local style scene, providing accessible platforms for emerging trends and community expression.
