'Taipei Fashion Week SS 2021: RE:CONNEXT' - Government-Sponsored Fashion Week Held in Taiwanese Capital Generates Excitement for Global Fashion Industry

TAIPEI, Taiwan, Sept. 30, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Taipei Fashion Week (https://www.tpefw.com/) officially announced the theme for its upcoming multimedia extravaganza taking place in Songshan Cultural and Creative Park from Oct 6-10. A portmanteau of two words, Reconnect and Next, the show's RE:CONNEXT theme conveys the sartorial industry's hopes for reconnecting and reconstructing the future, after sustained blows by the global pandemic. The upcoming Taipei Fashion Week is already generating hopeful buzz across the globe, and will be an artful blend of virtual and physical events. Taipei has been internationally recognized for keeping COVID-19 rates down with its rigorous anti-epidemic measures, and fully expects that its protocols will continue to keep attendees, journalists and models safe during this year's fashion week.

"This is an extremely important event for us," said a representative from Taipei Fashion Week. "Taiwanese design culture is ready to break out onto the international stage as a powerhouse of fashion talent. In addition to being a worldwide textiles hub (total export value over 2.5 billion from January to April 2020), we are also a mix of cultures and talented designers who have often studied abroad in New York, Paris, and Italy. But these designers always remain true to our heritage, returning here to showcase their dazzling and original contributions to an ever-evolving, global fashion language."
