conjunction with the Golden Bell Awards, the largest event in Taiwan’s television industry, held in October, the event combines Taiwanese dramas with Taiwanese fashion to demonstrate the profound influence that dramas have on people’s aesthetic sense and pop cultural imagination. By reinterpreting fashion from a designer’s perspective, the event aims to transform “fashion” into a cultural medium, and for Taipei Fashion Week to serve as a bridge between the cultural content and fashion industries. This season’s theme is “Fashion, Action!” Based on the idea that “clothes define life, and life changes clothes,” the entire fashion week will be transformed into a “moving photo studio.” Audiences will not only be able to watch, but will also be able to experience a fashion film in action. Lighting, cameras, and the runway become elements of the story, and each appearance of a costume marks the beginning of a new scene. *The Golden Bell Awards is an annual festival for drama and radio programs held in Taiwan’s broadcasting and video industry. Founded in 1965, it is considered one of Taiwan’s three major awards, alongside the Golden Horse Awards (film) and the Golden Melody Awards (music). The 2025 awards ceremony, celebrating its 60th anniversary, is scheduled to be held on October 17th and 18th. Opening Show: 6 Designers x 6 Taiwanese Dramas For this season’s opening show, six designers teamed up with six popular Taiwanese dramas to create visual stories that resonate with fashion designs. The runway became a cultural mirror, reflecting the contemporary Taiwanese fashion landscape. DYCTEAM collaborated with the TV drama “The Outlaw Doctor 化外之医 (The Outlaw Doctor)” and used “sutures” as the creative symbol. It symbolizes repair and the cracks in human integrity. Through “The Cleaner,” WEAVISM uses the structure of workwear and recycled materials to express the continuity of life. Dleet teams up with “US WITHOUT SEX” to reconstruct the relationship between “lust and freedom” in minimalist black and white tones, depicting the awakening power of women. NIKI YEH’s Tabloid collection, based on the theme “After the Death of an Entertainment Female Reporter,” uses transparent layers and shiny metallic materials to express the power women wield between “revealing” and “concealing.” RAY CHU takes “Hai Rokureibai (Holiday)” as its theme and expresses everyday life and freedom through light cutting and a gender-fluid aesthetic. oqLiq collaborates with The World Between Us II (The Distance Between Us and Evil II) to recreate a gray world where order and chaos intersect, using functional materials to explore human conflict. On the day of the opening show, a special performance for the public will be held, inviting fashion lovers to join in and enjoy the show. The opening show featured actors from Taiwanese dramas. Yang Yizhan, Feng Xiaoyue, Wang Keyuan, Sun Shumei, Lian Chenxiang, Ke Shuqin, and Bai Runyin used fashion to reinterpret their characters on the runway, drawing inspiration from their roles and conveying their intangible cultural influence through fashion.

In medical settings, stitching records the conflict between reason and emotion, while in clothing, it records the dialogue between construction and deconstruction. The designer uses suiting fabric as a base and then expands it into jacquard denim, expressing the clash between system and freedom through two-tone patchwork, asymmetrical construction, and washed finishes.

The numerous pockets symbolize the storage and preservation of memories, while the exposed seams represent the power of repair and trace. The contrast between the weathered print and new materials signifies regeneration and continuity.
