With the theme “Dress Code: Taipei,” Taipei Fashion Week 2024 celebrates the city’s 140th anniversary by highlighting Taipei’s gorgeous transformations from 1884 to 2024. As fashion evolves with the times, it reflects the stories of each generation living in the city.

Building on the “Taipei 140” initiative promoted by the Taipei City Government Department of Cultural Affairs, this year’s fashion week presents personal interpretations of Taipei through everyday attire. City residents of all generations are invited to reflect on the past and create new memories as part of the city’s ongoing story.

Taipei Fashion Week 2024 is jointly organized by the Taipei City Government Department of Cultural Affairs, the Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and will take place from September 27 to October 30. Key cultural hubs, including Dadaocheng, the East District, and Xinyi District, will join in this grand celebration of fashion.

In addition to over 10 brand fashion shows at Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, this year’s fashion week will kick off with a grand debut in Dadaocheng on October 2, showcasing a fresh new approach. The highly anticipated cross-sector fashion show will follow on October 20 at Xingya Rd. 

Meanwhile, pop-up stores by major brands at Xiangti Avenue Plaza, the Taipei Fashion Week Select Shop featuring Taiwanese designer brands on the 3rd floor of Breeze Xin Yi, and special events hosted by shops in three major shopping districts will add to the excitement. Weekend activities at Xiangti Avenue Plaza, including street fashion photography, a 100-person runway show, and live performances by singers, will further amplify the festivities of this annual fashion extravaganza.
