After Korean and Japanese fashion, is it time for our Taiwanese neighbours to capture our hearts with their fashion? Indeed, it seems like it. In that light, we investigate Secret Service – a concept store in the high-fashion entertainment district of Taipei, often referred to as the ‘Harajuku’ of Taiwan due to the area’s vibrancy and distinguishing style.
Secret Service seems well informed about the latest fashion trends which they pass on to customers through a carefully curated edit of unique, cutting-edge pieces. It also keeps an eye out for emerging talents from around the world, with a primary focus on Taiwanese creativity.
Featured designers include 11 By Boris Bidjan Saberi, Aleksandr Manamis, Biek Verstappen, Fagassent, Geoffrey B Small, Guidi, Horisaki, Julius 7, Nude: Masahiko Maruyama, Thom Krom, Too Good, Uma Wang and Ziggy Chen.
The aesthetic is all about space and light, clarity and precision – with a stripped-back interior designed to provide a sensation of visual tranquility. The shop explores the innovation of contemporary and avant-garde clothing, so shoppers can immerse themselves into a new chapter of menswear and womenswear.
