Taiwanese fashion: Shiatzy Chen reflects "magnificent essence of two extreme cultures"

Set up in 1978 by Taiwanese fashion designer Wang Chen Tsai-Hsia and her husband Wang Yuan-Hong, a textile broker, Shiatzy Chen here upholds its advertising mystique with what it describes as a campaign which "features the golden age of seafaring during the Baroque period when the world was divided into countless shores by the ocean, when cultures of the East and West meet amidst waves -- thus expanding into a wonderous voyage of the Scape of Curve. Meanwhile, "peacock" and "pearls" became the magificent essence of the two extreme cultures. Each frame of image mirroring the cutting and silhouette of the East and West, a metaphor of the Eastern and Western styles encountering energetically, carrying out a beautiful and mysterious dialogue in the cracks of history". Known for her designs with labour-intensive craftsmanship, Wang Chen Tsai-Hsia blends Chinese elements with Western cut and styling in a blend the luxury House describes as "neo-Chinese chic". It continues to hold a highly-regarded place in the fashion world, including at Paris Fashion Week, for its unique bridging of cultures.
