What's your impression of Taipei?

Is it the delicious street food, the nostalgic old streets of the West District, the towering Taipei 101, or the warm local hospitality? As you find yourself in this city, have you ever pondered this question, or have you forgotten to pause and appreciate the familiar land amidst the fast-paced rhythm of daily life?

In recent years, many international design magazines have compiled Taipei's unique traditional culture, natural landscapes, creative designs, and the city's warm hospitality into special reports. From their perspective, Taipei possesses a beauty that has evolved into harmony through the passage of time. Through these foreign publications, we have rediscovered the everyday scenes that we have long taken for granted, revealing their enchanting allure. It's akin to a summer evening breeze that stirs ripples in the heart.

Thus, in the peak of August's summer, onefifteen invited the Japanese emerging brand doublet's designer Masayuki Ino to create a special collection. With the theme "HELLO! TAIPEI," Masayuki Ino designed six Taipei-exclusive graffiti T-shirts by hand. This collection is the second wave following his limited edition designs for the fifth anniversary of Tokyo's Dover Street Market Ginza in March this year. To highlight Taipei's unique characteristics, Masayuki Ino selected ten T-shirts reflecting Taipei's local colors. Employing his signature techniques such as fringes, collages, and Souvenir Jacket embroidery, he created these pieces with a touch of post-processing. Through his rich imagination, we get to see a creatively reimagined Taipei.

Additionally, onefifteen has collaborated with Taiwan's first library dedicated to design magazines, "Boven Magazine Library," to showcase international publications that have featured Taipei as a special topic over the past decade. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore Taipei through various aesthetic perspectives and view the city’s most beautiful aspects through the eyes of these renowned magazines.
