Memories from Taipei

Modern, vibrant and super interesting - those three words perfectly describe Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, best known for the landmark Taipei 101 skyscraper officially classified as the world's tallest in 2004 (and remained such until the opening of Burj Khalifa in Dubai in 2010).

In November 2015, Fashion Studio Magazine spent 10 days in Taiwan and had a chance to discover Taipei's top attractions and the city's emerging fashion scene.

"Taipei, the capital of Taiwan, is a modern metropolis with Japanese colonial lanes, busy shopping streets and contemporary buildings." - Wikipedia

Shopping

Taipei offers a lot of shopping opportunities - from night markets to high-end designer stores and exclusive department malls. You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to clothes, shoes, and accessories.

Shilin Night Market

Shilin Night Market, located in the Shilin District of Taipei, is often considered to be the largest and most famous night market in the city. You can find everything here: from food vendors and small restaurants to numerous street stalls and trendy boutiques selling clothes and accessories. It's a fun place to hang out with friends in the evening!

Sleeping & Partying in Style

Staying at FX Hotel was a really great experience. Situated within walking distance to Nanjing Fuxing station, the hotel had trendy decor and fashionable atmosphere (you could watch latest catwalk shows even in the elevator!). Our room, located on the 15th floor, featured impressive city view, comfortable king size bed, and modern bathroom.

Thanks to GCGme.com, an online fashion boutique selling elegant dresses for various occasions, we had a beautiful red maxi dress that was suitable for many events during Taipei IN Style. Thank you so much!

"While this past summer, off the shoulder had its moment, for next season it is all about the one shoulder look. From evening wear to a more casual style, the shoulder is getting its time to shine." - elle.com
