Story Wear SS26

In a world increasingly defined by fast fashion and fleeting trends, Story Wear’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection stands as a quiet rebellion—a poetic manifesto woven from recycled denim and deadstock fabrics, and stitched with purpose by local Taiwanese tailors and women from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Debuting under TWMultiverse at GFC x Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo, the collection is not merely a showcase of garments, but a tapestry of emotion, heritage, and sustainability.

Inspired by the spiritual grandeur of Taiwanese temple culture and the rich traditions of Indigenous communities, Story Wear SS26 explores the tension and harmony between dualities: “nature and city,” “past and future,” “reality and dream.”

These themes are not just conceptual—they are physically embodied in the “seams of time,” where contrasting fabrics and techniques converge to symbolize movement between worlds.

Each piece becomes a portal, inviting wearers to reflect on their place within these shifting dimensions.

Based in Taipei, Story Wear is more than a brand—it is a cultural interlocutor.

Its designs interrogate the question: “What defines Taiwanese fashion today?”

The answer, it seems, lies not in mimicry or mass production, but in garments that provoke introspection, celebrate identity, and encourage personal expression.

With every stitch, Story Wear reclaims fashion as a medium for storytelling—one that honors the past, engages the present, and dares to dream forward.
