Looking at the face of fashion in Taiwan

A star-studded fashion show last night was the opening event in a display of designs by Tim Yip, one of Asia's most prolific design talents

Despite his recognition, Yip said that while he would always remain involved in clothing, he had no intention of becoming a professional fashion designer. In fact, his current activities show a pronounced literary bent. Yip has just released a collection of essays titled Many Flowers this July, and has plans to release four novels by the end of this year. Judging both from the 200 costumes, 100 for last nights show and another 100 for the "ordinary people" who feature in the exhibition, Yip is nothing if not prolific, whatever he does. It is likely that he will be putting his stamp on more aspects of Asian fever in the next few years.
