We’ll always have Paris: Taiwan fashion house woos Asia clientele by showing
in ‘the top fashion city in the world’
Despite being rejected by many international department stores for its
Chineseness and high price point, Taiwanese label Shiatzy Chen, founded 40 years
ago, will persist with Paris shows, while launching a leisure line online
Known for its Chinese-inflected pieces that cater to a loyal clientele of
luxury shoppers in Asia, Shiatzy Chen positions itself as a luxury brand,
defying the notion that the label “Made in China” can’t be attached to high-end

something that often doesn’t sit well with the global customers Shiatzy Chen has
been chasing after for the past decade or so.
Henry Wang, the CEO of the company and the son of Madame Wang, is quick to
point this out when we meet just before the autumn-winter 2018 show in Paris.
“Lots of international department stores tell us that they don’t like the
styling, maybe because it’s too Asian, too Chinese. The price range is also
high,” he says.
