Taking the concept of a tree as the main design theme Cultivating talents in Taiwanese clothing design Located in the culturally rich Wanhua area, "Xiyuan 29 Clothing Creation Base" was once well known as the Taipei Clothing Culture Museum. Now, as a new landmark for the clothing industry's creativity, with the nearby Wanhua clothing business area (Dali clothing business area) as its base, it has been transformed into a three-story fashion base. The entire building has a red brick exterior, and the overall design of the building is centered on the concept of a "tree," expecting to become a creative tree that absorbs the historical and cultural landscape of the Wanhua area, cultivating talents in Taiwanese clothing design, and spreading its branches and leaves to nourish the Wanhua clothing business area. It also mediates between the Wanhua business area's merchants and the designers stationed at the base, establishing exemplary collaborative design cases, revitalizing the Taiwanese clothing and clothing design industry, promoting the reputation of the Taiwanese brand and design power, and pushing it onto the international stage. Cooperating with schools and cultivating emerging designers is also one of the main tasks of "Xiyuan 29 Clothing Creation Base." Currently, in addition to opening up for college and university faculty and students to book visits and tours, during the summer vacation, it also cooperates with schools to offer internships, allowing students to understand the connection between design and the marketing market, as well as the overall clothing industry ecosystem in Taiwan by actually participating in the operation and management of the base and the cooperation activities with designers and the Wanhua clothing business area. At the same time, it also plans to offer courses on fashion trends or professional exhibition analysis, introducing new fashion information, and striving to cultivate design talents in Taiwan.
