My good friend who is a PR director for Blue Bell PR Group here in Taipei invited me to a VIP and Press event for Paul Smith.
The man himself was not present, but the ambience and entertainment were great!

My co-worker Peggy was able to join me, 很好!

The area for the venue is a refurbished area near the Taipei main train station called Huashan 華山. The brick buildings and acoustic alterations make it the perfect place for artistic debuts.

The show started with a cocktail hour and photo exhibition showing Paul Smith’s current collection inspirations.

The fashion show was then followed by a live performance by one of the most popular Taiwanese female artists. Fabulous!
