Taipei, Taiwan, February 2019
I was raised and educated in Taipei, always having the most unforgettable moments at arrival. The comeback for the delis at nearby late-night food stalls, the new discovery of Breeze Xin Yi shopping mall, the reunion with dear family members and the meetings with lovely friends provide both the thrills and calms to my inner thoughts of mind at the beginning of 2019.
I used to take Bus 220 passing by Zhong Shan North Road to attend mathematics prep school on Saturdays during 1997, yet have never been strolling alongside this beautiful boulevard until during the Chinese New Year with my Finnish mate, who now is living in Taiwan. We started the city walk from the North Gate of Taipei Railway Station, and out of expectation, Passage 140 appears for our adventures of food, shops and street photography. The greyish concrete façade and the geometric window fences provide an old touch of Taipei, calm and carry-on.
The outfit of the day are Yves Saint Laurent 70’s vintage black crop top, Zara tweet jacket, Zara Premium black ripped jeans and Chanel black goat skin sling backs. Besides my proudest bargain of YSL crop top (17 EUR at Helsinki Fashion Taivas), Zara tweet jacket produced with 73% of cotton, 27% of polyesters, produced with imitation pearl buttons and with two shallow pockets, is also one my favourite items in 2019. This Chanel look-alike piece can be worn full button closed as knitwear, open-up as mini spring jacket, both shows elegant but comfort city look. Within the snow-white threads in between the knit, it balances the mono dark tone of SL crop top, Zara 99% cotton ripped jeans and Chanel sling backs.
Chanel Sling backs with low heels have been my focus collection since 2017, the Goat skin pair with patent toe design furnish the playfulness of new black hue, at the same time is easy to walk with during city tour. About the accessories, Chloé ivory white acetate sunglasses are my all-time essential, and Balenciaga Classic City mini tote in greenish grey is the souvenir from Okinawa DFS, Japan; its lamb skin materials and the colours capture my first attention, while the service is warmly friendly. As for jewelry, Chao & Eero Darling stud earrings and small pendant (40-42 cm) match the silver tone of Zara tweet jacket effortlessly. Handmade by Taiwanese jewelry designer Chao, Darling series are two hearts put together as a pair of butterfly wings, about to fly to the moon or future.
