Deputy Minister Huang Chung-Chiu, lower rates are good news for the fashion industry of the island, but only if she has learned to adapt its production orientation of the mass market innovation.

"Has left the era of mass production of textiles," he said. "We now have the creative designer … instead of engineers who have little knowledge about what consumers want."

Taiwan was once a dominant force in the global textile production, but the ranking was No. 6 after some of its major players moving operations to China to take in the 1990's to the advantage of lower labor costs. Textile exports to Taiwan amounted to U.S. $ 9400000000 in 2009, after 40 percent of the golden era of 1997. China is the biggest market in the island, with 22 percent of 2009 exports.

The weight of the Chinese market was at the annual Fashion Week show in Taipei evident last week opened a showroom in the city center. Several operators Chinese shops were present, and Huang said she expected to make major purchases.

China is a heavy 17 percent on all imported clothing. Taiwanese garment manufacturers say that the cuts come could help them access the mainland market, especially because the Chinese have an interest in what comes from the island itself governed Beijing still claims his own seem.

"Because of our shared culture, Taiwanese designers to the needs of China's better than in the West," Gioia said Pan, one of the few designer stores in Taiwan with China.

Pan sells mainly clothes tailored affluent Chinese consumers, but believes that the huge market across the Taiwan Strait for all tastes.

"There are more than a dozen levels of consumers in China," she said. could sell well, "All of casual wear for high-end products. In contrast to Taiwan, many Chinese get the clothes they like and do not expect big discounts."

She said at that time may be right for a big movement in China by Taiwanese designers, because many designers to make even a study in the West, Chinese, and three of five years ago an impact on the domestic market.

The opinion is shared by Fang Tong, a merchant Hongdu Group, one of the participating Chinese companies in Taipei Fashion Week.

"The Taiwanese designers can do on the continent," says Fang. "Her clothes – much lower prices than Western houses top designer – can be on the Chinese yet to adapt."

Currently, the fabric, the largest source of exports of the textile industry of Taiwan, and many fabric manufacturers increase their prices, production is expected to decline by 17 percent to zero in two years.

A spokesman Ho Yu Textile Company, which would only give his name, said Cho, the reduction of tariffs, it is now the company is too expensive to export textiles to China. The company offers fabric luggage makers in China for the export of finished products to Europe and the United States

Among the highlights of the show during Fashion Week was the dynamic knit and creates ready-to-wear clothes from Taipei native Wenlan Chia, founder and designer of Twinkle by Wenlan New York, Tokyo and recipient of the prestigious New Price Onward Kashiyama design.
