For the first time, fashion will be presented in a combination of art and technology, much anticipated by the public. It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the fabrics jointly developed by well-known textile brands and designers that are shown each year, the materials science giant BenQ Materials can also be spotted at the Young Talent show held on October 8, unveiling 24 fashionable garments made with Xpore - a sustainable and functional brand under BenQ Materials. Chairman and President of BenQ Materials, Z.C. Chen and Ray Liu, were also amongst the spectators to witness this memorable moment.
Xpore focuses on eco-friendly waterproof and breathable fabrics and was officially introduced in 2020 by BenQ Materials at ISPO, Munich Germany. Thanks to its high functionality and environmental sustainability features, this unique brand has been highly recognized in the industry since its launch and has received a number of awards in Taiwan and overseas.
