The colour of the season? These days, there’s never really just one. There is a consensus, however, on look-at-me colour - and it’s on acid. Valentino led the neon explosion, with a series of looks in Stabilo green, fuchsia and yellow.

TChiuri on the Dior 2020 Resort collection. High praise indeed for a designer just off the starting blocks. This stratospheric success story is testament to Wales Bonner's relevance and understanding of the current climate, forging trends for all. Her androgynous designs aren't overtly masculine or feminine, they are relaxed and effortlessly chic, slouchy yet tailored. They are cool modern clothes steeped in cultural history, that we all want to wear and can borrow from our other half. www.walesbonner.com

ending ,
When I previously interviewed you, you said that you swap between the UK and Taiwan every couple of months, how has it felt to stay in one place for so long? With a global online business with some physical retail as well how has the pandemic affected you?
Indeed, it has been a long stay in Taipei instead of London and has also cancelled my schedule in different cities. However, our Taipei studio has always been our head center for both development and manufacturing. Many of our textiles are designed here and have been created by various factories in Taiwan. Staying in Taiwan has made us put more emphasis on our development and manufacturing.
Are you seeing a sustained move to online shopping?
Before the pandemic, we had been continuously expanding online stores. We considered a shopping mode that can blend both online and offline customers to make a bigger profit. After experiencing the offline store, people might not make purchases offline but could make purchases online. By integrating the online shop we can have more contacts depending on customers’ preferences. Due to the pandemic the fashion industry has become more digitalized. We are also looking for different paths and answers to counter changes swiftly, including the frequency of changing seasons, etc. However, the pandemic indeed influences both online and offline shopping and it is not in a positive way.
You've shown consistently at fashion week for many years, have you started to think of alternatives for September?
Fashion shows are one of our ways to deliver the brand messages and stories, we have also run through different ways to present our themes including video clips, live streaming & other virtual interactions. It’s not about the specific mode of presentation, but the design, creation, modification to keep on delivering messages via clothes.
In recent years you've created some really well-received collaborations in the food and drink industry, how have they come about?
We have been enjoying having a collaboration with industries from different fields which gave us plenty of space to design and develop. We can also bring our story and elements to other brands. By working with different brands we have the chance to learn from their experiences, histories, and working modes. After having a few of crossover collaborations, we are also very honored to have received some invitations from international brands like McDonald’s, and we are also very delighted to work with such a big company.
What is the most important lesson you've earned during the pandemic?
Apart from creation, we have only a little of understanding about this world and only a few things we can control. We have strong passion in our careers, but there are more severe things compared to fashion. We have to cherish what we have.
How do you see the post-Covid industry developing?
As I said, the pandemic has changed many tasks which probably many industries have been trying to develop but not at this fast a pace. The pandemic has accelerated developments which lead people to make decisions without any hesitation. We also have to think about the real needs of the brand, as a small-scale team, we might not need that many items in a collection, we might not manufacture that much and put it into stock, and might not expand offline stores that fast, etc. Since the world has kept on changing, we should be more focused to catch up the changes.
