The collection titled The Other End of Nowhere was inspired by Chinese novel Journey to the West and presented with a fashion film produced by Rachel Chen and directed by the brand’s creative director Apu Jan. The story is told through the lens of director of photography Chi-Ming Lu, while the music was produced by DJ So Lonely. Stars of the film are Yao Ai Ning, Kenny Yen and Josie Lin, joined by special guests AcQua and Rakuten Girls, Aviva and Kimi, and models Candice Li, Chuyong Chen, Kate Tsai, Yuhan Huang, Wei-Ting Lin, Vanessa Pan, Yihui Shi, and Yu-xuan Pan.
