[Reporter Liu Minjun/Taipei Report] The 2025 Spring/Summer Taipei Fashion Week was grandly launched a few days ago. Designer Gioia Pan, known as the "Knitting Queen", took the theme of "Time and Space Traces" this season, and continued to bring more new looks to her knitting techniques through paper cutting and stone carving art. Cheerleading goddess Lin Xiang and Olympic gold medalist Lin Yuting have transformed into fashion models to add starlight to the catwalk.

Gioia Pan, with her outstanding design talent, is known as the "Queen of Knitting" and has won the highest honor in Chinese fashion design, the "Golden Top Award". She has also appeared in Tokyo and New York Fashion Week many times. Her 2025 Spring and Summer series "Time and Space Traces" is inspired by natural landforms and stone carving art, and cleverly combines the delicate beauty of paper cutting with the power of historical flow. The series unfolds in the interweaving of time and space, outlining the intersection of the past and the future through distinct textures and colors. The ups and downs of the canyon, the eternity of stone carvings and the fleeting beauty of paper-cuts interweave to create a series of moving time and space silhouettes. These works not only show the infinite possibilities of clothing design, but also convey a unique charm of time travel. Each work incorporates the glory and tragedy of the years, highlighting the profound dialogue between history and modernity.

On September 10, 2024, Golden Summit Award winner and knitwear queen Gioia Pan released the 2025 Spring/Summer Haute Couture Collection at the Beijing China International Fashion Week. At the show, many celebrity friends of the brand showed up to support, and well-known artists such as Richie Jen, Peng Jiahui, and Hanggai Band appeared in the front row to watch the show, which was star-studded and attracted everyone's attention.

Inventec VRSTATE is the strategic partner of this event. It used Metaverse technology and artificial intelligence tools to produce live rendered digital images for the entire show, which matched the creativity of laser screens and time gates, creating a mysterious and futuristic atmosphere. It presented a magnificent auditory feast.

This series is themed "Time and Space Traces", inspired by the natural landforms, stone carving art and folk culture essence of northern Shaanxi, and consists of three series.

With the blessing of Nvidia Jensen Huang, the godfather of AI, the number of people at the COMPUTEX exhibition has skyrocketed by 8 to more than 85,000 people, and when the spotlight in the exhibition hall is chasing the GB200 NVLink 72 AI cabinet of up to 5~6 million US dollars, no one has noticed that Huang has left a real "Top Secret" in the Inventec exhibition area! Inventec's P4000 is an MGX 4U rack server, which is not as powerful as GB200, but it is more in line with the needs of general enterprises and small and medium-sized cloud service providers (CSPs). In other words, NVIDIA's high-end and mainstream products have been prepared simultaneously.
