Fashion Designer Sophie HONG was awarded Knight of the Legion of Honour (Chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur) by the French Republic in February 2026.
Time flows quietly amidst threads and the interplay of light and shadow.
Recently, I received a cherished letter from a long-time friend in San Francisco—artist and scholar Jeffrey Dennis Martin—accompanied by precious footage filmed in Taipei in May 2005.
Revisiting the scenes captured on film—moments spent intently focused on the lustrous texture of Sophie HONG Silk and immersed in the art of three-dimensional tailoring and silhouette—each frame clearly etches the pure, original passion for creation. Fabric possesses a life of its own, bearing the warmth of time; meanwhile, the moving image acts as a mirror, transforming fleeting, inimitable moments of inspiration into something eternal.
Jeff is currently seeking a permanent home for the film and video archives he has meticulously curated over the years. This process evokes memories of our deep conversations in Paris long ago regarding aesthetics, philosophy, and the enduring preservation of art.
This master footage stands not only as a testament to a friendship that transcends time and space but also as a significant cultural milestone in the brand’s journey of artistic exploration.
I invite you to share in these images of early summer light and shadow—preserved for over two decades—and to experience the essence found within the fabric and the cut…
時光在絲縷與光影間悄然流轉。
近日，收到遠在舊金山的老友——藝術家兼學者 Jeffrey Dennis Martin 捎來的珍貴信件，隨信附上了這段拍攝於 2005 年 5 月台北的珍貴影像紀錄。
重溫鏡頭裡專注於洪絲（Sophie HONG Silk）光澤質地、沉醉於立體剪裁與線條輪廓的身影，每一格膠卷都清晰鐫刻著對創作的純粹初心。布料是有生命的，它承載著時間的溫度；而影像則如同一面鏡子，將那些不可複製的靈感瞬間化為永恆。
Jeff 目前正著手為他長年悉心珍藏的膠卷與影像檔案尋覓永久典藏的歸宿，也勾起了多年前在巴黎相聚時，彼此對美學、哲學與藝術永續保存的深刻對談。
這段母帶不僅是一段跨越時空的友誼見證，更是品牌在藝術探索路上極具份量的一筆文化印記。
與大家分享這段沉澱了二十餘載的初夏光影，感受那份自布料與剪裁間
