Fashion careers: Fashion buying and e-commerce with Club Designer's Hsin Chen

Club Designer is a family owned luxury concept boutique with locations in downtown Taipei that carries numerous brands from designers Alaia to The Row as well as high-end streetwear label Mastermind World Japan. As one of Taiwan’s largest private buyers of international brands, Club Designer started collaborating with Farfetch in 2016 and today has an entirely integrated business on the London-based e-commerce platform. FashionUnited recently caught up with the founder’s daughter, Hsin Chen, who serves as Club Designer’s Operations Director and Buyer to learn the ins and outs of fashion buying and gain insight into how a privately owned boutique store has evolved with the emergence of e-commerce.
