「幼時父親時常擔任八家將及大仙尪仔的陣頭演出，當時八家將的服裝、臉譜、配件飾品、法器等無一不使他著迷，父親扛著大仙尪仔踏出穩健的步伐，威武的氣勢幾乎是他兒時的鋼彈。」因此本季BOB Jian邀請亞洲前衛表演領導團體 光的藝術家「LUXY BOYZ」合作，共同打造3公尺高真人版發光東方神系鋼彈，以LED燈及雷射燈光演出給予在場所有人前所未有的視覺震撼。

BOB Jian attempts to three dimensions of fashion design as fashion dress, haute couture, and installation art to presented to create a lively scene of folk celebrations and our own “Taiwanese Carnival."
"When I was young, my father usually performed as the Holy General or the Head Police Officer in the World of Dead. The ceremonious icons like facial makeups, costumes, accessories, and armaments fascinated me; when Father performed with the Holy General costumes, the heroic image of Gundam was hence built in the designer’s mind.” Therefore, this season BOB Jian invited the light art team, LUXY BOYZ, to build a 3-meter-high sized robot; featured with Chinese religious elements, this laser light show will shock the visual senses of all the viewers.
BOB Jian, stands as an haute couture brand, the mission is to provide tailormade costumes is the brand spirit and style. The dress design that is good at showing female figure joins the current popular sports style, presents a complete set of dress styles that are different from the past; the upper and lower body can be arbitrarily matched, combined with daily clothing, and in the show, there are more black tutu skirts deduced by male models, reflecting the uniqueness and matching of the series of dresses.
For men, BOB Jian also developed with "light formal wear" as the theme of the series, incorporating more interesting details into the formal wear; special tailoring, material splicing and bright colours. The same applies to other clothing, such as flying jackets, vests and parachute strap. These details make this season's clothing more vibrant and interesting than ever.
