Masha Ma Conquered Saint Martin'S Oriental Designer (Chart)

In 2008

On the Saint Martin graduation show, an oriental face appeared. She was Masha Ma, who grew up in Beijing.

Her appearance in the industry apparently looks as precious as gold, because only 20 of the 5 students enrolled in Saint Martin's master of design for women's wear can attend this graduation show. She is also the only Chinese student who has entered the graduation show in the past 5 years.

It can be said that Masha Ma appeared in front of the Chinese media with its aura.

In a sense, it can be said to be a victory with a sense of conquest, representing the highest rank in the West.

Education was also taken away by Chinese.

However, in the conversation with her, we can feel the power of the western education system deeply.

Although the same language is spoken, her logic of thinking seems incompatible with the Chinese concept.

She said she would return to China in the future, but it seems that the western market will give her a sense of security.

I like to use heavy textures.

This series is designed for the CCDC China fashion design competition. It uses heavy water washed silk, white porcelain and metal materials to design works with a strong sense of space.

The double-edged sword of Western Education

With his latest series, he came to Beijing. She made a static exhibition of her own made clothes, entertained the media one day, and entertained herself in Beijing's design counterparts one day.

"I used to visit every media in the past, and I found it was inefficient."

Obviously, although she was abroad, she did not give up the possibility of developing in China.

However, this is not a sign that she will return. The western world has been more affectionate to her for nearly 10 years, and she also chooses to stay abroad and continue to develop.

"I don't think China's market is ready yet. Most of them are independent.

Things can not survive in the Chinese market. Of course, I do not think it is a particularly awkward way to survive.

This is obviously based on Western thinking.

In one summer, Masha returned to Beijing to make small orders. This was a small attempt, but she was impressed by the fact that she had not adapted to the Chinese market.

"At 8 o'clock in the morning, we need to go to factories to teach workers how to lock the edges and nail buttons according to the requirements. A careless worker will be able to slant the edges. I need to squatting down to the ground to teach them how to do things according to their requirements.

Wear high heels with at least 7 centimeters per day to dozens of people in Nancheng.

The factory stands up to the workers to stare at every process and process.

Although Saint Martin's elite mode is the standard of success in the western market, it is obvious that it is out of place in the Chinese market.

"China's labor costs are low, but the cost of communication is even greater."

She said.

At this time, Saint Martin's system education is like a double-edged sword. Although it has her advantages in design competitiveness, it is difficult for her to adapt herself to the current situation in China either from design thinking or industrial status.

However, Masha did not give up his Chinese dream. "In the future, I will return to China and create a standard of beauty."

This is her conquest.

After that, I put forward the ultimate goal for myself.
