Have You Seen Enough Of The Chinese Elements Of The Clothing Industry?

The resurrection of Chinese elements: no escape from fashion

The blue and white porcelain of Jay Chou, a popular king of heaven, has become the vogue of the fashion world, and the clothing industry is no exception.

In fact, it is not only blue and white porcelain, but now that it has fallen into the "swamp" of fashion, the Chinese element of confidence has naturally become the most fashionable topic.

So there is no accident. In the periodic table of fashion, China has been symbolized for thousands of years. At last, it is once again accepted by fashion masters: brocade embroidered New York, enjoyable ink splashing London, Yunlong totem Paris and blue and white dense Milan, the four fashion week of "famous quake lake" has been conquered by Chinese elements.

We can see that T.C.'s dress has just embroidered the gold dragon pattern. Alexander McQueen's leather dress embroidered the color Phoenix, Aquascutumde's military uniform coat, while the Chinese style collar was restrained, while the golden button was unable to wait to save too low key.

It's not just fashion, but all the fashionable elements are "lonely everywhere" by this fierce Chinese element: Armani is beyond fashion, rendering Chinese complex to furniture, and in the Armani Casa home series, silk, embroidery, fans...

Even the awakening of Chinese elements such as mosaic and chili is everywhere.

Fashion crazily since then, some people exclaimed: Chinese elements resurrected fiercely.

There is no Chinese element: do you still wear clothes?

Since the masters are so "buying", as native born Chinese designers are naturally unable to sit down, their minds are wishful thinking: why can't our own things be deducted? Under such psychological haunts, a famous "two ice competition" in Chinese fashion has been created. Before the sixty-seventh Venice Film Festival was unveiled, Li Bingbing rushed to the water town, and there was news that Huayi specially invited the famous designer Guo Pei of China to build a battle suit with "blue and white porcelain" as the theme to help her fight for the Venice Film Festival.

However, on the day of the red carpet, Li Bingbing did not choose "blue and white porcelain". Instead, he chose another set of high order "100 Fu diagram" which was full of love and peace.

This conservative controversial "100 Fu diagram" many fashion fans do not buy it, the reason is that China's bare elements make people feel lack of technology.

The incident of "touching porcelain" that Fan Bingbing had made for a blue and white porcelain dress before was also tempting to say, "if we go out for a long distance, Chinese women will not wear clothes if they lose their Chinese style."

Limited edition Chinese elements: how reliable are you?

When Chinese women star again and again, they are tired of taking Chinese elements as a life-saving straw, and many people have already had a strong "aesthetic fatigue". Even worse, "stacking up" is not yet counted. In order to show its "noble and elegant" status, a good dress dress is completely limited.

What is the "limited edition"? They also plausible: tailor-made, unique, so called "limited edition".

What puzzles us is whether the so-called "limit" is to show that the "art" is precious or not an excuse for confidence in the sales figures. It is true that, like Dior, YSL and Gucci, these brands occasionally play with Chinese style. It is absolutely not worried that there is no market, and the target market is not necessarily locked in China. But we have to eat a two month pancake for an ordinary small middle class or even a less young white-collar. Why do we have to blow up the face and fat push to catch up with the "limited" boom?

After all, as a Chinese, our every move is "Chinese style". The most important thing is "Chinese elements".

If you still have to add this label to yourself, then there is an initial name behind any fine work of art. It is a commodity.

The auspicious three treasures of Chinese wind: the root of blood OR garlic flavor?

Speaking of Chinese elements, the most classic ones are blue and white porcelain, Long Fenghuang and peony red. We call it "auspicious three treasures".

"Auspicious three treasures" in the domestic fashion circle has a very different treatment: some designers regard it as the source of blood, and want to wear all kinds of clothes to embroider dragon embroidered Phoenix seven into eight rolls. As long as peony red is used, it must be used in dragon robes. Some designers are "internationalized", and circuitous and euphemistic for fear of contaminated garlic flavor.

Of course, it is not a bad thing to design styles and elements in a variety of forms. But why do we have such an embarrassing position as the legacy that we once regarded as a treasure?

Chinese elements: are you showing enough?

Although we have no right to negate all the works of Chinese elements, one thing is for sure: it is foolish and unconstructive to use the so-called traditional craft to stack up.

After all, design is not only about technology.

Such negative examples are not rare in China. Among them, some of the top designers are the designers of a large CCTV Gala.

All kinds of embroidery techniques appear in the most extreme way. The sense of volume caused by intensive stacking and a large amount of time wastage bring about a sense of existence. It is not enough to attract eyeballs. Only after 2 seconds of visual shock, it becomes a smoke.

As for the "concept of design" reduced to a nothingness package, she often makes a story after the clothes are piecemeal design.

I remember a senior buyer who had seen the designer's "advanced customization" in 2010 and complained that more than 10 pieces of clothing had been pieced together in a series of words. Most of them had copied the cultural relics without any novelty. They merely exaggerated the local data such as the length of the clothes and the size of the collar.

"If this is a traditional folk craft Expo, I can accept it."

The buyer indignantly described it.

Seeing this, I really can't help shouting, "are you showing enough of Chinese elements?"

Xiaobian: no peony and dragons and Phoenix, still the Chinese wind.

What exactly is "Chinese element"? Actually, the Chinese have the most say.

It's not just a pair of embroidered shoes and a blue and white porcelain, but a long life experience in China.

Just like the traditional ink landscape and cursive calligraphy, there is no perspective, no matter how tonal, but it can perform thousands of worlds.

Just as native designers always wanted to make their clothes "fashionable" in the early days, and devoted themselves to the Western masters' fine cutting, they came back to think that the Chinese traditional flat cutting method belongs to the Chinese, and this old relationship is not built from the perspective of body form or temperament.

Our design may pay more attention to our life and thinking, not just calculating how the traditional embroidery consumes tens of thousands of hours, but the Royal cloak is several meters long and weighs several catties.

Which decoration elements are secondary, foreign designers will "Chinese decorative elements" used better than our own designers everywhere.

Most of our designers lack the wisdom of sinking down their hearts to study and appreciate the experience they will digest.

That's why when we see ZUCZUG's relaxed, comfortable and quiet and relaxed clothes, there is a kind of warm touch which is like holding an old enamel jar.

There are no peonies or dragons and Phoenix.
