Chen Yuanzhen, CYC

This job gives you a lot of sense of accomplishment.

She thinks that being a fashion designer is easy to satisfy and feel fulfilled. "Looking at your design becomes a beautiful finished product and wears it on a model. It can often turn a dream into reality. It's great joy and pride!" she said.

She told reporters that a friend said that because she saw her design of pure and beautiful children's clothing and maternal hair, changed the decision not to make a child, plans to have a lovely child, at that time, she felt that she had a sense of accomplishment, she really did not expect her own design of clothing can actually change a person's way of life, this is not the ordinary occupation can do.

But this job is also hard work. She says she works for more than 14 hours every year.

"You have seen the fashion show, a good dress show to enjoy the beauty of the people, beautiful music, gorgeous costumes, handsome men, flowers, wine and applause......"

It is easy to see the glorious side of fashion designers. For the glory of this moment, the hard work of fashion designers may be unimaginable and acceptable to ordinary people.

"This line must be both mentally and hands-on."

She said, every day, the company has a busy schedule. The theme design of the conference is to discuss with the assistant whether the new fabric meets the theme of this quarter. How is the progress of the edition of the house? Does the sample need to be modified?

To exaggerate, sometimes going to the bathroom is a trot, and also browse fashion information, market information, opponent's dynamic and so on. It's really tiring to work one day.

Behind the scenes is hard work.

She said that if you want recognition in this line, you will have to pay a lot.

Fashion designer is a highly artistic and comprehensive work. It is not as simple as people understand drawing drawings. It requires artistic inspiration and the basis of art and the ability to control market trends. For a clothing company, fashion designers are the core and soul.

A good fashion designer needs to get as much information as possible, such as fashion trends, fabric updates, macroscopical policies, weather changes, and even workers' face to face with you for 5 yuan.

Never become a designer of waste products.

As a fashion designer often faced with entanglement is to follow the market or insist on self? On this issue, Chen Yuanzhen said the key to see as a designer you are at what level, she thinks that the designer's works have three levels, art, merchandise and waste.

If you are lucky enough to be a master in this industry, your work is a work of art.

If you have not become a master in this industry, but your work can be sold, that is the commodity, because it has been recognized by the market and can be traded.

If you don't get the recognition, you can't trade, you can't sell it, then your work is a waste.

Objectively speaking, it is rare to become a master in this industry. If we can achieve second levels, it is already a more successful designer, but never be the third one.

Although the core of the designer is the soul, the core can not be matched without other links.

"To make a perfect garment, costume design is only a beginning. It also involves many links, such as plate making, fabric, accessories, cutting, sewing and so on."

Chen Yuanzhen said, otherwise, a beautifully designed drawing can not be turned into a perfect garment, and consumers' attention to clothing is the whole.

Ladies' wear CYC

For example, you bought a beautiful shirt, but it didn't wear long, and the buttons were broken. This little detail is enough for you to negate the designer's design and the whole product, so the details and details are very important.

A fashion designer must realize this and attach importance to teamwork.

As a fashion designer, he must have strong planning ability and plan ahead before design.

"For example, before the beginning of the new product design for each season, we will plan this year's new theme, which is to have a national theme or a theme of Bohemia.

After this is confirmed, enter the drawing design stage according to the popular elements of this year and some elements needed by this theme.

After that is the selection of fabrics, typing and so on.

First of all, love.

How can we become an excellent fashion designer? Chen Yuanzhen said bluntly: "it is very important to be a designer in fashion design.

Without talent, hard work is hard to succeed in this industry. "

She suggests that if you want to be a designer.

First ask yourself if you really love it. You must love it.

Secondly, we should have good art skills.

Third, we should be good at observing and think more and do more.

The fashion designer must be good at observing. When it comes to observation, Chen Yuanzhen tells us a story. She was almost misunderstood abroad because she likes to stare at other people's children.

In fact, she is looking at different situations, different children's body shape and different activities. When observing, what kind of fabric is suitable for children and what kind of tailoring can make children feel more comfortable.

Children's clothing is not expensive, it is good, the key is to let the children feel comfortable and free in all kinds of conditions, suitable for their physique and activity needs.

This requires designers to understand that children need to understand the needs of their children, and there are many things you can't understand without observing and communicating.

After creating the brand of women's clothing, she put women in the scope of observation. She likes to find a street store in Hongkong's Lan Kwai Fong to sit down and look at the people who dress up in different streets, shapes and comings and goings.

In comparison, such observation inspired her many inspirations.

Does the designer enter millions of years?

Is the designer a highly paid job? Chen Yuanzhen said that the industry's income and ability are directly proportional to it.

According to her introduction, the monthly income of the assistant from the school is between 3500 yuan and 5000 yuan, and the monthly salary of a small team assistant designer is about 5000 yuan to 10000 yuan. The annual income of a designer who is not famous is about 200 thousand yuan. If he wins the prize, some famous designers will have a fixed income of 20 thousand yuan / month, and there will be a cooperative commission income. The designer will get a monthly salary of 30 thousand yuan or 500 thousand yuan to 1 million yuan a year. If he founded his own brand and clothing company, if the operation of the company is more successful, it is possible to earn tens of millions of dollars.

If you have enough confidence and love this industry, you can try it. After all, the industry has an attractive aspect.
