Recall The First Westernization Movement Of 1998 Dalian Costumes

Last night, several of the designers who stayed in Lian, who were busy preparing for the clothing festival this year, still had time to get together.

13 years ago, 15 people went to France.

This is the first time that China's garment industry has taken the city as the main body, and the group has learned overseas and overseas.

Reporters opened the dust laden past before the twenty-second dress Festival.

This is the best commemoration for Dalian garment industry and Dalian Fashion Festival.

In 1998, Dalian International Fashion Festival is entering its tenth year.

More and more international clothing elements in Dalian

Paris "CHAMBRESYNDICALE" is France.

Dalian's courage had stimulated the nerves of many cities at that time.

Since then, many cities have followed suit, sending designers abroad.

Therefore, many people in the industry even think that in the Chinese clothing industry at that time, Dalian dominated the first batch of designers in China.

Appointment

Although it has been 13 years since the collective living abroad, the same batch of Dalian stayed in the same year.

As we all have said, there is no simple relationship between interests and disputes in the years of living together abroad, forming a mutual care and care among a dozen people.

Zhou Hong, the design director of Dalian, who is sunny and cheerful, was only 26 years old when he was abroad. He was one of the younger designers. After returning home, she was enthusiastically elected to be the convener of every gathering. She was called "secretary general" affectionately.

Whenever you are in Dalian, no matter how busy you are, you have to sit together and talk about the situation.

This has become a habit of this small circle.

Only a few designers who are already in France can't often attend parties.

In 1998, the government sent a total of 15 designers to study in France, and a year later, designers returned home.

But just as the impact of going abroad on all people, the life in France also had different influences on designers who went to law studying abroad.

"We met quite different French life there, the French and the French clothing industry."

More than one interviewee mentioned this feeling to reporters.

After the conflict and impact of ideas, some designers chose to live in France.

Of the 15 Dalian designers who studied abroad, 5 went back to France and started a new life.

"They are basically employed in the garment industry, but they are reopening a new world in France."

We told reporters that perhaps many people would think that the government sent to study abroad. Designers should consider returning the clothing industry in Dalian after coming back, but those who lived there will understand that as designers, they chose to stay in France.

Among the other 10 returning designers, Liu Lili is the only one who is currently in the field.

She has been the director of fashion design of Nanjing San DIO. She went to Nanjing to start her career in 2000. Now, she not only runs the design of this famous brand, but also becomes the guest of many fashion media.

But this will not interfere with her friendship with his classmates in Dalian. As long as we return to Dalian, we will get together once again. The theme is to catch up with Liu Lili.

Jiang Youtian's own field design studio (predecessor is the ancient block design studio) has made the best of life; Fang Zhiyuan is the designer of Dayang's creation; Zhou Hong led almost all the high-end shopping malls in the second tier cities in China; Han Li has begun a new exploration on the road of advanced customization.

Only one of the 10 designers who returned to China has already broken away from the garment industry, and the rest have been trudging along their masters.

Every time we meet, everyone knows what we want. Everyone is still sticking to it.

Of the 15 Dalian designers who studied abroad, 5 came back to France in succession.

Among the 10 returned designers, Liu Lili is the only person in the field now, and only one of 10 people is out of the clothing industry.

Master's dream

In September 11, 1998, 15 young fashion designers who dreamed of flying from Dalian to Beijing.

The destination of their visit is far more distant from France.

Many of these names now sound like thunder: Han Li, Jiang Youtian, Zhou Hong, Liu Lili, Liu Yan, Qi Chunxiao, Yang Ruiliang, Ma Yi Qiao, Yang Ruiliang, and...

They are either senior designers in the local or foreign enterprises, or professors of costume design in major universities. In short, one is already a master figure in the Chinese clothing industry.

As early as 13 years ago, these young designers were far away from their native lands. They only went to France to study abroad for one purpose, learning the advanced ideas of the fashion capital of the world, and serving Dalian and even China's clothing industry.

Therefore, they overcame the language difficulties, and completed the language learning in advance in 10 months. After going to the law, they had to face the great conflict between Chinese and Western clothing concepts, and cultural differences.

These designers who had made small achievements in the time when they went out in Dalian even had to overcome the huge psychological gap, because in the French fashion, 13 years ago, Dalian designers really felt their whole body.

However, because of the dream of design masters, every one of them persists in studying abroad for one year in his own way.

For the garment industry in Dalian and even China, these first designers who accepted the training of French fashion design system are a valuable asset.

In their careers after returning home, they have achieved their master's dreams in their respective ways.

13 years ago, the Dalian municipal government decided to send 15 outstanding designers to study abroad in France, which is known as the "Dalian Westernization Movement" public study activity by many people in the industry. It is destined to become a landmark event in Dalian's clothing industry.

This is not only the first government decision to send foreign clothing designers to study abroad as the main city in China at the time. At the same time, the first Dalian designers who came out of the country showed their excellent understanding and integration ability in the future. Now they have become an indispensable force in Dalian and even China's garment industry.
