University Of San Francisco Student Exhibition In China

In March 11, 2012, as the only exhibitor of New York fashion week (Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at Lincoln Center) School of art and design, Fashion Institute of University of the Arts, San Francisco, held the eleventh fashion conference in New York, Lincoln, on the evening of September 9, 2011.

In recent years, a new face of Chinese American designers has sprung up in New York fashion week. Indeed The success of rookie Chinese designers in the US fashion industry is a great encouragement to designers from all over the world, and has attracted many Chinese talents to explore their design dreams in the US.

In the 2012 spring and summer fashion conference of the Fashion Institute of University of the Arts in San Francisco, two new generation designers from China appeared in the fashion week of New York. They stood on the same stage with familiar fashion brands and famous designers, and showed their creative talents to Chinese designers throughout the world in their own way. Surprisingly, the two designers were not born in the art class. One of them was law and the other was business accountant.

In this regard, chief executive officer of University of the Arts, San Francisco Rachel Lee (Ms. Li Donghua) said: "the two Chinese designers come from industries that are not related to art design, but are obsessed with dreams and careers. Finally, they are successful in New York fashion week. This is very inspiring. I remember many years ago when I came to China, art and design were still very small, but now they affect all aspects of modern life, and China's demand for art and design talents is also growing. For example, fashion, animation, graphic, webpage and new media design talents have been popular in recent years. University of the Arts in San Francisco is committed to providing young people with all kinds of opportunities and resources to encourage them to pursue their dreams, choose the industries they love, and influence the world around them with art and design.

Xie Qian is from Chongqing, China, and is currently studying for master of fashion design in University of the Arts, San Francisco. The design of this exhibition in San Francisco is an integral part of the fashion trade series of the Italy Trade Association of University of the Arts in San Francisco. Her design incorporates the inspiration of geometric figures. The design of the split level is in sharp contrast to the fabric full of texture, with a touch of avant-garde color. Xie Qian graduated from Southwest University of Political Science and Law with a Bachelor of laws. A few years ago, when she traveled to San Francisco, she was oblivious to the fact that the city hall of University of the Arts in San Francisco was spread all over the city centre and the art students who walked around every corner of the city. This also enabled Xie Qian to regain his yearning and longing for fashion design. After returning home, she made up her mind to apply for the Fashion Institute of University of the Arts in San Francisco. Xie Qian likened herself to a blank sheet of paper. All the basic art training started from scratch. Although she was worried that she could not keep up with it, she succeeded in applying for a master's degree in fashion design in less than a year, with the encouragement and recommendation of her tutor. Xie Qian's design is bold and forward, but unexpectedly, even though he has not yet graduated, his works have been selected by the director of the Department to be exhibited at the New York fashion week, known as "time wearing". This also makes her more clear and confident about her future main attacking style and blueprint.

From Shandong, China, Liu Jie, the master of fashion design of University of the Arts in San Francisco, is another Chinese designer who stands on the stage of New York fashion week. Her evening dress design was also selected in the fashion exhibition of the Italy Trade Association of University of the Arts, San Francisco. The design of the evening dress was inspired by Liu Jie's favorite oil painting, with smooth lines and soft material interwoven, with concise and detailed details. Similarly, Liu Jie, who has no artistic foundation, has obtained a bachelor's degree in accounting and business management from York University in San Francisco before coming to the Fashion Institute of University of the Arts in Beijing. For Liu Jie, accounting is just a livelihood skill. Although she can do well, she chooses to listen to her voice and do what she likes. Because Liu Jie is passionate about design, even if he spends more than ten hours in studio creation every day, he doesn't feel hardworking at all. Under the guidance of her tutor, she made various attempts to create and eventually formed a mature and unique design style.

Although the two designers came from China, they did not limit their designs to Chinese elements too much. In the words of Liu Jie, "a mentor once told me that creativity is very important. Fashion design is not the reappearance of an element, but the extension and re creation of this element in the present. The experience of University of the Arts in San Francisco has given me a broader and more international view of design.

Speaking of Chinese designers, Simon Ungless, Dean of the Fashion Institute of University of the Arts in San Francisco, said he was delighted to have the opportunity to provide guidance and support for these talented designers, helping them form their own design style and expand in the future. Mr. Simon Ungless graduated from the central Saint Martin Institute of art and design. He was a classmate of the Alexander McQueen Saint Martin era and a friend of his lifetime. Mr. Ungless has extensive experience in fashion industry in Europe, North America and Asia. He has been employed in Givenchy, Paul Smith, Calvin Klein and Versace group, and has been invited to be the creative director of fashion brand Member Holiday, Korea. Mr. Simon Ungless thinks that the Chinese designers of the Fashion Institute of University of the Arts in San Francisco have a common focus and distinctive creativity. They have clear goals and pursuits in their thinking, creativity and professional skills.

During the fashion week, the top designers and fashion industry companies from the global fashion industry gathered in New York. Mr. Ungless said, "we are proud of the first time that Chinese designers have entered the stage of Lincoln fashion center in New York fashion week at the Fashion Institute of University of the Arts in San Francisco. It is an opportunity for New York fashion week to present its outstanding creations to the distinguished personages of the fashion industry, the international mainstream media and the top fashion Talent Company on the global spotlight stage, which is of great significance to their future career.

As the International Herald Tribune fashion editor Suzy Menkes wrote in an article written by New York Times, "the design of New York fashion week has always been known for its strong wearability, but the design from the Fashion Institute of San Francisco on the west coast is worth playing. Looking at these new generation designers from different cultures, backgrounds and even different countries, I can't help wondering why their designs are more creative and creative than those of the mature New York fashion brands.

Located on the west coast of the United States, it is deeply influenced by the multicultural and global leading creative industries in San Francisco. San Francisco University of the Arts creates opportunities and resources for young people, and guides and inspires young people to fully explore their creative talents. Students from various fields of art and design, including graphic design, art, industrial design, fashion design, animation design, webpage design and new media, use advanced equipment and resources, and learn the knowledge and skills in line with the world under the guidance of outstanding personalities in the industry. All kinds of new concepts and new horizons intermingle and influence each other. Young artists and designers share their respective dreams to present a wonderful chapter of creative career.
