Wang Jun Talks About Respect For The Times

Wang Jun is a forum expert in China's clothing industry.

Every March, the Chinese clothing forum he hosts will bring brainstorming to Chinese costumes so that they can have more opportunities to communicate with experts from home and abroad.

In the just concluded Beijing design week, Wang Jun also brought the "fashion design Beijing 24 forum" with experimental and innovative spirit, invited famous personages from all walks of life, and studied and exchanged 24 hours without interruption.

Wang Jun said that he had never thought of using these forums as a filling platform, nor did he want to do what he did so that everyone could draw a unified conclusion. It was irresponsible.

To be a designer of your own

Reporter: fashion is inseparable from creativity and innovation. How do you understand it?

Wang Jun: creativity and innovation must have new discoveries and new values.

The powerful forces that have already formed in society are also going downhill at the same time of strong vitality, so new things are needed.

Innovation is characterized by anti past and counter trend, but the purpose is not to reverse it, but to discover and create it.

The work of innovation is the work found, the so-called anti fashion and anti fashion, not necessarily "confrontation", may be a "return" to explore.

"New" may be discovered, or it may be pursued from the perspective of history, from the side, from the most primitive and true to the prototype.

Reporter: what should the design of this era be like?

Wang Jun: this era needs democracy and equality, and design must be equal and democratic, showing respect for human beings.

When you dress well, you can't make others feel poor and cold. This is the new design value of the future.

People will become their own designers and become the ones who decide the outcome.

Reporter: this also determines the trend of designers and future design.

Wang Jun: in the past, designers were in a leading position in the relationship between the weight of products and design results and the corresponding users.

But now, the weight relationship has become more equal. Designers should become a service provider and a respectful person: the value of design should revere nature, respect nature, respect humanity, respect people, and even respect all kinds of society.

In addition, the design should be for most people to think and design, not for a few people, nor for showing off their differences. Designers should not emphasize themselves on the consumers and service providers, and have more equal designs.

The value of life of new naturalism, respect for the environment and nature, the value concept of harmony between designer, nature and society will become a new design value, and will promote the progress of social value. This is also the meaning of an industry or a society to society.

Future brands emphasize personal style.

Reporter: many domestic brands are trying to "upgrade" and hope to become luxury goods.

I generally do not like extravagant luxury and gorgeous things.

The political and economic conditions of the birth of high fashion and advanced garments are different from those of today.

Now, great changes are taking place in the global economy and politics. From single level to multistage, mutual respect is also a problem.

Some things don't have to be complicated or luxurious. They should make people feel more involved.

In the future, a good brand will no longer emphasize the style or style of the designer, but emphasize that different people wear different styles.

Reporter: in other words, the role of designer will slowly fade away?

Wang Jun: we must adjust our direction.

In my view, from high fashion to advanced garments to Europe's emerging young avant-garde designers, they can not surpass the business and commercial value of the era from high fashion to high quality garments.

Although I am not a designer, I am also reflecting on what value the Chinese designer should contribute to this era, and become an important force that can promote social progress and change of life. Only by doing so is the part of the world.

He does him, I do mine.

Interviewer: do you think there is a trend?

Wang Jun: to be sure, I think there is no fashion in fashion.

Just imagine that if people all over the world drink Coca-Cola, it is also a sad thing.

What is the trend?

Others follow you.

Western fashion week and Western fashion value think that everyone should be equal, he does his, I do mine, this is the contribution; if you think that people are the trend, follow the others, then people blame you, you have nothing to say.

When China's clothing brands and designers can dare to be themselves, it is not what I do in Paris this year. This is very important.

Do your own thing.

Quotations on fashion power list

Luxury: the pursuit of luxury in the past reflects that people should emphasize the superiority of their identities and place themselves in a favorable position without considering each other.

Those luxurious things used to be specially tailored for aristocrats, not the trend, but the product of a process, belonging to the past era.

The trend of world development now is that people respect human beings and respect nature more.

Creativity, creativity and design are all about being yourself.

With your own understanding and understanding, and strive to improve yourself in life, and become a self promoting social progress that can contribute to society, we can become the trend brand of this society.

It is fashion that reflects the value of this era, the most natural, and the things people use in life to be recognized and willing to choose.

This thing must respect people, respect nature and respect the value of the times. It can be immature and incomplete, but can not pursue strange things, and can not deviate from nature.

I like the design of returning to the original, for most people. A bottle, if it can tell you how to live healthier, is also fashionable.

China Design

It's important to know who you are.

Reporter: how many Chinese designers have done abroad to become an international brand?

Wang Jun: I feel this way if there is no revolutionary change, it is difficult to walk out, like Japan's Lssey Miyake, Yamamoto Teruji, Wakubo Rei, they contribute a lot to the world fashion design, but the feeling is still in a frame, can not jump out, no matter how innovative the design, but also can not pcend them.

On the contrary, the appearance of UNIQLO and Muji, which people like, is worth reflecting. It is not a simple design problem. Its ideas reflect the most advanced ideas and values of this era.

To become a symbolic brand of this era, we can think of you at the mention of China. This brand must be a contribution to this country, to mankind and to society, and the value created can stand in this era and become an independent self.

Reporter: many designers are also hesitating. Do we need to emphasize Chinese elements?

Wang Jun: in the "fashion design Beijing 24 forum", Mr. Kitano said, we are all in the debris, everyone is talking about the element question, the fact is not the element question, is this time entire ponder.

He talked about British empiricism and Western science, and became the basic tools and thinking of self understanding in this era, but the limitation here is that we can not see what people are.

China

Or, China's design is important. Apart from that, it's important to know who you are.

Who is Chinese clothing? This problem has not been solved, our culture has not been solved, and how the technology of design can change again can not show the soul or fragmented things.

Reporter: if you emphasize yourself too much, will you be too one-sided?

Wang Jun: "to be yourself" is not a narrow interest.

It must be built on the social structure. For example, if you want to do for the world and for China, you must stand on the world's perspective to do yourself. This "ego" is to emphasize its consistency and external differences, not the individual's vision, limitations and personal life and emotions.

Self is not narcissism, it is a difference and contribution of performance.

Reporter: what needs to be reflected when we explore "who is Chinese clothing"?

Wang Jun: when Yamamoto Teruji came to China Fashion Forum, I asked him what he knew about Chinese clothing.

He said, "It was big experience for me in my life", that is, this is a great experience and experience in his life.
