Who Embroidered The Olympic "Blue And White Porcelain" Dress?

In mid July 2008, five sets of award dress were released from Beijing Olympic Games.

"Blue and white porcelain", "treasure blue", "Sophora japonica green", "jade fat white" and "pink", a total of five series of 15 styles, amazing to amazing.

A look is very Chinese flavor, elegant and elegant.

In particular, the "blue and white porcelain" is said to be leading by more than 50% of the vote in Sohu's online selection.

It has long been said that the award dress of the Beijing Olympic Games is very beautiful. It is said that the design of a teacher from Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology is made by a well-known and powerful enterprise. The best material is selected, and the best worker is made by hand, and the quality is first-class.

Hangzhou's famous silk enterprise, Wan Shi Li, has undertaken two series of 6 styles and 400 sets of gowns.

The most popular "blue and white porcelain" comes from their hands.

At the gate of Wan Shi Li group on the airport road, a large poster has been hung at the door. It is graceful that the Olympic etiquette etiquette young lady is dressed in "blue and white porcelain" dress.

Tu Hongyan, executive chairman of Wan Shi Li group's board of directors, is also proud of this dress. "China's most famous is porcelain and silk. This blue and white porcelain is the combination of the two, both ancient and modern."

Tu Hongyan said that when the OCOG chose the style of the award dress, the cheongsam was almost unanimously chosen.

However, how to make the traditional cheongsam to make people shine is the most difficult thing.

In the exhibition hall of the first floor of Wan Shi Li group, we also saw these two gowns. One is the famous "blue and white porcelain", which is mainly used for awarding the waterborne items, while the other is the luxurious "pink" series.

Tu Hongyan stroked the pattern of "blue and white porcelain" with a touch of excitement. "You see, these are embroidered by hand needlework and needlework. They can not see stitches at all. The fabric is as slippery as silk, but has a sense of falling from traditional silk garments. In my view, it is no less inferior to those of international luxury brands."

Why is it so beautiful?

It turned out that using the skill of Suzhou's old embroidered mother, Tu Hongyan's confidence in speaking and demeanour was not without reason. Even when we were just visiting, she had a hard word. "You must be" blue and white porcelain ".

I like it very much, but I am sorry that the time limit is too tight for me to have a chance to try it on.

Ever since the advent of "blue and white porcelain", there has been an endless stream of media coming to visit, even CCTV.

2/3 of Tu Hongyan's time every day is to receive all kinds of media.

In the face of our doubts, her answer is obviously "familiar with": "a shawl takes 196 hours, a waist takes 148 hours, embroidering a flower takes 32 hours, embroidering a hem takes 218 hours..."

Those who spend a lot of time embroidering these exquisite patterns are not ordinary embroidered women workers, but over 80 Suzhou old embroidered nuns with an average age of more than 68 years old.

Speaking of the process of looking for old embroidery mother, Zhu Guohua, general manager of Wan Shi Li group, was very exclaimed.

He said that when the clothing style was set down, the leadership of the company decided to use leather embroidery and plate embroidery two ways.

Gold embroidery is like its name. All kinds of gold thread are embroidered in circles and embroidered from inside to outside, but you can't see where embroidery is and where it is needles.

These two embroidery methods were once used for embroidery in court costumes, so they were also called "court embroidery".

The legendary palace embroidered embroidered mother can only be found in Suzhou, and all of them are elderly embroidered Niang.

So Tu Hongyan sent a large search team to Suzhou embroidery village.

After more than half a month's inquiries, the first thing to find is a 84 year old embroidered Niang. After that, she met 73 year old and 68 year old embroidered mother. She also found embroidery stations for embroidery of Japanese companies. By the help of embroidery stations, she finally summoned more than 80 embroidered girls in Jiang and Zhe, so that she organized a embroidery team.

As soon as I heard that the court embroidery that was about to be lost would appear on the ceremonial costumes of the Olympic Games, the old embroidered mother also worked hard, pushed away other activities, and embroidered clothes one by one.

Finally, it took only more than 40 days to complete the production of 33 processes and more than 400 garments.
