The New Generation Of Clothing Education Industry In China Goes To The Mainstream

Clothing is a history worn on its body, and every detail of it is the most authentic embodiment of the history at that time.

It has always been the most sensitive wind vane, and is the most vivid and vivid record of a society, a country and an era.

It records historical changes, social development and civilization progress in a non textual way.

During the past 30 years, the development of China's garment education industry has undergone several important historical stages. The development history of clothing in the past 30 years is a fresh and convincing history of China's reform and opening up, which has written all sectors of society.

In the first 10 years of reform and opening up, almost every action on clothing will produce the effect of "one stone stirs up thousands of waves".

In 1980, a young friend came to the meeting to sing the voice of a generation.

The new generation in 80s opened the first short course of clothing in China from the central craft Academy of Fine Arts in 1982. In 1983, the Suzhou Silk Institute of technology set up the first undergraduate course of clothing education, which led the development of China's clothing professional education. In 80s, a group of garment designers and technicians trained in clothing industry became the backbone of the industry today.

In 80s, the university came from poverty and blankness. In 1982, the central craft Academy of Fine Arts opened the first short training course in China. In May 10, 1988, the Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology was founded. This is the first nationwide fashion education institution with the main body of clothing science, engineering and art, and has begun to lead clothing to professional design.

In 1983, the Suzhou Silk Institute of technology started the clothing industry in China. The teachers at that time were not very professional. They were exploring how to teach clothes, teach patterns, and teach specific methods of making clothes.

They represent part of the development of China's clothing professional education, and have trained the first batch of garment designers and technicians for the early garment industry.

China's higher fashion design education started in the middle and late twentieth Century. After more than 20 years of exploration and growth, it has become the trend of today.

Over the past 20 years, China's political, economic and cultural changes have been praised by the world. Its rapid development has attracted worldwide attention.

China's costume design education has not only undergone this profound social and historical pformation, but also proved its own professional development is integrating into the mainstream of modern fashion design education development with its brilliant achievements.

Nowadays, dozens of universities including Tsinghua Academy of fine arts, Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, Donghua University, Soochow University and other schools have set up clothing related majors.

China's clothing design education has formed a basic pattern and educational system. It not only has long and short planning, but also has development and pformation, as well as the accumulation and level of experience.

But in 1980s, costume design education was still in a state of inexperience, no textbooks, no teachers, no equipment.

At that time, our clothing design education started to leak, though it was full of enthusiasm, but because of its narrow and closed, it could only be buried in exploration.

Because our country's clothing education started late, it was established without any professional education experience and mode. Therefore, we did not think more about the formulation of the teaching plan, the goal and direction of training talents, and the knowledge structure and quality of teachers, and so on.

Although some adjustments and modifications have been made in the course of development, it is only limited to the affirmation or negation in the field of teaching. There has not been much improvement and change in the revision. The society and industry use the words "academics" and "armchair strategist" to describe these designers coming out of Colleges and universities.

More than 20 years later, design education has made great achievements and has been integrated into the world's modern fashion design education.

China's clothing design education has trained a handful of designers.

Now, the generation of new generation is growing up, and talented people from the cradle of higher design education abound. It has formed a considerable design and technical team.

From the beginning to the development of fashion design education, garment industry has been in the wind and rain for nearly twenty years from the processing of raw materials to the development of brand.

Wang Qing, chairman of the China Fashion Designers Association, pointed out that further promoting the interaction between teaching and industry development and increasing the development and training of talents is the way out for China's clothing professional education.

There are many books that can not be learned in the market. Schools can invite designers and entrepreneurs to teach part time and give their most vivid cases to students.

Conversely, entrepreneurs and designers should be asked to provide more opportunities for students to learn and practice, and to provide more support for them to participate in various competitions.

Over the past 20 years since reform and opening up, our society has entered the well-off era of intensive management from the age of extensive food and clothing, and will move towards the era of individuality management.

With the development of economy and the progress of society, people's production and lifestyle are constantly changing, and the professional behavior of fashion design will also change.

Jia Jingsheng, deputy director of the Department of textiles and clothing of Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University, pointed out that the training of Chinese fashion designers must be pferred from the art of retreat on the T stage to the practical design under the stage.

Otherwise, China will always be a big producer and exporter of clothing, but not a big country of design.

There is an unavoidable distance between clothing education and demand in China.

Nowadays, clothing enterprises need the most comprehensive talents who are good at fashion design, craft, print, fashion and marketing.

Some fashion majors are still intoxicated with simple art design concepts.

Jia Jingsheng said that they advocate art, despise technology, do not know the relationship between design and products, and do not care about the market's need and connotation for design.

At the same time, many teachers and students mistakenly take clothing education as an education for training masters of art and displaying artistic talent. Therefore, they are keen on all kinds of competitions and eager to become famous.

From the self to the audience, from paper to clothing, from school to market, is the top priority of Chinese fashion design.

Only in this way, can students have the design ability of clothing, the ability of market development, and the persistence of taking office in garment enterprises.

In 90s, the diversified education mode sprung up, namely, China's clothing professional education -- a special field of professional education focusing on fashion innovation and market practicality.

But after more than 20 years of development and improvement, this field still has a certain gap with the international teaching level.

This gap makes the Chinese clothing professional educators, especially the leading figures of the famous public institutions, such as Li Dangqi, Liu Yuan Feng, Wu Haiyan and other educators are working hard to narrow the gap.

But at the same time, the gap also means the market space. Even the major public institutions in the country continue to add or improve this profession, which has not stopped the three major phenomenon of the other major aspects of the field of garment education in China in recent years: the independent operation under the public sector, the pure localization of civilian run institutions and the international professional institutions in China.

At the same time, after these years of survival pressure and market inspection, these three portals already have initial development experience and vision for the future.

Career Technical College, a famous public university, is actually equivalent to the original specialized technical education. Although it is a public institution, it does not enjoy the support of government funds. Autonomous operation is the way for them to survive. The source of the economy depends mainly on tuition fees from students.

Therefore, the direction and development of graduates' graduation has become an important yardstick for the brand effect of schools.

Although the students' standards and academic qualifications are not competitive for undergraduate students, the market competition is even more brutal.

It is imperative to change the quality of education in order to achieve the goal of training students in recent years.

The traditional mode and experience of professional education are facing the pressure of survival. Therefore, we must reform and act earlier than public institutions.

Once the business is not good enough, it will always face the crisis of life and death.

The teachers at Career Technical College are keen on social outreach and are very active in seeking more opportunities for social practice for their students.

Compared with the big public institutions, they do not have the "business" to find their own door, and only rely on the initiative to fight for it.

Therefore, developing teachers' active and efficient professional quality has become the biggest advantage of Career Technical College.

Although schools are still more commonweal than interests in most people's minds, but for the self governed Career Technical College, they are undertaking the responsibility of improving the quality of education, and with the pressure of survival, they can not have the leisurely and self satisfied government funds.

For them, only by making money first can we talk about innovation and reform.

Therefore, the annual enrollment situation will directly affect the school income, and directly affect the formulation of the next teaching plan.

Although the mission of the school is to train talents suitable for market demand, for such institutions, it is also shouldering another mission - making money and surviving.

Taking into account the quality of education and making money, finding a way to get both fish and bear's paws is a top priority for them.

Every year, they can only divide the corner of raw cake, and there are more and more competitors only on this corner cake.

Private operation is different from private ownership in public. To a certain extent, autonomous operation is also in line with the overall teaching rules and regulations of public institutions, such as teacher management and student management.

In particular, the implementation of the new teaching plan is always challenged by traditional concepts, and how to grow in the splint, facing the challenge of renewal of teaching mode.

The teaching orientation of such institutions is to train high technology talents, which are different from those of undergraduate colleges in terms of teaching mode, knowledge structure and market orientation.

But for graduates who are not afraid of tiger, the best job opportunities are their common characteristics.

Of course, there are also extremely good people, but for most students, the feedback information of the employment unit shows that the gap between the mid-term and reality of such students is larger than that of the reality.

How to further clarify the direction of employment in the market is particularly important.

Jiangxi garment Institute, from the initial lease of the school premises, to a few years later, the industry used "several white house scale" to describe its magnificent new school site. It used its rapid rise to make people look up to the private institutions. When the famous designers, entrepreneurs and media in the industry were all focusing on the Jiangxi Clothing Institute, their influence once tried to challenge the well-known public institutions in China.

Of course, the Jiangxi Clothing Institute is only one of the representatives of the private colleges in the industry. In fact, the clothing professional private colleges still show a relatively stable upward trend.

Private colleges generally have investors who are strong in strength, and investors have strong capabilities in commercial operation.

Therefore, maintaining early survival is not difficult.

At the same time, the internal management system of private schools is relatively flexible. In the face of market changes, they can follow the market to carry out teaching allocation.

In fact, we are seeing more and more domestic major costume competitions, seeing the works of outstanding students produced by private colleges. After entering the market, these students are no less powerful than the outstanding students in famous universities.

But for most of the students in private colleges, their positioning is still dominated by higher technical talents. If the same teaching mode is used, it is very difficult to give full play to their respective advantages.

Private colleges should make use of the advantages of their own flexible system to realize the professional education mode of professional division and market segmentation.

Apart from self-employed vocational and technical schools and local private schools, private colleges and universities, which are the leading Western institutions of higher learning, are now entering the field of professional education in China in two ways, namely, independently or jointly running schools with domestic universities.

After several years of exploration in the field of clothing professional education, their current situation is nominal or unreal.

The "foreign monks will chant scriptures", which is more like a truth in fashion circles.

In addition, many international clothing colleges have a history of over 100 years. Especially in Europe, the leading fashion industry is developed, and its educational system is relatively perfect.

Therefore, international institutions are still popular in China.

In the first place, the leading international fashion colleges and universities came to China to play the leading role in the world: the most advanced international teaching system, European teachers, foreign language teaching, international brand internship opportunities, overseas study opportunities and so on.

External propaganda is also booming, but many of the promises have been greatly reduced or even not witnessed during the real Kung Fu stage.
