　 Talk about works: Men's wear is outstanding, hand-painted award is of great significance.

In the past, the best men's wear design award was set up for the first time in this competition. This seems to be a field which has been forgotten by many designers all year round. Compared with the generally accepted design of women's wear, men's wear design has not received enough attention. But the men's clothing industry in Changshu has been gathering strength to lead the market trend.

At present, Changshu is already building a "China menswear index release platform", contributing to the development of the industry. In response, this competition decided to award a separate award to reawaken the industry's passion for men's wear.

Different from the design of women's clothing, men's wear design seems simple, but in fact, more factors need to be considered. Jin Xiaolin said, "now men's clothing market includes color and style, but it is still partial to the basic. In fact, some men are still able to accept some designs which are new and bold. Market demand for creative and innovative men's clothing is still great. And now men's clothing market is also very fragmented, because men's ideas are also undergoing great changes.

After participating in the review, the judges who participated in the last election said that the work was generally better than the last one, and the design of men's wear was also outstanding. "I think it's very meaningful to set up the best hand-painted effect award. The ability of hand drawing embodies the designer's grasp of beauty. Designers should express their own design ideas by hand drawing. It is very important for designers to have such critical thinking in every design language, why you want to do so. If we can pass this idea on the next contest, it will be very good for our costume design and industry. Zou You mentioned the significance of selecting the best hand-painted effect award.

　 Suggestion: entries need to be addressed.

The reporters observed that the judges repeatedly looked at the entries and decided to praise them. Sometimes they frowned and put their work down. Under the questioning, these works that were not praised were often a common problem. "Some of the works are also good, but the design requirements are not very good. Our competition is aimed at casual wear design, but the contestants submitted a dress, which deviated from our theme. A judge said regrettably.

For the works that deviate from theme or design requirements such as dresses or other types of design, the organizers will insist on strict requirements, which is not only the insistence on the theme of the competition, but also the basic investigation of the participants.

The jury also reminded that the finalists should make their own garments according to their renderings. If the final garments and the finalists are too different, the competition results will be affected.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the gold and silver bronze prizes that have attracted much attention, the organizing committee has set up the "network Popularity Award", and the majority of netizens can vote for their favorite players.

It is reported that the 2014 "Changshu clothing City Cup" Sixth China leisure wear design elite Grand Prix Final will be held in Changshu, a famous cultural city in the south of the Yangtze River in May 20th.
