Italy Designers Watch Chinese Fashion

Milan, Italy, has always been the fashion sanctuary that designers dreamed of. In 2014, Liuhua International Garment City, one of the organizers of the Liuhua international garment festival in China, specially invited many designers from Italy, Milan, Korea and other places to hold a number of fashion shows. Many famous designers joined the festival to create a feast in a fashion circle.

On the morning of August 17th, reporters saw three of the fashion designers from Milan, Italy, in the VIP room of the Hong Kong International Fashion Center. They talked about their Chinese lines and their design stories.

Alberto Zambell: I want to bring the Chinese silk road back to Italy.

Alberto Zambell is the designer of the same brand in Italy. The brand was born in Italy in 2013 and belongs to the Italy women's clothing brand.

Alberto Zambell clothing is mainly tailored to women's clothing, embroidered as the main fabric, decorated by diamonds, so that the clothing is more three-dimensional and fashion.

Alberto Zambell said that he likes to draw directly on the human body through the way of stereotactic cutting, and attaches great importance to the later sewing and processing.

In this red cotton fashion week, the brand shows women's clothing in the winter of 2014 and the spring and summer of 2015.

Asked about the source of inspiration, Alberto Zambell said he liked reading books and movies very much, so he often used some storytelling content as the theme of each quarter. For example, the clothes displayed in Guangzhou show flowers and Mantis themes. "I want to show the whole process of a flower from germination to blossom and then return to seeds through exquisite embroidery, and embroidery to depict the tone and graceful shape of the mantis yellow green."

As a "old China hand" who has worked in China for nearly 20 years, Alberto Zambell has been very interested in Chinese history and culture. "Especially the Silk Road culture in China has fascinated me. I really hope to bring this culture back to Italy and integrate into my own design."

Stefano Ughetti: I like to get inspiration at the airport.

Stefano Ughetti is the designer of Italy brand CAMO. The brand was founded five years ago, mainly based on modern urban casual menswear. Now there are more than 100 sales counters in the world.

In this China Liuhua international clothing festival, the clothing series displayed by CAMO is "flying" as the theme. It is composed of lawn and foliage green, pink, yellow, blue and gray throughout the summer. This year's very popular digital printing pattern will continue to appear in the spring and summer series of the brand next year.

For Stefano Ughetti, the clothes he designed must be completely Italian, regardless of the source of the fabric and the tailoring process from Italy.

"I will get fabrics from the cities near Milan, Italy to make garments. I hope that my meticulous attitude towards clothes can help me create exquisite, fashionable and charming men."

For inspiration, Stefano Ughetti said he would often go to the airport to observe the crowd, because in the airport, he could see tourists from all over the world, and the tourists would wear more leisurely clothes. He could dress up to suit different national characteristics.

There is a little story that may help you to know Stefano Ughetti.

Stefano Ughetti has designed a pair of trousers with big crotch and narrow crotch, but this style is not accepted by the Italy clothing industry when it is designed, but now this kind of trousers has been popular in Europe. It is also the popular style of Haren trousers nowadays.

Mauro Gasperi: I hope that students majoring in design can participate in fashion week more.

Mauro Gasperi, a local designer in Italy, was born in Brescia, northern Italy, and was influenced by many contemporary architectural artists. After graduating from art school, he came to Florence to study knitting fashion design. In 2008, Mauro Gasperi opened in Brescia's first flagship store. He decided to run his own fashion brand. He hoped to convey his understanding of women through the combination of architecture and printing: the contemporary female image of international metropolis, leisure and freedom.

In this red cotton international fashion week, Mauro Gasperi mainly displays women's clothing in autumn and winter, and continues to use its main style, combining different cloth and printing through the outline of the building. The black and white plus fresh and sexy coloring is still the main theme of this season. The fabric is printed with plucent and pparent color blocks, and the level of clothing is further deepened through simple outline and graphics.

Mauro Gasperi, the first time to come to China, describes Guangzhou as a very fashionable and beautiful metropolis. He said: in China, there are many young people who study and design. They are eager to get the chance to become a designer. But for young people, learning and inspiring is very important. He hopes that these young designers in China can participate in different fashion week more and absorb more social practice experience, so that they can get more creative inspiration.
