Liang Yan, one of the main architects of Beijing Olympic Games, made 5 predictions.

Since 1994, when Indonesian President Suharto had "tailored" to every leader attending the meeting, it was an unwritten rule for the informal meeting of APCE leaders to provide the uniform style and local characteristics casual clothes from the host to the leaders of the conference. After 13 years, the APEC meeting is back to China. What kind of costumes will the leaders wear in Beijing?

It is not possible to predict a big picture of Hanfu.

For the current APEC conference leaders' clothing, online has long been a "prediction". In view of the appearance of Tang costume at the APEC conference in Shanghai in 2004, many netizens were betting on "Hanfu". But insiders predict that the "winning rate" of Hanfu is not high, but it does not exclude certain elements in Hanfu.

Liang Yan, director of the clothing art and Engineering College of Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, head of women's wear professional direction, and one of the main designers of the 2008 Beijing Olympic uniforms, told the Beijing Morning Post (micro-blog) reporter that the Chinese clothing was usually derived from the Confucian system of Zhou Li and was the dress of the Central Plains people. "Hanfu" is characterized by crossing the right side and the belt, and using buttons less. The plane cutting is much larger than the human body's covering, but because of the use of the lace of the waist, it will show different lines with the changes of the human body. After wearing it, it will flow like a cloud.

Although Hanfu does not have strict requirements for stature, it is seemingly arbitrary and inclusive. However, Hanfu's unique and complete Hanfu is usually composed of three layers: the inner, the middle and the outer garment. The structure has ten parts: the collar, the collar, the skirt, the sleeve, the sleeve, the Jin, the band, the belt, and so on. It is a very complicated clothing system. In particular, there are strict rules for the aristocratic dress, including the dress and the uniform, and the sacrificial dress, such as the big clothes of the aristocrat's long sleeves and long sleeves.

According to Liang Yan, the "Hanfu" at that time was a dress culture and dress system based on the living condition and social stratum difference in history. However, if today's APEC clothing is only a reference to the basic form of clothing, it may be superficial to interpret the clothing culture, but if it is actually made according to the hierarchy of Hanfu, it will also violate the characteristics of equality and freedom advocated by the society. "Moreover, Hanfu is suitable for the aristocratic life at that time because of the large area of clothing material and restricted activity, but it is certainly not suitable for the modern fast life. So the possibility of Hanfu becoming APEC clothing is relatively small.

Forecasting clothing design implies Oriental Aesthetics

Liang Yan said that there are hundreds of styles of dress of the Chinese nation, but it is impossible to say which form is the representative of Chinese national dress culture. On the contrary, no matter what a form of clothing can be called "Chinese dress", it is precisely the consistency of spirit and artistic conception behind it. It is a unique oriental aesthetics and humanistic temperament.

"This year's APEC clothing should be able to include the Chinese national character," Liang Yan said. "Cultural mood and charm, taking into account the harmonious coexistence and fitness of human and clothing, comfortable state, can show the meaning of Oriental Aesthetics exactly, and fully take into account the individual differences of each leader, and have a good tolerance for the figure. Of course, the more such a garment, the choice of every design element needs precise and concise. "

Prediction is not a reprint of any historical costume.

Liang Yan told the Beijing Morning Post reporter that this year's APEC clothing should not be a replica of the typical clothing form in any historical era, nor a copy of the historical costume symbol, but also a classic inheritance of Chinese clothing culture. "For example, classic embroidery patterns and techniques, cloth embroidery, such as traditional brocade and silk, are all likely to be used."

At the same time, the final appearance of the clothing should also be very tolerant, because the leaders' posture is different, so there must be adjustable looseness, which will reflect the combination of plane structure and three-dimensional. "But in the necessary position, such as neckline, cuff and so on, it will maintain the necessary sophistication, and may apply to the processing of traditional craft details such as rolling and rolling."

Prediction of individual differences in clothing modification

Participated in Beijing in 2008. Olympic uniform Liang Yan, a leading creator, told reporters that compared with the Olympic costumes, it seems that the "single custom" leader's clothing is more highly inclusive. "Leaders of different countries are very different in posture. Designers must try to hide the difference when they are designing and dress them for modification. This is far more difficult than" private customization ".

At the same time, clothing should also consider the overall visual effect. "Collective appearances mean a holistic and complete tone. Too much pattern and color, such as" wave dot "patterns, will not be used.

Prediction of women's wear design or "Peng Liyuan style"

Liang Yan said that the upcoming APEC costumes, women's clothing is undoubtedly the highlight and amazing place.

Liang Yan told reporters that compared with women's clothing, men's clothing has strong limitations, whether the style or color are relatively low-key and restrained, the designer's "skills" will be more used in tailoring, fabrics and other things that are not easily seen by the public. And women's clothing will change endlessly from styles, colors, fabrics and patterns. The public will have higher expectations for women leaders and ladies of all countries, and designers will have more room to play.

"When Chairman Xi Jinping visited Mrs. Peng Liyuan several times and the first lady of China and the United States met, Peng Liyuan's dress was not only popular among the masses, but also inspired by fashion designers, and more designers began to think about what the relevance between costume design and traditional culture is, and what is the most valuable."

Liang Yan said that from 2001 Shanghai APEC's Tang costume appeared, it has been 13 years now. In the past 13 years, the attitude of the design group to traditional culture has changed a lot. It is believed that the age of traditional culture equals to the "symbol" of Tang costume, collar and collar and so on. It has basically become a "past tense". Similar to the "Peng Liyuan style" design with Oriental introverted, gentle beauty and more artistic conception, it will more reflect the designer's attitude towards traditional culture and "put it into practice" in the dressing of this APEC leader and his spouse.
