Designer Zhao Huizhou: What Are The Historic Breakthroughs In APEC'S New China?

The leader's clothing attire represents not only the image taste of the individual, but also the cultural style of a country.

In November 10th, the Chinese APEC summit was held in Beijing in 2014. The leaders of the 21 economies and the "new dress" of the first lady became the focus during the official appearance of the leaders of the two economies in Beijing.

As 2014APEC fashion designer, Zhao Huizhou, chief designer of EACHWAY (Yi Hui), said that the general idea of this APEC fashion design is not only to embody the Chinese elements, to highlight the cultural connotation of the host country, to display the great power demeanour, but also to respect and integrate elements of other countries and ethnic groups, so that leaders can "express their beauty, beauty, and beauty" and use modern and international approaches to the use of Chinese elements.

In her view, this APEC costume design has made many historic breakthroughs: for the first time, the collision of the unprecedented scale costume design for the APEC conference was initiated; for the first time, the wisdom of the national designers was mobilized for the creation of APEC leaders' costumes; the first time designers, academics and national leaders crossed the boundary to participate in the interaction of costume design.

At the same time, the introduction of "new suit" is the extraction of elements that adapt to the culture of the times in traditional Chinese culture. It is integrated with the contemporary clothing culture, aesthetic needs and fashion trends, making it both traditional and modern, both Chinese and international. It can be worn on ceremonial occasions as well as in daily life.

This has become an important value of this APEC costume design.

During the whole design process, Zhao Huizhou received the guidance of Du Yuzhou, honorary chairman of China Textile Industry Federation.

From the beginning of fabric design, China Textile Information Center and the China fashion fabric innovation alliance, which are under the national textile product development center, have cooperated fully, bringing together the innovative force of the entire textile industry chain.

In the process, Sun Ruizhe, vice chairman of the China Textile Industry Federation, Li Bin Hong, director of the national textile product development center, and strong support from many industrial forces such as the national textile product development base enterprise, etc.

"Without their contributions, the design will not be successful.

This is a collective display of the strength of China's textile industry. "

Zhao Huizhou said.

Zhao Huizhou is not only a designer's sense of responsibility and sense of honor, but also a good window and platform for Chinese design to go to the world, which is of great significance to the growth and development of Chinese designers, the shaping and upgrading of China's new national costume and dress, according to Mr. APEC.

"Participation in the design of APEC clothing has also led many designers to think about what Chinese dress is and how to integrate traditional elements into costume design.

Today, China's design goes abroad to reflect the beauty of Chinese dress. It should not only paste its own culture DNA, integrate traditional elements into design, but also focus on finding ways to internationalize traditional elements.
