2014APEC, Leader Of Fashion Design For Conference Leaders: Wu Qingqing

2014 APEC leaders meeting (

The summit again returned to China. The costumes of leaders and other participants have become one of the focuses of global attention.

The main course designers who have been fortunate enough to be the conference have gone through what course they have gone through and have become the focus of the spotlight.

Wu Qingqing, the orientation designer who served in the Russian President Putin's team, interviewed reporters.

Designer Wu Qingqing interprets "new Chinese dress"

What is meant by "

"Designer

As the leader of fashion design, the APEC conference leader has the right to speak. The new suit means Chinese clothing with the new image of the Chinese people. Its roots are in the "middle" and its soul is "ritual" and its shape is "new".

Wu Qingqing believed that the emphasis should be on the word "new".

First of all, the convening of this conference is in a completely new historical period.

With the rise of China's economy and the concept of harmony and common prosperity, China's great power style is obvious to all, which requires the design of clothes to be more inclusive, more introverted and implicit.

In order to highlight understatement, preciseness and atmosphere, designer Wu Qingqing has added rich layers on the basis of traditional collar and cardigan.

The fabric is made of computerized jacquard weaving on traditional silk, Song Jin and Zhang satin, making it more low-key and crisp through a small amount of wool fiber and colorful yarn.

Secondly, the "new" convened at this conference is in the period of social and cultural development in an all-round way.

With the new understanding of the fashion and the improvement of the aesthetic standard, the demand for fashion wear has been upgraded to a new level. The leader's clothing must be innovating on the basis of the traditional "Zhong" style, reflecting the aesthetic style of "elephant without type, simplicity and simplicity".

In the pattern, combined with the traditional sea water scarf, the word pattern innovation represents the 21 economies of the landscape, and the good intentions of the pattern.

In the process, Chinese and Western styles of cutting are used, such as buttons, inserts and rolls.

In terms of color, we use the traditional hue of the Imperial Palace red, indigo, peacock blue, deep purple red, golden brown, black brown and so on.

Responsibility of a Chinese designer

Since 1994, when Indonesian President Suharto has "tailored" to every leader attending the APEC conference, it is an unwritten rule for the informal meeting of leaders of the APCE to provide a uniform style and casual wear with local characteristics from the host to the leaders of the conference.

"About a year ago, when I received the invitation letter of 2014 APEC leaders' costume design, I was preparing for the fashion week in New York.

It is well known that the process of dress designing for APEC leaders is rather harsh. As a Chinese designer, it is my duty to be a designer in China. With a sense of mission, I decided to lead more than 20 people in the main design team of VLOV, a man's clothing brand.

After several rounds of design deliberation, at the end of February this year, nearly twenty new designs for men's and women's garments were selected for the first time.

As a Chinese fashion designer growing up in the background of fashion internationalization, Wu Qingqing has his own unique view on the broad and profound Chinese traditional culture.

In June, after two times of competition and improvement, the designer Wu Qingqing received five important guidance points: "style first", "formation series", "strong sense of ceremony", "respecting individuals" and "popular promotion". But this time, the sample production is tight and heavy task. The 5 day sample making is a severe test for our whole team and myself.

In the final design modification plan, the first time I submitted the design of the collar collar and the buckle button element on the clothes, I added the more traditional cultural tradition cloud pattern decoration to the hem.

When asked about the topic of sacrifice, designer Wu Qingqing said: "I feel that it is a great honor for me to become a member of the leading group of APEC International Conference leaders. To put aside other work is not a sacrifice for me and my VLOV team, but a harvest.

Through repeated discussions with the team of experts, I have deepened my research on clothing culture and produced a new understanding.

Expectation of "new suit" in the post Era

After the APEC meeting, designer Wu Qingqing firmly believed that "new suit" will lead the global trend, and he called it the "new suit" post era.

He said: "as a fashion designer, the task of costume design for APEC conference leaders has come to an end, and the task of disseminated the culture and ideas that represent the latest fashion concepts and disseminated through clothing elements to more people has just begun."

For fashion designers, the experience of participating in APEC leaders' costume design is very precious. It brings not only the ability of designers to enhance their national pride, but also their national pride. What's more, as designers of fashion, designers deeply love and study the traditional culture deeply, because Chinese traditional culture will win more recognition and dissemination in their contemporary world through their works.

"This time I can participate in designing clothing for APEC leaders, and I feel the strong and prosperous China today.

This era is an excellent opportunity for designers of my generation to believe that Chinese fashion designers will rise faster.

As a fashion designer, I always adhere to the design concept of "tradition and modernity, national and world" in every quarter of my brand VLOV design.

The design of my costume is simple and generous, and it will be innovated in terms of color, fabric, profile and structure.

The design elements of the new and contemporary coexistence and blending of things that will be used in the leaders' costumes of the APEC conference will first appear in my senior custom series. In the post era of "new suit", the original design patterns will be concise, and provide a higher level of design service for more people with high quality and exquisite workmanship.

Wu Qingqing is still a silent expression and expression, but with a hint of self-confidence and pride.
