Inspiration: Chinese charm and French elegance
Among those who integrate western culture and costume design, designer Chen Bei is undoubtedly one of the best.
It is learnt that, as a Post-80 fashion designer, Chen Bei's design inspiration is also inseparable from two words: Chinese charm and French elegance.
Today, the reporter will take you to see how the Chinese are going to the world stage in Chen Bei's eyes.
Chinese improved clothing
Understanding.
As early as 10 years ago, Chen Bei opened his own clothing brand BEI in Paris, France, and won the favour of former French Prime Minister De Villepin and former French First Lady Bruni (CarlaBruniSarkozy) in order to improve the traditional Chinese "grandma pants".
In recent years, when Chen Bei set up a Beijing studio, she also made advanced menswear for the Nobel laureate Mo Yan.
10 years ago, independent brand was established in France.
"Fang Fang" is favored by the first lady.
Even though he had been able to speak fluent French and English for ten years, Chen Bei was still a fluent Mandarin speaker with very fast speech.
This is just like her style of dress: simple and neat, but never forget where her roots are.
In 1996, Chen Bei of Xi'an received the dyeing and weaving of the Central Academy of Arts and crafts (now Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University).
Fashion Design Major
The admission notice started her fashion design.
In the second year of the sophomore year, Chen Bei's work entered the International Youth designer competition and went to Paris to compete in the final.
For the first time in Paris, she decided to choose France's Fashion Design Institute, Atelier Chardon Savard, after four years of university graduation, to pursue further education in Paris, Savoy.
Fortunately, after studying abroad in 2004, Chen Bei successfully opened his own name in Paris.
Clothing brand
BEI and the first fashion house.
Chen Bei believed that
Chinese designers
The advantage of foreign countries is always the inspiration of Chinese traditional culture to inspiration.
How to combine the natural elements and the traditional elements of the Oriental elements with the sense of sculpture in Western art is something Chen Bei feels he can do.
Because of this, the natural eastern elements and Western stereotactic "mixed blood" clothing have given Chen Bei a lot of French celebrities.
Her customers include De Villepin, who was the wife of the French Prime Minister in 2005 ~2007, and Marie, a famous French woman writer in the Marie.
What Chen Bei has been more sure of in France is the Chinese improved wide leg pants "cloth Fang pants".
After Chen Bei's improvement in materials and waist and buttocks, the overgrown "Grandma's cotton pants" became the upper part of the body with the sling under the belt.
In 2011, former French First Lady Bruni made Chen Bei a famous Chinese travel law after trying on Chen Bei's "Fang Fang".

Mo Yan customizes Nuo award dress
Good clothes, find the real self.
While working in France, in 2007, Chen Bei began to set up a clothing studio in Beijing, focusing on tailoring clothes and dresses for senior women's wear, and began to travel to Beijing and Paris.
However, what really attracted Chen Bei's attention to more Chinese people was her men's custom - tailored dress for the 2012 Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan.
Chen Bei recalled that she had given her less than a month.
What style of clothing does Chen Beiwen and Mo Yan like, Mo Yan says casually, is decided by Chen Beilai.
After a long chat, Mo Yan decided to let Chen Bei be her.

And signed relevant contracts.
For this reason, Mo Yan gave her Nobel Prize award list to Chen Bei, so that she could arrange clothes for every day's occasion.
In the past half a month, Chen Bei made 5 sets of custom clothes for Mo Yan, including western style suits and Chinese tunic suits.
"Mo Yan's clothes are black and white, these colors can give people a very strong shock, and I also add a bit of red to represent China."
Chen Bei said.
When the tailor was finished, easy-going Mo Yan showed satisfaction when he tried on the clothes.
Little known is that Chen Bei actually signed up for custom clothes, and Mo Yan's wife and daughter had three families.
For Chen Bei, who is good at women's clothing, she says she spends most of her mind on Mrs. Mo Yan's clothes.
"Because the auntie is very simple, it is very difficult to persuade her to change her views on her dress."
Chen Bei said that it is Chen Bei's idea to let Mo Yan's wife and Mo Yan match naturally and wear the Chinese international norm.
Beijing time December 6, 2013, Mo Yan attended the Nobel prize in literature prize winner's press conference.
In the meantime, black suits lined with black and white shirt and blue tie printed on the personal symbol of Mo Yan.
"Why didn't you take my black tie? Free play is an artist's nature. I can't manage it. Let's play with him."
At the Nobel prize presentation ceremony, Mo Yan temporarily changed the original award dress and changed his own swallowtail costume to give the prize.
In the view of designer Chen Bei, clothing is a person's external language and expression. "The so-called good clothes, besides pleasing to the eye, should also enable people to find their true selves."
Chinese improvement
It is the fusion of Chinese broad spirit and Western fashion.
Reporter: what is the modern design of improving China in your mind?
Chen Bei: there is an era of clothing in an era.
The Chinese improved costume design, which I understand, is a real fusion of Chinese and Western genes, just like a hybrid.
My design does not like to be very particular, such as sewing a dragon and Phoenix on a piece of clothing, and I will not use the Chinese element of the button.
I think improved.
Chinese clothing
It is a spiritual integration.
It contains both the profound cultural heritage of China and the fashion classics of Western heritage.
Reporter: many designers say that the integration of Chinese and Western culture tells us the inspiration of Chinese culture. What is this?
Chen Bei: everyone understands differently.
I think the eastern culture is loose, very casual, free and easy.
For example, I like drawing, and I can show rich effects through freehand brushwork, landscape painting and calligraphy.
actually
Chinese and Western fusion
It is to draw on the essence of art to inherit and develop the tradition, and to assemble the Western three-dimensional exquisite design.
Reporter: what is special about Mo Yan's design of the Nobel Prize?
Chen Bei: time is very tight, but fortunately Mr. Mo Yan is easy-going, and he doesn't have any requests for design. He is very satisfied.
Instead of being an aunt (Mrs. Mo Yan), she likes to wear big red traditional Chinese clothes, and it is more difficult for her to convince her to wear my design.
I have always wanted to make Chinese people wear the international norm on the world stage, rather than the uniform cheongsam or an obvious Chinese pattern skirt.
Beautiful, elegant, international, it's mine.
Clothing design
Philosophy.
Reporter: taking Mo Yan as an example, what do designers need to know about customers when undertaking advanced customization?
Chen Bei: advanced customization is not only tailored, but also consistent with the customer's temperament.
Like Mr. Mo Yan, only the clothes are low-key, can people be high-profile.
I personally feel that clothing is a language.
He is a very low-key, simple and unadorned man. He is also a very individual character.
Therefore, his wisdom, temperament, low profile and cultural background of Chinese people are all I need to show through clothing.
For example, the black-and-white seal shirt at the Literary Awards Conference, I designed his name as a seal.
I think the combination of seal and linen can have a strong visual effect and shock.
The seal is a typical Chinese element. The small seal character gives people freedom and freehand brushwork.
Cotton and linen are not expensive, especially dazzling fabrics, and Mo Yan teacher "a son of a farmer", "a character writer" temperament is very consistent.
Reporter: but in the ceremony of the ceremony, Chinese netizens have different opinions.
What did you think of the design at that time?
Chen Bei: actually, this is not the clothes I originally designed for Mo Yan, but he himself insisted on wearing it in Sweden.
Including necktie, because my design likes wholeness. I think black suits and black and white shirts should match black tie and have a sense of series.
But Mr. Mo Yan himself has a blue tie, which is his personality.
Including Mrs. Mo Yan, the last photo appeared in the media is different from my original design.
The designer only gives advice and reference, and how to match or dress himself.
Because clothes are alive, and the people who wear it are the soul that gives them life.
Reporter: do you usually need to sign a confidentiality agreement for this kind of advanced customization?
Chen Bei: not necessarily.
Like Mr. Mo Yan, there was no sign of confidentiality agreement.
But before Mo Yan's appearance, I chose to remain silent.
