Jin Xuwen: For Stage Costumes, Design Inspiration Comes From Life.

In 1996, with his brother's advice, Jin Xuwen turned to a tailor to provide his brother with stage costumes.

"I like designing, but sewing skills are not very good. At that time, my insurance colleagues were just tailors, and the two of us hit it off and went out to start a business together."

Jin Xuwen said.

At first, two people followed suit. Later, with the understanding of stage costumes, Jin Xuwen began her fashion design, and gradually recognized by customers, and the business grew bigger and bigger.

Jin Xuwen told reporters that most of her inspiration for making clothes comes from life.

Once, customers asked to make a dress worn by Qing Dong to take part in the fashion show, but to show the characteristics of Jiangnan Water Village.

When Jin Xuwen saw it, there was an artistic conception in his mind: the West Lake side, the wind blowing willows, the pink and willow green...

She thought that the dress should be replaced by the blue that Qing Dong wore before, and it could show the charm of Jiangnan woman. Then she told her customers the idea, and the customer agreed. After the dress was finished, it was named "Lotus Pond Moonlight" and received many good reviews in the fashion show.

Jin Xuwen said she enjoyed the process of designing clothes. "I will have many ideas. Although there are no professional tailors in specific operation, I have my own unique design concept."

In 2008, the senior university fashion show class will represent Jinhua to Hongkong to participate in the eighth Hongkong international mid aged Golden Bauhinia Olympic awards chorus, dance and costume art competition. They find Jin Xuwen's costume for the competition.

"I thought at that time that the competition must reflect the taste of China. Therefore, the color of the clothing will set the Chinese red. It will be beautiful to match the gold with the Chinese knot and lantern.

But how to design clothes specifically, let Jin Xuwen racking his brains, "in order to design this set of clothes, I haven't slept well for several nights. The difficulty lies in how to integrate Chinese knots and lanterns into clothing."

After thinking about it for a few days,

Finally, with the idea, she made the big telescopic lanterns directly into the sleeves, and the small lanterns were cut to the buttons of the clothes.

Because the members of the dance group are different in size, Jin Xuwen also added different elements to the costumes.

"The fatter ones have joined.

The elements of the neck are longer and the elements of the Tang costume are added, so that everyone can show the feminine beauty.

Kung Fu did not bear the heart of the people, in that contest, the members of the senior university fashion show won the top prize of the competition - the Golden Bauhinia Flower award.

Their costumes were also well received by the people of Hongkong.

They say that a woman's wardrobe is always less than one.

。

But for Jin Xuwen, who has strong hands-on ability, this problem has never been a problem.

When she was young, she worked in a Jinhua cloth factory, and she could make fashion fashions as fashion magazines at the time.

When she was 33 years old, she began to make stage costumes, and from imitation to independent design, her talents were recognized by more and more people.

Today, the woman tailor who falls in love with fashion design is 52 years old, but still sticks to her passion for creation and enjoys the process of design.

A few days ago, the reporter found her and talked with her about the past.
