Chinese And British Designers Jointly Design Cloud Brocade Dress To Inherit The Heritage Culture Of Nanjing

It took nearly a year for China and Britain to work together.

New brocade

Made of

Yesterday, at last, the mysterious veil was unveiled on the wall of Ming City in Nanjing.

Including the famous designer Sandra Marie, who designed the costumes for the queen, the Chinese and British designers and knitted artists have spent a lot of energy in order to make the brocade shine more brilliance on the international stage. The new fabric is not only the most difficult silk fabric but also the red carpet and exhibitors in all parts of the world. "We hope to jointly protect Nanjing brocade and protect Nanjing's heritage culture." yesterday, the leaders of China and Britain told reporters about the story behind the scenes.

The fabric is very difficult. It only takes 6 weeks to install looms.

"I have known foreigners who have seen clouds brocade in Nanjing have told me this is the most beautiful thing they have ever seen."

Documentary director Frank told reporters that he was attracted by the ancient handicraft and intangible cultural heritage of Nanjing, China. "Because of the complexity of the craft and the lost handicraft in foreign countries, we hope to make more people understand the brocade."

So the brocade, once a royal dress, was handed to Sandra Marie, the famous designer who had designed the costumes for the queen of England. "Of course, the problem before us is to develop new fabrics."

As a successor to the intangible cultural heritage of woolen woolen, designer Sam hopes to develop a new brocade fabric called "silver darling". "The blue of the sea is the background color. The pattern above is called herring. It is a very important natural resource for Scotland and the North Atlantic coast. Fish is also an important part of Chinese culture, and the south of the Yangtze River is known as the land of fish and rice."

The meaning is great, but it is very difficult to achieve it. "Because in order to show the sparkling effect of the sea, we need to use the tapering effect of" gradual change ", and the fish in the pattern has the requirement of size.

After a lot of research and running in, this new pattern of brocade fabric is very different from traditional fabrics. It's also the most difficult silk fabric in the market. When I first looked at it, I almost felt it was difficult to finish it.

Zhang Xi, director of Nanjing cloud brocade Institute, briefed reporters.

It is reported that the fish in the pattern is the smallest fish in the current brocade technology. It takes six weeks to re equip the looms for the design, and all the fabric designs have been woven for 4 months.

The new fabric is thinner and smoother than the former brocade fabric. "The whole weaving process is like a mathematician completing the difficult problem," the documentary staff told reporters. "Brocade weaving" is like a computer program. Fabric designer Sam has changed a program to make the new fabric.

In March of this year, after the new fabric was put off, it was sent to the United Kingdom, and the designer Sandra Marie created a new dress.

When he first appeared yesterday, the reporter saw that this dress was not only exquisite but also "Scotland lattice", which is "quite internationalized, which can walk the red carpet and also make the high setting."

Director Frank told reporters that Sandra Marie designed the dress for the queen, and was once called the Queen's "most appropriate dress" in the UK. The design of this cloud brocade dress will also be amazing.

Frank introduces that the traditional woollen cloth of Scotland is usually the color of heavy land, and the brocade is usually light like water. It wants to combine the two into one, so the blue color is used to bring people the color and rhythm of the sea.

But this blue is not easy to find. "Cloud brocade has thousands of colors. We studied in the UK for two months and picked out nine kinds of colors from these colors. Then we came to Nanjing for an hour's comparison and finally determined the current color."

Common heritage Yun Jin dress will debut in the world

In the interview, the reporter learned that this dress will first be on the American stage in February next year. "The first is the New York Film Festival. The documentary will not only attend, but also dress up on the red carpet.

Next, film festivals around the world and red carpet will have their shadows. "

Director Frank introduces several designers who combine the culture of two countries through their fabric design. However, the real purpose of Chinese and British collaborators is not just to combine, but to jointly protect and inherit non heritage culture.

"My main purpose is to protect the intangible cultural heritage of Nanjing, Nanjing brocade."

Frank said, "many non heritage cultures are on the edge of extinction. We hope to attract more young people to interest through documentaries, and enable more young people to participate in the protection and inheritance through international cooperation and innovation, so as to better inherit the brocade culture."

There is a broader space for non heritage culture, while young people like fashion and high technology. Frank hopes to let young people understand the intangible cultural heritage of the two countries. The documentary is spreading fast and widely on the Internet, which is conducive to the cultural exchange and inheritance between the two countries.
