Liu Yang Returns! Work Together With Carol Century To Create The Oscar Prize For Chinese Fashion Design

"I am not a master." In this era when many people try to flaunt themselves as masters, Liu Yang, a famous fashion designer in China, says so. With the spirit of avant-garde and outstanding talent, he has pioneered many fashions and become a fashion benchmark in the Chinese clothing industry. But he has been playing the "disoriented" stage of his career, leaving the noisy and gorgeous stage and commercial insulation. It is the "Caro century Liu Yang Fashion Culture Award" created by the Caro century clothing Institute of Italy, which is known as "the cradle of the sky" by international fashion circles as the "cradle of the sky".

"Return is the responsibility of being a designer." Liu Yang said he hoped to pass on his years of accumulation. In his mind, the significance of this award is that the new generation of designers who truly love fashion design and talent will fundamentally enhance the core competitiveness of China's garment industry and promote a new peak in China's fashion design.

Leaving is for precipitation.

In 1999, Liu Yang emigrated to New York. Before that, he was labeled "success", "China's fashion design leader" and "ten outstanding young people in Guangzhou" and so on. 天分與勤奮，讓劉洋自1987 年從廣州美術學院服裝設計專業畢業后，便在中國服裝設計與時尚界嶄露頭角，并所向披靡，創造了諸多“第一”的記錄：用自身藝術形象重新定義了“裁縫”職業，將其變為服裝設計師和明星的第一人;第一個將性感服飾大膽地展現在中國T 臺，引起海內外轟動;第一個拍攝中國男性寫真集的名人;第一個舉辦中國有史以來首臺大型男裝發布會，開辟了中國男裝表演的新紀元;第一個在國際時裝秀場舉行時裝作品發布，令歐洲服裝界和新聞界刮目相看的中國設計師;第一個跨界編劇、主演電視劇的服裝設計師??1998 年，劉洋迎來事業的豐收年，摘得中國服裝設計師最高榮譽“金頂獎”、中國服裝設計師商業排行和媒體排行的雙冠、第四屆中國“十佳”服裝設計師榜首以及中國時尚大獎最佳男裝設計。 "All kinds of honor are in one, but I suddenly feel lost and lost my goal." Liu Yang recalled that at the same time, the impetuous atmosphere of the fashion circle made him realize that it was difficult to study quietly, which was not conducive to the growth of designers. As a result, he left the field quietly from the spotlight and began his self practice "reclusive" life.

In the days when I left, Liu Yang was quite a bit drunk and I woke up alone. It seemed to fade from the fashion design industry. But in fact, he never left the fashion circle, he always concentrated on professional precipitation, and constantly sought new breakthroughs in himself. "I try to feel life and touch art, not limited to the field of clothing." Liu Yang said frankly, far away from impetuous, let him find his rhythm, no desire to be rigid, can follow the feeling of the heart to do, want to do things, "although no fame and wealth, I got a great spiritual satisfaction."

The return is for inheritance.

On the 18 day of March 2018, at the signing ceremony of the "Carol century Liu Yang Fashion Culture Award" held in Guangzhou, Liu Yang signed an agreement with Italy Carol century clothing Institute to promote the education of fashion design in China.

The two sides join hands to work together to promote the integration of Italy's clothing technology and Chinese fashion culture, and help the training of innovative talents in international fashion design. It also declares Liu Yang's end to the seclusion of life in the world. Many years of overseas life made Liu Yang's patriotic complex increasingly prominent. "Every time I return to China, I am amazed at the great changes in China!" Liu Yang said frankly. Witnessing the rapid development of Chinese society and economy brought about the upgrading of the national aesthetic and the upgrading of consumption, which made us feel delighted and proud. In his view, designers have ushered in the best opportunities, and as a model that has influenced the designers of a generation, Liu Yang has been eager to show his exemplary power in his heart. Learning and thinking abroad has given him a new understanding of responsibility - not satisfied with his personal income, but from a more macro perspective, passing on his heart and soul in fashion design, driving the growth of the new generation of designers and contributing to the dream of "Oriental Paris" in China. In this mood, I met with Carol century clothing Institute in Italy.

Over the past ten years, the rapidly growing demand for creative talents in China's garment industry has been increasing, which has led to the trend of the international fashion design institute and vocational training institutions to hit the Chinese market. For a time, fashion design and training were flourishing, but clothing plate making education was still far from enough. Against this background, Italy's Carol century clothing Institute, known as "the cradle of the sky" by the international fashion industry, was invited to China three years ago by the Guangdong clothing association, and founded the Guangzhou branch of Italy Carol century clothing Institute in Guangzhou, an important base of garment industry.

Italy's rigorous fashion plate making technology and teaching system are the essence of the teaching concept of Carol century clothing Institute. "A designer does not understand the version, which is equivalent to the fact that the architect can not draw the blueprint." Liu Yang said frankly that plate making is the soft rib of many domestic designers. It is well aware of the importance of the edition to dress designers. In the days when they moved abroad, they were also continuing to supplement the related courses and polish the plate making skills. At the same time, Liu Yang is also deeply aware of the key role of universities in guiding the future development of talents. Based on the consideration of these comprehensive elements, "Carol century Liu Yang Fashion Culture Award" came into being.

Li Changsong, Dean of the Guangzhou branch of the Carol century clothing Institute in Italy, said that the Institute chose Liu Yang as a partner, not only because Liu Yang is an influential designer of fashion design, but also because of the fact that many designers are more concerned about their pursuit of fame and wealth, Liu Yang is an exception. "Sincerely repaying the society and helping designers grow up, they have been looking for opportunities and partners, hoping to contribute their talents to train young designers, which coincides with the concept of cooperation in the college."

Listing moral character as an important award and training standard

It is reported that the Carol century clothing Institute of Italy, as an internationally influential and renowned fashion academy, has established a fashion culture award with the famous designers of Chinese fashion design to praise the excellent Chinese costume design works or aspiring young designers. This is the first time in the history of its 80 years.

According to Liu Yang, he has agreed with the Italy Carol century clothing Institute to establish the "Carol century Liu Yang Fashion Culture Award" at the college, to raise funds for the society to create the Fashion Culture Award Fund, which is used to reward outstanding students and students in fashion design, and to become outstanding young people who are interested in fashion designers, especially for some talented people who love fashion design and talent but are stranded in economic conditions. Liu Yang said that the fund will set up special person management. He is willing to carry out the zero distance design innovation and guidance to the award-winning outstanding students, as an important reward for the "Carol century Liu Yang Fashion Culture Award".

In addition, moral character is listed as an important criterion in the award selection rules. Liu Yang said that in the past experience, some designers did not consider the input of enterprises and the training of colleges and universities. They only looked after their fame and wealth. They hoped to build the "Carol century Liu Yang Fashion Culture Award" into a "Oscar" style benchmarking Award for the Chinese garment industry, and to cultivate a truly talented team of designers for national enterprises.
