Tang Guangyan, The Top Ten Designer: Show National Pride With Oriental Aesthetics

Because of Tang Guangyan's master design, the oriental aesthetics and exquisite craftsmanship embodied in cheongsam have been inherited here in Shenzhen, an international metropolis, and are blooming with new light.

Although located in an old industrial area, Nanling "Zhongsi garden" in Longgang District has long been well known in the industry. Recently, a reporter came to the Chinese cheongsam hall here. Tang Guangyan, one of the top ten designers in Shenzhen, is studying the cheongsam craft.

As a fashion design major in the Central Academy of Arts and crafts, she learned from Taiwan cheongsam master Yang Chenggui. After learning all the skills, she came to Shenzhen in the late 1990s to work hard and founded the brand of "Tang Song".

She is good at the design and production of Yang's traditional cheongsam, including wedding cheongsam design and social cheongsam design, adhere to the traditional classic style, integrate modern fashion elements, and give new connotation, so that cheongsam culture can enter more public life and be reborn.

The reporter learned that since its establishment, "Tang Song" brand has always been based on the concept of "carrying forward Chinese traditional culture and inheriting intangible cultural heritage". It has designed and produced cheongsam, Tang suit and related accessories, providing customers with private design and high-end customized services.

It is worth mentioning that "Tang Song" upholding the "craftsman spirit" has won market recognition. "Fortune forum", "26th Universiade" and other large-scale events and important events have adopted "Tang Song" brand cheongsam. Experts in the industry give high praise to Tang Guangyan's cheongsam design: classic design, smooth tailoring, exquisite workmanship, becoming a model of Chinese cheongsam.

At the 5th China (Shenzhen) International Fashion Festival held in Longhua big wave, Tang Guangyan brought a large-scale walk show with the theme of "Splendid China". "This exhibition is a series of silk embroidery cheongsam and fashion cheongsam, inspired by the beauty of embroidery in Chinese clothing culture." She said that the ten pieces were "handmade flat embroidery", "Pan gold embroidery", "ribbon embroidery" and "colorful and splendid" cheongsam designed with fashionable elements. Three of them won the gold award of the national "cultural and cultural fair" and were deeply loved by consumers. "Through this show, we can convey cultural confidence, cultural heritage and cultural integration."

She said that Shenzhen is ushering in the historical opportunity of "two district driving" of "leading demonstration zone" and "Dawan district". As "bay area people", they should reach a consensus on the lifestyle of recognizing and creating beauty, and should have a global perspective, integrate Chinese and Western cultures, integrate resources, work together, seize the great opportunity to create prosperity in the bay area.

"The future development should have a global strategic vision, integrate Chinese and Western cultures, make life more convenient, attach importance to the sense of ceremony, and pay attention to the design of environmental protection, science and technology, aesthetics and personality." She believes that in fashion design, there should be cultural connotation, fashion elements, emotional, positive and innovative design.

"A person's dress represents his own aesthetic taste and attitude towards life." Tang Guangyan said that she used fashion design to express her pursuit of beauty, pride of the nation, respect and inheritance of exquisite crafts.

Now she is a master of Arts and crafts in Shenzhen, a red flag bearer in March 8, and a senior arts and crafts artist in Guangdong Province. She is at the peak of a designer's creation. Last year, she innovatively designed a series of embroidered cheongsam such as "Hello Shenzhen", integrating more modern elements, and using Shenzhen landmarks and elements to express the spirit of Shenzhen and Shenzhen fashion, winning praise from all sides.

What is the "height" of a designer? She said: one is to be recognized by the public; the second is to realize the artistic life; the third is to create a beautiful and harmonious society; the fourth is to become a world model of mission.

At present, she has a wish to create a piece of cheongsam that she is most satisfied with and can be inherited. "I want to show the exquisite craftsmanship of cheongsam, such as 18 inlays, various embroidery techniques, and modern fashion elements, in a very reasonable and ingenious design at the same time."
