The five judges expressed their recognition of the finalists and their works, and made unique and wonderful comments one by one

Judge: Li Hongyan

Li Hongyan: the design works of the contestants are very interesting and also have bright spots. In particular, the fabric application and color matching of some works are very surprising. Especially when the stars change, this group of works let me see that the contestants have some new ideas in the fabric design.

Judge: Zheng Rong

Zheng Rong: sportswear is actually a category that needs to empower the body, including trend empowerment, functional empowerment and environmental empowerment. The contestants will integrate these very new fashion technology trends into their works in the design, and many works are well presented. We hope that the Chinese elements in the contestants' works are not only a symbol, but also a spiritual one, which can be combined with the present and futurism through time and space.

Judge: Guo Xiaoye

Guo Xiaoye: for this competition, I think the key words are sports, knitting and national fashion. Now, the design competition is a national and not a fixed one. The essence of the competition is to encourage the players to shape and discover together. The national tide needs each player to provide nutrients continuously. We should not only put the theme in the traditional culture or grand background, but also turn our eyes to the daily life of ordinary people around us. There are a lot of fashion elements worthy of our exploration.

Competition judge: Ambow

Ambo: I'm particularly glad that the contestants on the spot showed full enthusiasm in fashion design. We have initially established a sound design logic, including finding a unique breakthrough point to interpret the theme of the competition. I hope that all the players will keep their curiosity and desire to explore things, adhere to this passion for design, and then focus on the application of some fabrics and the details of design structure. I hope that they will continue to grow based on this competition.

Judge: Wang Dan

Wang Dan: Thank you for bringing a visual feast of fashion design to the scene. I would like to share some experience from the perspective of enterprises. This competition I extracted some key words: from China, sports, fashion. How to use these keywords to combine and present their understanding of clothing and fashion, and let the audience feel it intuitively is the core point. I hope that the contestants can make subtraction in the design. Sometimes more is not necessarily good, and "comprehensive" may not give prominence to the advantages.

The first "Li Ning Cup" China fashion sportswear design competition has come to an end. However, in the pursuit of dreams in the new era, more innovative talents are constantly gathering, and more innovation complex of fashion industry is constantly built. Next, "Li Ning Cup" will continue to strengthen the exploration of excellent design talents, and combine with more industrial forces to create a trend of vigorous development of domestic innovation and design industry.
