The "China element" is overwhelming.
Green and pink, you don't need bright sunshine, you can feel radiant vitality at any time; Lace, pearls and close-fitting tailoring, which are inexhaustible, are full of magnificent flyovers; Old-color jeans are mixed with other materials, and after romantic and exquisite tailoring, they look very special ... Designer Liang Zi told reporters that in addition to the classic black and white color system, the most striking color system of this year's fashion is bright color, among which green, pink and light blue will be popular, and fresh green or fairy-tale bright colors with budding buds are believed to fully show the charm of the wearer. In terms of fashion style, Liang Zi believes that retro trend and sports trend will continue to be popular.
Supermodel Jiang Peilin agrees. In her opinion, this year's fashion trend will continue some styles of last year, and bright colors and natural colors will be more popular.
In fact, after watching Fashion Week, you will obviously feel that many brands have put the design emphasis on China elements. Both fabric selection and design style are full of typical China colors. Meng Tao, a designer who won the gold medal in the Haosha Cup China Swimwear Design Competition for her work Charm series, takes red as the main color. "Red is the most China. It represents the ancient civilization and modern vitality of China, and represents vitality and enthusiasm. " Meng Tao explained.
It has become an indisputable fact that the Chinese style is getting worse and worse, but the current Chinese style is not limited to encouraging everyone to wear a stuffy bun and dress up as a Shanghai woman in the 1930s. Traditional embroidery art has penetrated into jacket design, bringing a new sense of the times. Cheongsam has decided to abandon its original elegance, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and develop into miniaturization, posing as a desperate gesture, blending with military uniforms, canvas, jackets, sweaters and jeans. Put a tight red sweater or a short camouflage coat on the big flower cheongsam, or simply cut off the middle of the cheongsam, put on military pants and leather pants, and then push on a pair of simple boots. The result of mashup will not drown out the inherent elegance and sexiness of cheongsam.
Johan Ku, a young designer from Taiwan Province who participated in the competition with her design work "Flower of Ink", told the reporter: "My design was inspired by the art of calligraphy in China, and I hope to convey the ancient charm and cultural spirit of the Chinese nation through the combination of ink calligraphy's printed patterns and the flowing shapes like words." In Johan Ku's view, national elements are the key for China designers to step onto the international fashion stage.
Men's wear began to interpret fashion.
There is no doubt that fashion is a woman's patent. Fashion Week and Fashion Festival, which have lasted for a long time, have clearly told us that it is those gorgeous women's dresses and pretty models that grab people's attention, and men's wear seems to be a supporting role forever.
However, at the just-concluded China International Fashion Week, the changes in men's wear began to be refreshing.
"At Fashion Week, the clothes we saw were better, more practical and closer to consumers than before. Take men's wear as an example, pay more attention to collocation and details. Colors break the usual black, white and gray, and become more jumping. In general, men's wear is changing from business to life, and its style is healthier and more fashionable. " Designer Ji Wenbo said, "Nowadays, clothing pays more attention to functionality and comfort, and natural fabrics such as pure cotton and hemp are increasingly applied to design."
Compared with the ever-changing design style of women's wear, the previous men's wear design is slightly monotonous in both color and style. In contrast, diversified men's wear design is believed to delight many fashionable men. In this season's new men's wear, in addition to paying more attention to appearance and technology, it also broke through neutral colors in color and introduced a lot of bright colors; The details are widely decorated with natural materials such as shells, fruits and wooden buttons, and personalized designs are specially added, such as embroidering your name on buttons and other accessories.
In fact, men's new clothes in autumn and winter this year are generally young, energetic and sunny, but there are also many excellent equipment for mature men. Even a man who has always been steady will always have a naughty personality in his bones. Outside the solemn workplace, men also want to live as carefree as childhood. As a result, these interesting elements are widely used by men's wear designers, making men's wear more approachable. Although fashion designers always prefer dark colors and classic tailoring to show the elegance of men's wear, this year's men's wear is full of fun. The bright colors belonging to the younger generation are infinitely magnified, and pink is very popular. Geometric patterns play an important role in men's wear patterns, especially brightly colored geometric stitching patterns.
A solemn suit is a must for business men, and only a suit can best show men's mature and elegant characteristics. Now the era of only one or two elegant suits has passed, and the new suits launched every season are very rich. Although the popularity of suits is not as obvious as other types of clothing, men's suits in autumn and winter this year are more exquisite in fabrics. Cashmere and corduroy suits are very popular, and dark striped suits are making a comeback. The retro style with flat neckline and angular corners is highly respected.
In addition, men strive to break through the boundaries between work clothes and casual clothes in daily wear, and the durable "one-piece" clothing suitable for many occasions is also deeply loved by men.
Stay away from the "fashion capital"
During the interview, the reporter noticed that although all parties have invested a lot of energy in this fashion week; Although many government officials, including the mayor of Beijing, revealed the beautiful delivery date of building a "fashion capital"; Although you obviously feel the excitement and excitement brought by fashion around the Beijing Hotel at the Fashion Week venue, it is undeniable that both the historic city of Beijing, the economic hub of Shanghai and the clothing capital of Humen are far from the "fashion capital".
Johan Ku once saw London Fashion Week. He told reporters that there will be hundreds of fashion shows during London Fashion Week, with the aim of providing more opportunities for young designers to play and show. There, the ideas and ideals of fashion design are more important, while business seems to be forgotten by most people.
Liu Yuanfeng, vice president of Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, said that internationally renowned fashion week has basically formed its scale and style, which is generally divided into autumn and winter and spring and summer. Every time, famous designers from dozens of countries participate in hundreds of fashion shows, and more than 1000 models participate. In contrast, there are only more than 500 models participating in this fashion week, and it is even harder to find a truly international top supermodel. "Mature fashion week can invite internationally renowned designers to participate. At present, our fashion week has not been done yet, but after several fashion weeks, whether it is work release, forum holding, business negotiation and marketing promotion, it is very close to the world-famous fashion week, but the scale is still slightly smaller. "
Liu Duo, a well-known model who has participated in various international fashion competitions and international and domestic big-name show shows, also believes that domestic fashion design is still in the growth stage, and our design style is still guided by foreign trends in many aspects.
