What Is The Expression Of Chinese Clothing Culture?

Commentator Zhang Jing

I don't really want to talk about Chinese clothes or national clothes at this time.

, Hanfu, Chinese costume and Tang suit...

What is the metropolis of the United States, what is Shanghai Donghua's full moon? What is Zhang Xinyu and Hu Guang Guang on the red carpet of Cannes?

Since last year's APEC, I have been avoiding this topic until recently, I was invited to be the judge of the second China dress design competition.

One of the organizers of the competition is the world clothing association. One of the organizers is the Jiangxi Clothing Institute.

The chairman of the world clothing association is Tu Runhua, and the chairman of Jiangxi Clothing Institute is also Tu run Hua. This shows that this competition has been carrying out the great responsibility of Chinese clothing to the world from the very beginning, and this is exactly what I have been thinking for a long time.

I have to admit that both the evaluation of Chinese clothing and Chinese education can be written as a worrying Yueyang Tower.

Fortunately, Tu Shunqiang, vice president of Jiangxi Clothing Institute, used his family and his father, Tu run Hua, to use "

"And" old tailor ", which made Chinese clothing instantly catch the ground.

Thinking of this March Chinese costume forum, Japanese fashion designer Yamamoto Teruji also said the same thing: "my mother is a tailor, and I am also a tailor."

Yamamoto Teruji believes that Chinese culture should not overly publicize the elements of Chinese elements, and soften some labelled elements. Making clothes must be the effort of fingers. Designers should be low-key and settle down, so as to find the true feeling of your heart.

Yamamoto Teruji gave me the expectation of the current Chinese dress design competition.

Facts have proved that, in this contest, I saw deep grind and heartbeat works, and I saw some overexpression of the concrete symbols of dress culture.

To some extent, the contest became a reality.

A thumbnail of different interpretations of Chinese culture: some designers began to move towards the revival of traditional costumes; some designers began to seek out the philosophical realm of being born; some designers had been expressing themselves in the dust of the world to express their tenderness of Chinese culture.

The cultural and Ideological Expression of costume design has always been a theme that all competitions organizers are always willing to praise. Especially for Chinese costume competitions, if they leave culture and ideology, they seem to be passive water.

This is understandable, but now the expression and judgement of the culture and ideology of fashion design has become a problem of non standardization, and I have only one criterion to judge: good clothes can speak for themselves.

If the culture of your work is not recognized by people, it is not a cultural problem. It must be your way of expression.

So the next question is: how to forge your expression?

I heard the view of a foreign philosopher a few days ago that he believed that the essence of all artistic progress is not an artist but a technological advancement.

Some people take music as an example, behind the music is actually mathematics, that is, the logic of rhythm.

This confirms the saying in another aspect: fashion designer first is a tailor.

This is actually a collective consensus among many foreign designers.

Therefore, regardless of whether there is a fault in Chinese clothing culture, the Chinese culture deeply rooted in our blood has never been far away. Now the dilemma is: what do you use to express Chinese culture?
