The New Comer Appeared In The Casual Wear Design Competition

The theme of environmental protection under Lin Jieqi's profound reflection
    
"When you do something wholeheartedly, it will always bring you surprises," said Lin Jieqi, and this competition is the best proof. She came from the third year of Shanghai Design Institute of China Academy of Fine Arts and won the first place in the eastern final of the casual wear design competition. Unlike those who aspire to become designers since childhood, Jieqi said that she liked painting at first, and then chose the major of fashion design when she was admitted to college. "My interest in painting led me to the road of clothing," she said with a smile.


In the face of the overall design theme "Green Motion" given by this competition, many contestants have chosen similar environmental protection themes, and some even simply set their own design theme on "Green Motion", while Lin Jieqi chose a name for his works that literally seems to have nothing to do with environmental protection - The Jellyfish's Temptation, It sounds mysterious. But in fact, this is exactly the mystery. "As you said at the beginning, my works are not like other competitors. It can be seen at a glance that they are related to environmental protection. Indeed, I don't think it is necessary to use green to reflect the theme of green movement. I think it is possible to compare my achromatic system to trigger the so-called color system of green movement." Lin Jieqi's works are the best practice, The whole costume is in a bionic mode and unfolds around jellyfish, because she thinks that the floating feeling of jellyfish can also remind her of a vigorous upward spirit. "I take folds as the design element. There are more grey cotton coats, which means a kind of damage to the environment, leaving a pimple. The shape is bionic, and the fabric also uses hemp and chemical fiber contrast." Unlike those contestants who simply use color and environment-friendly materials to express fashion, Lin Jieqi's expression is more bold, but also more touching on the essence of "green movement", A reflection on human behavior. This kind of reflection came from a college design student with almost no social experience, which has to be appreciated. In Lin Jieqi's opinion, the best fashion design is both artistic and practical!
   
Zhang Youchuan's avant-garde slightly weird design style
   
Zhang Youchuan, a girl from Chongqing, is the third place winner in the eastern competition area. She is currently a senior student of Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology. The "cunning" girl set her theme as "Like earth, Like me!" at the beginning It is difficult to assume that people's love for the earth is equal to their love for themselves. Of course, this is a joke. In fact, Zhang Youchuan hopes to call on everyone to love the earth with the theme of environmental protection.
   
Zhang Youchuan's inspiration comes from female explorers. "I want to show their brave spirit in my design. I mainly use the gradual change of the earth color system, as well as some natural fabrics." She said that she is also an adventurer and intends to practice in the future. She made no secret of her love for fashion design. "I've loved fashion design since childhood, and my dream has always been to become a fashion designer." When she was only three or four years old, Youchuan was a very special child, "Other children like cartoons very much, but I don't like them. I like foreign movies at that time. I think foreign girls are very good-looking, and their clothes are also beautiful. Then I will often draw them and design clothes for them." Zhang Youchuan didn't really come into contact with professional fashion design until he went to college. However, the fashion design never stopped calling her. "I like Alexander McQueen best. After I went to college, I set myself the goal of going to England to see him one day, but he is no longer here. I am very sad." This will make Youchuan a little regretful, but it will not hurt her playful and happy personality, Even the event of winning the competition is "unimportant" to her. "I just participate in the competition for fun and fun, but the result is unimportant." The fun loving and cheerful girl claims to have many hobbies, such as listening to English songs, watching foreign movies, fashion magazines, singing, dancing, traveling, painting, and performing. Even fantasy is one of them, To sum up, "I don't seem to like anything in particular". Now a senior, she is writing her resume recently. After all, her dream is to be realized in reality. "At first, I may train myself in a clothing company, and then of course I hope to create my own brand, but that is too far away from me. If it can be realized, I hope that my slightly strange style of avant-garde can be accepted by everyone."
