Designer:

Yujia, one of the volunteer costume designers for the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympic Games. Its blue-and-white porcelain series will be mainly used in the awarding ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games of the Water Cube.

Bidding process of design works:

In July 2007, the first draft and ready-to-wear works were submitted to the organizer. Including Phoenix Dance Xiangyun Series, Horse Face Pattern Series, Blue and White Porcelain Series, China Red Series and many other series. Among them, the blue and white porcelain series has been well received by many experts because of its integration of Chinese and western cultures.

In August 2007, it entered the re-evaluation. According to the expert review, it was revised, and * * * submitted five series of clothing. Blue and white porcelain series stood out among many works and became the key design works. During this period, the work was revised many times.

From 65438+February 2007 to March 2008, we experienced the selection of renderings and ready-made clothes, and made 30 ready-made clothes, 100 design drafts. Because the stipulated time is very tight, the craft of the work is complex, many steps have to be completed in different places, and processing in other places is time-consuming and laborious, so I often work all night.

Instrument spirit:

Nation, world and fashion run through clothing at three points.

Design concept:

National elements: cheongsam collar and small sleeve are used for modeling-two elements with the most national characteristics in China traditional clothing; In the process, the traditional embroidery method of China based on the random needle embroidery of Suzhou embroidery is adopted, including off-line edge sealing, edge sealing, edge curling and edge embedding; The color is blue-and-white porcelain, with blue flowers on a white background, soft, elegant and gorgeous, which is very eye-catching. At the same time, according to the change of color, some rhinestones are stained on the blue and white, which can not only shine under the light, but also avoid highlighting and covering the pattern.

Western-style features: The outline design of the award dress adopts the classic western style-fishtail skirt. It also shows the graceful and touching characteristics of women.

Fashion sense: the cutting adopts the most popular "vertical cutting" in the world today, and the princess line is combined with the broken seam. The curved model is extremely close-fitting and has a shaping effect.

Design inspiration:

The dress design is inspired by the most classic and representative classical porcelain blue and white porcelain in China. Blue and white are elegant in shape but strong in color, like an elegant Chinese painting with a strong national flavor. Three kinds of dresses, namely, tray hand clothes, guide clothes for guests and athletes, are embroidered with blue and white porcelain on the chest, waist and skirt, forming a series, seeking convergence in change, creating different visual centers, and embodying the graceful posture of oriental women to the fullest.

Creation difficulty:

It is very difficult to integrate the three elements of world, nationality and fashion into an award dress. Because the main style of clothing is cheongsam, many traditional techniques of cheongsam are almost lost. Some key design elements need at least 10 years experience in making cheongsam.
