Yu Xiangqi: No Cultural Core, Then The Beautiful Clothes Are Also Broken.

Western culture has had an impact on Chinese aesthetics.

Today, many designers turn to think: why do I always follow others? Traditional culture is picked up again.

After many years of impetuosity, tradition has become a spiritual return, so that the soul can return to peace.

And clothing is the external expression of this trend of thought.

More and more designers are moving their brand ideas to the classical artistic conception of "Zen", "Tao", "element", "tranquility" and so on.

Some of them may have found souls, but others are just following suit.

People in the fashion world even talked about the saying: "cotton and linen mixed together, are these things that foreigners have played ten years ago?"

Yu Xiangqi, from time to time, has designers to ask her how to design Chinese clothing that is popular in the market.

"On the one hand, Chinese clothing has begun to have a market, but on the other hand, some designers have not found it.

The point of paying.

Every time, Yu Xiangqi will ask these designers first a question: "what kind of lifestyle do you want to import?"

It's the expression of life.

A healthy lifestyle, a healthy aesthetic outlook, and a need for life from the bottom of the heart are finally pformed into outer garments.

Once, a client brought a fabric to Yu Xiangqi and asked with great care, "can you take this custom-made cheongsam?" Yu Xiangqi looked at it, this is the ordinary shirt fabric, but she was very happy to say, "what's wrong?"

She even thought that the customer was wearing this shirt, Qipao, and put it on the outside.

To go to the supermarket or go shopping is a landscape itself.

"Clothing is life oriented.

The highest level of design is not the beauty of the clothes themselves, but the beauty of the people who wear them.

Yu Xiangqi asked rhetorical questions, "is a person dressed in heavy embroidered Qipao full of rude words?"

For today's "new Chinese" craze, Yu Xiangqi feels that he must have some sober thoughts.

"Shanghai people in the past did not worship foreigners.

Any foreign culture to Shanghai will be pformed and innovating. "

Yu Xiangqi said, "Shanghai people combined their local life with foreign culture, and they created the Shanghai style culture.

In its bones, it is also a local thing in Shanghai.

Today's "new Chinese" needs cultural confidence as well.

Don't think that you will be recognized internationally. "

So even though the Chinese design community is enjoying the "return" of traditional elements, Yu Xiangqi believes that what we lack most is "aesthetic education" or "thinking about life style".

"Chinese traditional culture should be in the bones, in truth, goodness and beauty."

Yu Xiangqi said that if the human heart lacks traditional beauty and the way of life is divorced from the true, the good and the beautiful, the outer clothes will be exposed to flaws, not beauty.
