Interview With Pang Peng, The First Gold Medal Winner Of The "Hua Fu Cup" Fashion Design Competition

Although it is half a year ago, some people are having a turning point.

December 22, 2010 is the day when the color spinning industry can be included in the annals. The first "Huafu Cup" color fashion design competition final was staged in the 798 Art District of Beijing. 22 designers from various colleges and universities, free designer groups and well-known design rooms presented their finalists to the final stage. The beautiful models dressed in Huafu colored spun fabrics made their debut on the T stage, showing fashion and elegance. "The spring of colored spinning" is opened at this moment.

This is the first color competition fashion design competition in China. It is also the first time for the upstream enterprises of the domestic textile and apparel industry chain to hold a costume design competition. For the traditional textile industry, such a competition may be a new starting point for industrial change. For the organizer Huafu color spinning, the competition has opened up a new brand's voyage, and for those participants, especially those on the list, their life dreams may be suddenly enlightened.

In the final of the day, Pang Peng, the first young designer who came to touch colored spun, finally won the gold medal by virtue of his work "a flash of the wrestle". Half a year later, the fashionable girl who had planned to go abroad for further study chose to come to Huafu to start her new journey of color and textile design.

The gold prize is just an experience.

The first impression that Pang Peng gave was tall, quiet, always smiling, as if the noise around her had nothing to do with her.

"Actually, winning the prize is not very important to me. I feel that my pay has been affirmed by the judges. Participating in the competition is purely for interest, just like last year I just wanted to do that series of things before I entered the competition. Competition is just a process, experience is OK! "

Half a year later, Pang Peng recalled the mood of winning the prize at that time, which was so indifferent that he had a great contrast with his young image. Originally, Pang Peng, who graduated from the Suzhou arts and crafts Academy in 2009, loved art very much. She began painting Chinese painting in her first grade, and later turned to the practice of gouache and sketching, and oil painting was also her favorite hobby. During the University, Pang Peng won the gold medal and silver medal in the CCTV cup casual wear design competition and the China Cup. She had already experienced the first time that she won the prize. However, compared with many previous award-winning experiences, Pang Peng said that the most important result of this award is moving and moving to his consistency. "Although winning the prize is not the first time, it is the most difficult time for me to participate in all kinds of competitions. After the announcement, my first wish is to have a good sleep, because it is really too tired."

Before the contest, Pang Peng knew nothing about colored spinning. She only knew it was a knitting competition. Pang Peng, who is diligent and studious, has developed the habit of collecting materials and pictures with design sense. After entering the competition, she has been plunged into the learning of color spinning knowledge. How to use colored spun yarn in the fabric she needs is the most concern for her.

At this time, the accumulation of daily use came into being, and inspiration came naturally in my mind. As Pang Peng said, "designing clothes is entirely from the expression of inner feelings". Creativity has changed. Turning creativity into works is a long and difficult process. Pang Peng recalled that during the three months of the competition, almost every day was busy from 6 a.m. to 11 at night.
　
The clothes you saw in the competition were all stitched out by Pang Peng. During that time, all of Pang Peng's experience in Xuzhou's hometown was spent on sewing the fabric of the competition. In order to find a suitable excipient, she went to the excipient market in Shanghai to pick up accessories. In Changshu, I saw many people choose the existing flower pattern to weave. Pang Peng thought at that time that since the colored spun yarn could make all kinds of brilliant colors, why did I have to limit a flower pattern. After considering that Pang Peng resolutely decided not to play cards by common sense, he made a flower pattern and woven his own fabric with yarn, and this "stick to the original and natural" strategy also allowed Pang Peng to successfully enter the finals and win the first prize in one stroke.

With dreams to join Huafu

Pang Peng left the famous Qiu Hao studio when he was going abroad to participate in the competition. After winning the gold medal, Pang Peng became interested in colored spinning at the same time. It was precisely because he participated in the fashion design competition of the Huafu cup that Pang Peng became an indissoluble bond with Hua Fu. For the first time, she realized the charm of colored spun yarn, and the brand and market potential of Huafu impressed her deeply. In March of this year, Pang Peng gave up his plan to go abroad for further study, and resolutely chose to join Huafu to become a fashion designer of the clothing design department of Huafu R & D system.

Pang Peng has a dream that he must have his own design room in the future. In Huafu, Pang Peng's current work is mainly to participate in the design of all clothing items, research and development of the exhibition hall design and fabric color matching, etc. in fashion design department, she is equal to a person to assume the responsibilities of a department.

For the next plan, Pang Peng said, "if one day I can really be independent, I hope my design can play a role in guiding the design of clothing companies, but this is a long-term accumulation process. At present, only 2% of the fabric on the market is used for colored spun yarn, if we can use it to design more beautiful clothes, then colored spun yarn can be accepted by more consumers and designers.

Pang Peng has been thinking about how to integrate colored spun yarn into costume design. First of all, from the beginning of color, the process of color matching is a tedious process, and the completion of a garment design is constantly circulating in color, fabric and production. But after many rounds of deliberation and adjustment, the fabric quality and the unique style are the most desired results.

Speaking of last year's first big competition, Pang Peng thought that the first competition was mainly a continuation of the past costume competition practice. All the players wanted their clothes to play the biggest effect, so the contestants chose their own style. At present, the high-grade colors on the market are all high grade grey, while the colored spun yarn embodies various bright colors. The competition lets designers know that they can use colored spun yarn to make the fabric they want, and the past competitors can only choose ready-made fabrics from the market.

For the upcoming second Huafu cup fashion design competition, Pang Peng said he will play the role of service in the new competition. He will guide the contestants in other ways through his own experience, provide services for them, and strive to make some breakthroughs in the color, so as to make the bright colors complete.

Predestined colored spun yarn with trend trend

"Now the European and American clothing design uses the colored spinning to have more, the domestic mainly manifests in the hemp gray system. Other colors are rarely used. This is mainly due to the habit of domestic dressing and the low cost of linen grey system, but it will definitely form a huge industrial chain in the future. Pang Peng is quite confident about the future of colored spinning.

"Colored spun yarn is closer to nature and more environmentally friendly. It can not only provide services for clothing, but also provide services for the home textile industry. This is an area that can be explored in the future. As we all know, people with good taste are still concerned about whether their home textile products are close to nature, fashion and environmental protection. Japan has a brand called Muji, it is a concept store, not only integrated clothing, daily necessities, cosmetics, food and so on, which is the main trend of design. People who have done the design know that the products of this brand are very environmentally friendly and close to nature, which is the first choice for the future consumers, and the color spinning will have this trait, "Pang Peng analyses it.

"At present, color spinning accounts for only 2% of the total market share. The reason is that people do not know enough about color spun yarn, especially when some famous designers do not know enough about colored spun yarn, designers do not use colored spinning to design clothes, and how consumers know the clothes made of colored spun yarn." Pang Peng thinks, "for Hua Fu, if we can contact some famous designers in China, let more designers know about colored spun yarn, and apply colored spinning to clothing design, future colored spun yarn will form a new market positioning."

Pang Peng said that last year's entries were mainly women's clothing, and hoped that this year there might be a breakthrough in this area. Men's clothing, women's wear and children's clothing will be more colorful. For example, children's clothing will make the colors brighter. If the children's clothing market can achieve some effect, then the colored spun yarn will form another new buying group. The market is immeasurable.

There are so many opinions on the characteristics and development space of colored spinning. Pang Peng positioned himself as a high-end design route. The strong sense of haziness, changeable color sense and style positioning decided that the design process needs constant deliberation. This is the inevitable process of high-end design. "To use clothing to reflect the texture effect, I must constantly change roles, consider the colored spinning from the perspective of clothing, and consider clothing from the perspective of colored spinning."

The growth of a fashion designer is not simple, and becoming a good fashion designer is even more simple. But young Pang Peng is full of confidence. "I am young, I can learn, and I can create unlimited. The future of colored spun yarn is beyond doubt. If we stick to our design road and direction, we will show our emotions in design, and there will be unexpected gains.

Dreams are getting closer and closer because of their efforts. And most importantly, she is in the same direction as the trend of color spinning, and is the leader of color spinning fashion.
