Speaking of knitting Design If your mind is only a bead or embroidery tradition, Sweater It means that your version should be upgraded. Pan Yiliang and Deng Hao from China International Fashion Week, to China International Knitwear Expo The designer's corner, and all kinds of knitting design competitions in China, have announced a true knitted design era.

Designers love knitting

This year, when Deng Hao asked for the best women's wear designer in 2011 China International Fashion Week, a reporter asked whether Taiwan designer Pan Yiliang was worried about the title of "knitted Queen". Pan Yiliang said that he didn't care about the title. What she cared about was finding a friend. Perhaps Pan Yiliang has been lonely for a number of years. Deng Hao's appearance has changed the pattern of "high-end customization" in the field of knitting design spire, which is supported by her. Apart from the ingenuity of style and technology, Deng Hao's red and green sprinkles make high-end knitwear more exciting.

In the past few years, designers who have made outstanding achievements in knitting design are few in China. Recently, however, many of the few designers contacted by reporters expressed strong interest in knitting design. Wu Xuewei is one of them.

As a professional designer, Wu Xuewei is keenly aware of the approaching of the era of big knitting. "Now, regardless of men's clothing, women's wear or children's wear, such as windbreaker, evening dress, leather clothing, trousers and other clothing fields, knitted elements are permeated, and knitting technology can be used in all kinds of materials. Even knitted in the field of home textiles, I have bought a set of Muji knitted bedding, which is very comfortable. In recent years, he has also practiced knitting design, such as knitted fabric on leather clothing, 2012/2013 down jacket designed at the moment, some knitted fabrics are knitted, and some knitted and woven stitching methods, which are said to be popular in the market.

In Wu Xuewei's view, woolen sweater and cashmere sweater are the advantages of our country. "Although Japanese yarns are well made, we are rich in raw materials." He said that although in the northern market, some mature enterprises launched products that are more conservative, traditional and similar in color, but many young brands are very fashionable and fashionable. Generally speaking, the design level of our knitwear in style, color and so on is not lagging behind that of Japan and Korea, especially some high-end products. "Many of our businesses and designers are offering products and designs to Italy and France brands." Wu Xuewei also mentioned the rainbow knitting textile in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. The knitted fabrics and garments developed abroad were favored by some foreign brands.

In fact, apart from Wu Xuewei's comprehensive designer who has no boundaries between the various crafts and materials, there are also some full-time professional designers who are keen on knitting and knitting. They have made great progress in recent years. Xie Jiaqi of Shanghai is a representative. Apart from his personal brand "JQUEEN", he also developed knitted fabrics for many domestic brands, and he also worked with the five springs knitting base in Japan. At the two China International Knitting fair, Xie Jiaqi's knitted works, with its unique blend of ancient and modern styles, became a highlight of the exhibition.

More and more knitting brands and industrial clusters launched the design competition, in Wu Xuewei's view, is also an important force in promoting knitted design. Wiseman's Chinese knitting design competition, Jin Lishan's China cashmere design competition, JEANSWEST design competition, including Huafu's color spinning fashion design competition, and so on, let many young designers who have not yet walked out of the campus feel the exquisite design of knitting.

The magnetism of handicraft and creativity

Whether consumption dominates the market or whether the market leads consumption, such as first egg or chicken, is a problem. At present, the popularity of knitting not only benefits from its inherent comfort, but also is closely related to the improvement of the design level, and the demand of the market is inspiring more designers to devote themselves to designing creative works.

Monotonous style and color have suppressed the consumption of knitwear to some extent. Some people have blamed the complexity of the knitting process and the lack of design talents. Nowadays, with the enrichment of raw materials and technology, knitting has gradually entered the ranks of fashion. In terms of raw materials, modle, Tencel, bamboo fiber and other new raw materials emerge in an endless stream, enrich the expression of fabrics, and also expand the designer's train of thought. The production process includes upgrading of the finishing process, and gradually blurred the boundaries between knitting and weaving. As Wu Xuewei said, the knitting machines currently used include circular knitting machines and flat knitting machines. Flat knitting machines are suitable for knitting wool, while knitted fabrics produced by circular knitting machines can be tailored, so the range of use of knitting has been greatly expanded. The innovation of post-processing technology and the diversification of decoration techniques have made knitting come out of monotonous crochet, inlaid beads and embroidery, and can also be rotten, dyed, painted and flocked as woven. With the traditional technology of nail inserting, collage, embroidery and so on, many decorative methods can be selected.

What is more important is the praise of people's sense of work and creativity nowadays, which has always been favored by luxury goods. It has been explained that: "creative design is performed through superb craftsmanship, coupled with good material and technical support, and the success of a successful garment is guaranteed." Knitting is undoubtedly a unique advantage. It has always been called the creation of yarn. Deng Hao's idea is to start with the dyeing of yarns. She stated: "if the yarn is knitted or knitted more or less, there will be different colors. The design can make a big fuss here, and the colors and colors should be nice, and the process is complicated." this is what Deng Haoyuan intends to do. A time-consuming knitted fabric is itself a symbol of quality, so it is not surprising that it will go to the high end.

Some people analyze the reasons why modern people admire handicrafts and creativity, pointing out that the aesthetic fatigue of monotonous clothing under the big industrial production and the yearning for the exquisite and elegant quality life in the past have aroused people's concern about time-consuming handmade products. And the pursuit of rival craft products also expanded from the initial high-end consumers to ordinary consumers, resulting in a huge gap in price and output. Knitting is precisely one of the hottest products in fashion circles driven by retro trend in recent years, just in line with these two conditions. Some experts point out: "only the excellent products that cast the designer's personal qualities and craftsman quality will gain the advantage in the market competition, because special" value "is preserved. This is probably the reason why Pan Yiliang, Deng Hao and others have been successful.

Although a number of excellent designers have been promoting fashion in China's knitting industry, the share of knitwear in the world has been expanding. However, the lack of famous knitted fashion brands still hurts us.
