Zhao Huizhou Declassified New Suit: Designer'S 8000 Hours

The spirit of the times and the integration of industrial chain

In mid December 2013, Zhao Huizhou received an invitation from the China Fashion Designers Association, inviting her to compete with other 400 independent designers, brand designers, women's designers and so on to compete for the APEC costume designer's competition.

At the beginning of his design, Zhao Huizhou thought about the relationship between China's comprehensive national strength and clothing in 2014 when APEC and Shanghai held APEC in 2001.

"In 2001, China is in a period of rapid economic development. It is urgent to prove itself with something with strong national symbols.

The Tang costume at that time carried the artistic conception of Chinese culture development. It can be said to be a window to show the social and cultural development and spiritual outlook of China in those years.

With the rapid growth of China's national strength and the growing resources of Chinese clothing brands and Chinese designers, 2014

Clothing obviously needs the internationalization way of national elements to express, to highlight the country's temperament and style.

How to integrate the elements of national tradition, national demeanor, leader temperament and Oriental elements into a piece of clothing to carry and convey the Chinese APEC temperament? Zhao Huizhou feels that to show the APEC temperament through clothing, we must innovate in costume design and element use. We must express the temperament of both history and modernity, both ethnic and international, with both the leader's temperament and the demeanor of the people.

For this design and sample production, Zhao Huizhou told reporters that when considering the climate of APEC during the meeting, clothing needs to be light and warm, so it has developed wool and silk blended fabrics. The selection of colors is mainly based on plain and elegant colors, such as traditional Tibetan blue, peony red and light apricot. In the profile design, the most popular design of minimalist and large profile is adopted, which is not only simple and atmospheric, but also has good tolerance to different shapes.

Seamlessly processing techniques such as sewing thread.

In Zhao Huizhou's view, fashion designers should be the integrators of the whole industry chain. "Behind us is the most professional textile research and development organization and the best textile enterprises in China. Without their contributions, designers will not be successful."

Together with a number of top domestic fabric companies in the China fashion fabric Innovation Alliance under the China Textile Information Center and the national textile product development center, she integrated the innovative force of the entire Chinese textile industry, and developed fabrics for the characteristics of APEC leaders, hoping to display not only Chinese traditional culture but also the aesthetic meaning and values of Chinese style dress in an international perspective.

Time is spelled out.

When designing the manuscript, Zhao Huizhou couldn't sleep all night. On the one hand, the time was tight. On the one hand, the design was exciting. "Even during the Spring Festival holiday, our design team did not take a vacation. This is a sense of mission".

Soon, in a short period of time, Zhao Huizhou designed the first batch of manuscripts. After sending them up, they soon came out, and Zhao Huizhou successfully entered the second round.

。

The second round of competition is the selection of sample clothing.

At this time, Zhao Huizhou did not know that he would take charge of the first lady's fashion design in the future. The sample clothes included the sample of male leaders, female leaders and first ladies. When it comes to the feeling of making clothes, Zhao Huizhou sighed: "fortunately, when we first started designing, we took into account the fabric factors."

At this time, Zhao Huizhou is confident that he can become a APEC fashion designer. "Before designing, he will consider who he is designing for."

This is Zhao Huizhou's consistent design style.

After considering who is designed, Zhao Huizhou will consider the overall style, and then consider the fabric and details.

As one of the top 10 fashion designers in China, Zhao Huizhou has mature experience in women's clothing design.

After the second batch of more than 10 sets of clothes were picked up, it soon came to the day of the third batch of sample clothes and the fourth batch of sample clothes. Zhao Huizhou's first lady sample made of silk fabric and silk wool fabric was favored by the organizing committee.

Read the first lady's APEC temperament

"Actually, I designed the sample for the first lady by visual inspection."

Zhao Huizhou laughed.

This custom design will not have a practical attempt at all, and there will be discrepancy in the measurement methods in different countries. There will be errors in the size estimation by visual measurement.

The uncertainty of size is a test for fashion designers and sample makers.

"Every first lady is brilliant, and every first lady is" each has its own beauty ".

In an interview with Shenzhen business daily, Zhao Huizhou said she also looked forward to the first lady's choice of which dress to wear.

"I have designed several styles, with long money and short money, depending on the first lady's choice."

Zhao Huizhou said, finally, which clothes to wear, of course, is decided by the first lady herself.

In terms of the use of elements, APEC clothing should not only realize the modern expression of traditional elements, but also reflect the integration of leader temperament and national temperament.

Zhao Huizhou, taking the dress of our first lady Peng Liyuan as an example, said: "many of the costumes with oriental and ethnic elements in her clothing are highly valued in the international community, which not only represents the national understanding of Oriental temperament, but also is considered by the international community to be the representative of Oriental elegant women."

While designing the dress for the first lady of the APEC, Zhao Huizhou focused on integrating the national elements and integrating and innovating elements through the modern and international design methods and considering the different ethnic cultural backgrounds and personal preferences of the "wife group", so that the wives have their own personality and their own unique beauty to reflect the beauty of different "first ladies".

"Your temperament can actually be read."

Zhao Huizhou founded EACHWAY Yi Hui brand for 17 years, and has been committed to the shaping of elegant women, trying to change life with design.

The APEC temperament of 2014 is the best answer for Zhao Huizhou's 17 years of temperament journey.
