You can often hear the "Chinese style". From Jay Chou's songs to clothing styles, Chinese style has become a highly sought after fashion. Today, I'm going to talk about a Northeast guy who broke into New York Fashion Week with "embroidery". He surprised the world with his wonderful China costume design.
Chinese style represents China's long-standing culture, which is manifested in clothing and especially tests the ability of designers. Every time foreign brands issue a "Chinese style" restriction card during the Spring Festival, they can see their misunderstanding of China culture. However, zhangyan, a post-90s designer, skillfully showed the subtleties of China culture and costume tradition with "embroidery".
This boy from Shenyang has dreamed of becoming a fashion designer since he was a child. From the age of 14, I began to study art and design by myself. At the age of 22, I began to contact embroidery and traditional costumes. At the age of 24, he was invited to New York Fashion Week, and his works were well received. Zhangyan's design combines charm with modern fashion, and then incorporates traditional embroidery skills, which has a national style and is unconventional. It took him 10 years to shine at New York Fashion Week.
What is the beauty of "Chinese style"?
1, a unique oriental classical element

To say that the most beautiful place of Chinese style must be the unique oriental elements. Landscape flowers and birds, like the most familiar images in ink painting, are the representatives of the elegant artistic conception of national style. In zhangyan's design, these elements are skillfully used in embroidery, giving consideration to both classicality and elegance. This oriental charm is very unique compared with western design.
2, a needle and a line of careful carving
Fashion has always been judged in the western aesthetic context, and the high-definition clothing and craftsmanship of foreign brands have always been the highlight. Zhangyan's traditional embroidery is the most representative of China's handicraft skills. There are many kinds of Chinese embroidery with a long history, and the elements of national style carefully carved with one stitch and one thread are lifelike, which is also the unique aesthetic feeling of national style+embroidery.
3. Elegant cultural background

Another striking thing about Guofeng costumes is their smooth and casual tailoring. Without the western design language of three-dimensional tailoring, precise fit and the need to wear curves, the loose line feeling of hanging not only shows a free and easy posture, but also has better comfort. This can also be seen in zhangyan's design, which combines bright and modern silhouette with fashionable charm.
Many people think that fashion on the runway is not everyday. In fact, understanding zhangyan's design is the best way to learn how to dress in a more advanced and elegant way. If you like national clothes, you might as well learn from them.
How to dress "Chinese style" exquisitely without exaggeration?
1, small area+modern elements

Many national customs are actually "pseudo-national customs", which simply accumulate classical elements and are old-fashioned and rustic. It is far more beautiful to use national style patterns in exquisite embroidery techniques than to use large-scale exaggerated printing. The picture shows a set of designs by zhangyan, which combines modern elements to reduce the embroidery area and simply decorate the waist, making it slim and elegant.
2. Elegant color matching is more advanced

Color matching is also a highlight of wearing a good national style. Wear less bright red and green colors, and the elegant national style is more temperament and advanced. No matter what age, such color matching can brighten the skin color, and the fashion can be embellished with small details such as cutting, embroidery and printing. Even if there is no large-scale embroidery in zhangyan's design, simple tailoring and color matching will have an oriental charm.

This color scheme can be more calm and elegant. This dark flower in the picture is one of them. I don't like elegant light colors, and it's worth trying.
3. Don't be too tight and restrained.

Although the dress of Guofeng has a cheongsam-like self-cultivation, it must be accompanied by a split sense of neatness, which is a slightly unique charm in the oriental charm. Therefore, if you want to wear the authentic national charm, it is very important to use the sense of drooping, line and looseness. The three groups of shapes in the picture are all like this. There is no feeling of tension and overexertion, and the curve is just right and more elegant.
The beauty of Chinese style lies more in the cultural background, and zhangyan showed it with exquisite embroidery and tailoring. His designs let the world know how beautiful the Chinese style can be, and let us know more about the aesthetics of the national style and be more proud. The above points can help us avoid the cheap feeling of pseudo-national style in clothing. Try it quickly.
How beautiful the Chinese style is, the northeast guy broke into New York Fashion Week with embroidery, which surprised the whole world.
