MODEL ALERT : HE CONG

Who is He Cong?

A familiar Asian face I kept noticing as I was scrolling through brand after brand’s runways, was the uniquely cute He Cong. According to The Fashion Spot, the China doll walked the most shows for any model of colour last year, during autumn/winter 17. While many designers and agents still prefer using mainly white models for catwalks, He Cong was definitely one of the stunning Asian faces that have helped lead a movement in encouraging to feature more colored people in catwalks.

POLYU MA FASHION SHOW 2018 PT. 2

第一部份繼續–>

當晚有太多太多系列了,我也實在不能記得全部同學的作品。但值得一提是他們用的布料很特別,我想應該不是在外面買的。其中一件以拉鍊連接兩件長袍的設計很是有趣。兩色水彩暈染長袍同時走到台上,氣勢一時無兩。這是Shawn的The Unbearable Lightness of Being。另一個系列是Jessica的The Little Emperors。在後台時見到這條長粉紅花海裙擺,就特別喜歡。花瓣和皮褸可以說是一剛一弱的搭配,有著互補之用。

在台上播放的介紹短片中可以感受到同學之間的感情和友誼,也感受到老師對學生的期盼和付出。繼續加油!

Too many collections to remember by name, but all had great fabric selection. I think all of these fabrics were made by the students. I do remember a collection inspired by Chinese ink paintings. Two long gowns attach with a zip made one piece. When the two models came out, they separated on the stage to become two little paintings. It is The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Shawn. Another collection I loved included a long pink floral gown with red leather jacket. Silk and leather was an interesting combination, a difference between soft and strong. This is The Little Emperors by Jessica.

Although the show was a bit long, you could sense the camaraderie and love. Keep it up!!

POLYU MA FASHION SHOW 2018 PT. 1

理工大學服裝及紡織品設計文學碩士的畢業時裝表演!當日意想不到的是,今次表演的台前幕後大部分工作都由同學自己擔任。門口當公關的同學有條理地安排所有嘉賓拍照和進場。對同學來說肯定是個難忘的經驗。而今次表演除了展示同學們的畢業作品以外,也展出了他們早前和愛沙尼亞一藝術學校合作創造的扇子系列。以中國傳統木扇頁作材料,打造一個個匠心獨運的造型。沿著這些作品一路走入去就是表演場地了。

Hard to believe this show was organized by the POLYU MA graduate students. The exhibition, cocktail party, and the show itself… I believe this will be a unforgettable experience for them. In addition to showing the graduation collection created by the students, the event also exhibited the Chinese fans collection created earlier this year in cooperation with the Estonian Art School. Using traditional Chinese wooden fans as materials and create a unique pieces.
