Speaking of Future Fashion...Let's Not Forget Culture

Nowadays young people know less about tradition and culture than in the past. But have we think why it happened?

It is true that the younger generation today is less accustomed to their cultural roots and tradition than their peers were in the past. The reason of this is globalization and convenience of networking, this is neither bad or good, it's just a thing we have to watch out when the younger generation slowly forget about the culture.

“We get inspired by the fancy runway culture and artistic magazine editorial shot a lot, it seems like everything is a trend. Trend is something designers create but it's definitely not something designers should copy from.”

The bride in the pictures was born in Taiwan and married to his husband who's an Asian born in America. The bride tried all the gowns from my evening collection 2018, but there's no doubt, she picked the more cultural gown for her best memory in her life.

MY DESIGN IS MY CULTURE

One of my best elder friend told me "Design from your root and play with it but don't forget about it, one day your audiences will find you."

This particular design is not only a beautiful dress, but also represents the culture that some of us almost forget about it. The graphic from the dress symbolizes blessing and happiness, this is the best surprise I want to give to the one who choose to wear as a designer.

It's an Abundant and Mutual Creativity Between Fashion & Music

The impact of pop musicians on the society and their influence on fashion has been established.

Popular Taiwanese Idol group,SpeXial, performed on 2019 New Year Eve Stage.

The relation between pop music and fashion becomes to something how young people want to follow and it's also the way they accept a new fashion. This important relationship was built from 1920s-1990s society. That brings us a question, is the pop culture the one who's leading the fashion, or is the fashion leading the pop music culture?

Popular Taiwanese Idols, Ming-Jie and Zi-Hong performed on 2019 New Year Concert.

It was a pleasure working with these two amazing young idols with so much idea about their vision. Patent leather has been used a lot in women's fashion lately but the men's fashion, so instead neon color we decided to use color pop patent leather to give the high energy and dramatic performance. When pop music comes to fashion is always fun, it's a reflection of street wear but more dramatic and loud.

It's extremely interesting working with performers on the stage as a costume designer, designing a beautiful garment is no the only thing we have to focus but also the functionality.

Singer-songwriter who will make you clear your mind

Taiwanese-aboriginal singer-songwriter, Cemelesai Pasasauv, released his 2nd album called "Vangav(Skylight)" in 2018, this collection will make the audiences rethink about the life meaning.

If you are looking for something that can clear your mind and grow in your life, Cemelesai's new album is the one for you. Before the album was released, Cemelesai found me to work on his album cover. He sent me the music without lyrics translation, I got so inspired just by the sounds of the melody and that's how I decided to collaborate with him.

“Vangav is a divine place for his aboriginal culture to welcome the newborn and pray for the past one. "

The soundsof his voice is ethereal, the melody of his music is soothing, he uses his music not only to tell a story but also his culture. So, I decided to give him a minimal color palette with some embroidery detail. I used washed linen fabric for the shirt and finished the garment with hand embroidery snake which symbolized the bless in Cemelesai's culture. For the bottom, I used a traditional shape the aboriginal hunters usually wear; it's a combination of pants and skirts.

CREATION COMES FROM PASSION

You have to believe something that you are working on is something you believe. Try to see things in different perspectives, feel it and make it happen. That's the way I connect with my clients.
