Designer Xie Feng
YOKA: your last season of design can be said to be the memory of past years (670 890 elements have even), this year you'll show us what is a design?
Xie Feng: the theme of our fashion show spring/summer 2014 is "pure", my inspiration comes mainly from the Dongba culture. I went to Yunnan in the design of Eastern area, collecting folk songs, Dongba this far away from the metropolis of the pure life, gave me a lot of inspiration. Dongba paper, clean, transparent, this time we use a lot of transparent materials, make clothes feel very light, simple, we live in a complex metropolis, I hope to use clothing to express such as the Dongba language simple and pure life.

YOKA: I think many of your designs tell you that Chinese elements are not just patterns. Talk about how you "Chinese elements" and "modern fashion" combine to express it.
Xie Feng: a lot of our aesthetic and emotion are associated with this land with China firmly. Although, sometimes we may forget what Chinese elements, but we bleed the Chinese blood, my concept is the introverted Chinese culture, the traditional doctrine of expressions to express to the world more beautiful. Chinese people's aesthetic of Europe there is a big difference, get rid of China's unique design element, as I show that crop, neckline, armhole expression, Dongba paper this year and last year's Miao embroidery is very Chinese. Last cohesion of this language is primarily cultural form of expression.
More direct expression of human body in Europe, while we Chinese are more expressive, more reserved, more imagination.
YOKA: you are the first Chinese designer of the fashion week in Paris, a show for you and what the Chinese design?
Xie Feng: we've been doing 6 shows in Paris, in 2006 we boarded at Paris fashion week for the first time to the world, and China is a big shock. Many young designers and design began to pay attention to the world, focus Paris fashion week, designers a boost to China, China is developing very fast. 06 you don't know much about Paris fashion week, when foreigners not familiar with Chinese design, many foreign media questioned "China Designer? "。 After the show, the liberation of Paris, the New York Times posted are a big part of "China embarked on the red carpet", China began to showcase our design in Europe, in recent years, young designers are surging. Chinese designs to the world, China China is the world of the future.

YOKA: home fashion market, you feel, and what disparity in China?
Xie Feng: I think from an industrial model and point of view, I think China now is a relatively piecemeal fashion market, we are now of the magazine industry, clothing industry, including fashion week show this industry, we have evolved and do not form a system. For example, this Milan fashion week held Italy company, and that he has a large number of media, fashion industry, his whole extension and integration of the fashion industry is Italy fashion into the world very important link.
YOKA: Giffen consumers is what?
Xie Feng: we are mainly for professional women to create fashion, Giffen's consumers are well educated, successful women, Kat we kind of low-key restraint design, very implicit expression is more suitable for this kind of intellectual women.
YOKA: talk about you and Li yapeng's cooperation.
Xie Feng: Geffen the show's theme is "pure", we want to change people's Outlook on life now, air, soil, pollution of the rivers have a great relationship with our way of life is. Dongba who attaches great importance to a heritage, and we are fast paced, fast fashion has caused a lot of pollution to our environment, the way nature is a very big damage. We promote a simple and lasting way, like in Dongba culture of Dongba paper, Dongba paper has a very long history, fabric will be brittle insect bites, but Dongba paper No, Millennium does not rot. Therefore, our cooperation and Li yapeng launched COART Asian Youth Foundation, beam River in Yunnan will be a dance to show the way of Dongba paper fashion, there will be Hong Kong dancer He Qiwo and with other dancers to show.
YOKA: your ideal lifestyle.
Xie Feng: my lifestyle is very simple, from clothing, I admired a pair of jeans and a white shirt. The two things are permanent and fashion, within our profession there is "can you wear jeans will tell the men accept fashion." Not constantly wearing new clothes is fashion, everyone dressed to have their own understanding of a fashion, simple fashion.
