Find creativity from ten thousand posters

In January this year, Zhang Lichuan, a teacher from the School of Art and Design of Shenzhen University, received a special task to design a unique set of clothes for each guide who guides athletes to the Universiade. It is required to break through the tradition, not to use traditional styles such as cheongsam, and seek inspiration from more than 10000 posters of "Blessing Shenzhen Universiade" collected from college students around the world to create reflect The internationalization, youth and fashion of the Universiade imply that the Universiade is viewed from the perspective of the world, university and sports.

Time is tight and the task is heavy. Zhang Lichuan led more than a dozen students, including Wen Xiaoang, Huang Xiaoxia, Huang Qiureng, Sun Xuehong, to start a half year hard design. Teacher Zhang told the reporter that all the creative inspiration must come from tens of thousands of posters. How to absorb the elements and use the language of clothing to reflect it is a re creation again and again. The study of posters became their primary work.

Since March, their team has collided with the opening ceremony director team once a week. After brainstorming and staying up late for revision, they finally determined that the clothes are short and fashionable. The clothes designed have strong stereoscopic sense, rich changes and colorful appearance.

Environmental friendly materials, all recyclable

Zhang Lichuan introduced that all designs must reflect the concept of environmental protection, clothing It is made of natural environment-friendly hemp and environment-friendly low-carbon paper materials. "The materials of clothing, including accessories, can be recycled after the performance, which will not bring any pressure and damage to our earth. The clothing can be folded into a plane for hanging when displaying by using the principle of origami. When the human body is dressed, it can become three-dimensional to meet various basic movements of the human body."

Zhang Lichuan told the reporter that in terms of the choice of fabrics and accessories, they insisted on focusing on environment-friendly cotton and linen, and the fabrics became strong after special treatment, which made them appear exaggerated and strong in design. These natural fibers and many auxiliary materials can be recycled and reused.

She revealed that in order to reflect the environmental protection, their original design was to make clothes with paper, but the paper was easy to rot, and eventually changed to natural fabrics. How many times such subversion and modification occurred in the whole design!

Different colors of clothing on five continents

The overall design scheme is named Yuedong, and the clothing is divided into five series on five continents.

The theme of the red series is Sunshine, which is a series with Asia as the main source of inspiration; The theme of the blue series is Water, which is mainly inspired by Europe; The theme of the green series is "Land", which is mainly inspired by the Americas; The theme of the yellow series is "Joy · Action", with Africa as the main source of inspiration; There is also a set of colorless series, the theme of which is Air. This series takes Oceania as the main source of inspiration, and selects the parts of posters collected around the world that have no color tone as the main patterns of clothing, or the use of patterns is more subtle, forming the basic color system of this series.

On June 18 this year, all designs were finally finalized. When the clothes came out, Zhang Lichuan told the reporter that she went to the scene during the rehearsal and was very excited to see the gorgeous guide's clothes, which fully reflected the original intention of the design. She revealed that in fact, their design was more than that, and the final 152 sets of clothing were selected again from more than 200 sets of clothing produced. Each set of clothing was unique, with only one style.

When I saw my works appear at the opening ceremony of the Universiade open She and her classmates were very excited about one of the "different highlights". "The college students' event, which is designed by the college students themselves, is particularly meaningful in itself, so our students feel it is worth staying up for many nights during the design, which is a rare experience!" Zhang Lichuan said.
