Chapter 244: That girl gave me a bouquet of flowers
The group exhibition is held in the evening, mainly rehearsals during the day, and the graduation show officially begins at 7 o'clock in the evening.
In addition to the members of the Yanfu exchange group, most of the audience are students from Shih Chien University's School of Design, and of course, visitors from outside can also buy tickets to enter the show.
The reason why you need to buy tickets is to limit the number of people, just like other art exhibitions and photography exhibitions, you also need to buy tickets.
But it's not expensive, that is, one or two thousand New Taiwan dollars, if you are really interested and want to enter the show to watch the show, you can afford this money.
For many tourists, this is also a novel experience, not all tourists are fashion lovers, and not all tourists have the opportunity to go to fashion week to watch the show, just come to Taipei to travel, and then meet here there is a graduation show, there will indeed be interested tourists.
Especially after learning that it was a joint exhibition between Yanfu students and Shih Chien University, many tourists from the mainland were willing to pay for tickets.
To the surprise of a group of students.
Before you can become a famous designer, it is basically impossible to have someone pay for their work show, so for many people, in this life, it is estimated that there is only one chance that someone is willing to pay to watch their work show.
In the fashion industry, few people are able to mix up.
Most of them are unknown industry practitioners, and if they want to become famous fashion designers, it is impossible to mix for decades, even if they mix for decades, they still need to rely on luck.
Not everyone can become famous at a young age like Wang Daren.
Besides, the reason why the other party was able to become famous was also because he was able to meet nobles.
If it weren't for Prada's female devil Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine in the United States, it would not be easy for the other party to be so young and mix up in the fashion industry.
Lin Zhengrong does not deny that in the next few decades, there will definitely be people who will become famous designers among the students of the two schools, but this probability is definitely not large.
If he really wants to say that there is none, then he will slap himself in the face, and do not forget that his own goal is to create his own designer brand in the near future.
When the time comes, it is natural to have your own brand show.
But now, he is still a supporting role.
It is difficult for Lin Zhengrong to be the protagonist of this kind of activity between colleges and universities, but it is impossible to be ignored by others.
Don't say that he and Chestnut are each anti-catwalk models, just his work itself cannot be ignored.
The theme of this group exhibition is "Under the Skin".
The whole theme is very vivid to describe this joint exhibition, and it is also in line with the theme of the costumes of both sides.
Clothing, not clothes, but it can also be understood to become another layer of skin outside the human body, and clothes themselves are the second skin of the human body, so some people describe underwear as a woman's second intimate skin.
Although it is a joint exhibition in Taipei, the leadership specifications of Yanfu are not small, although the dean Zhang Yaojie did not come, but the vice dean Zhao Yuanzheng personally led the team, of course, this is the home of Shih Chien University, and their president will definitely not be absent.
Not only did the principal come, but so did the school manager.
Don't forget that Shih Chien University is a private school, and it's not surprising to have a chairman.
The president is here, the vice president is definitely indispensable, and naturally, the dean of the School of Design and the head of the fashion design department will definitely come too.
On Yanfu's side, the dean of the second-level college where the clothing major is located must also come in person, and the head of the department will definitely not be absent.
The members of the entire Yanfu Youth Talent Exchange Group are all absent.
This is not the first time that the whole joint exhibition has been held, so both parties are already full of experience, and the whole process is carried out in an orderly manner.
A total of 33 sets of outstanding graduation works were selected to go to Taiwan to perform on the same stage as the 30 sets of graduates of Shihsen University.
There is also a reason why there are thirty-three sets of swallow clothes, and there are thirty groups here in practice.
On the Yanfu side, the graduates completed the design independently, while on the Shih Chien University side, group design is allowed, that is, the whole group ranges from two to three.
So from this point, it can be seen that the number of sets on the Yanfu side is a bit large, but the number of people is not large, not only is it not much, but it is a little small.
Of course, the number of students enrolled in Yanfu's service major is definitely more than that of Shihin University's service department, after all, the two schools are not the same size in terms of service majors, but here Shih's home school, they send out more graduates, which is not an incredible thing.
In fact, there are also differences in the professional settings of Yanfu and Shih Chien University.
Shih Chien University will be more free in the design of the major, and there is no distinction between the direction of the entire clothing major, that is, there is no so-called knitting class, sports class, fashion class, and no so-called experimental class.
Therefore, in this aspect, Shih Chien University students will learn more comprehensively, which is somewhat similar to the experimental class, and will have more room for management and design ideas related to the theme.
Of course, there are no shortcomings, and it is relatively difficult to integrate resources and refine majors, and it is more necessary to take the initiative to study deeply.
Lin Zhengrong's attention is more on Shih Chien University.
He has seen too many works of Yanfu students, and he has no curiosity.
So the so-called curiosity is on the side of Shih Chien University.
Of course, this curiosity will not be too strong, mainly because during the previous rehearsal, everything that should have been seen has been almost watched.
Whether it is the design theme and style of the work, it has been seen at a glance.
There are still some differences in the design styles of the two places.
Although they are both Chinese style, the understanding of Chinese style in the two places is definitely not the same, even if it is Chinese red, the understanding of both sides is too different, and this side of Taiwan pays more attention to tradition, so the integration of this traditional culture in terms of design is very good, and there are indeed a lot of places that make Lin Zhengrong's eyes shine.
It's like when he was in the finals of the Hanbo Award before, he met a Taiwanese contestant who integrated the famous paintings from the Taipei Museum's collection into it.
Therefore, Chinese painting belongs to Chinese elements, but this element is indeed unique to Taiwan, and it is impossible for mainland students to integrate Taiwan's elements into their works.
What is national is the world.
Similarly, the elements of the ethnic minorities in the Taiwan region, which are also classified as elements of the Chinese nation, can also be called Chinese style.
Therefore, Taiwanese students really integrate the cultural elements of their ethnic minority clothing into their design works, just like students from the Gaoshan ethnic group and students from the Ami ethnic group really integrate their ethnic costumes into their design works.
Is it still possible to restrict people from making such attempts?
It is impossible to limit.
Because inspiration comes from life, the so-called life, the most intuitive understanding, is the place where you have lived.
If the students themselves are ethnic minorities, they have no problem integrating elements of their national costumes into their fashion design.
Famous designers in Europe and the United States like to do this, and they like to integrate some national totems into their design works when they have nothing to do, and there is no problem at all.
Design itself is the embodiment of a new way of life. The more society develops, the better people's lives are, the more design is needed.
Innovative design is an indispensable element of contemporary life, and it is also true worldwide.
In some European and American countries, their designs are very advanced, which is in line with social progress, culture and technological development.
As a designer, first of all, you should need a very solid professional foundation and professional theory, which includes two aspects, one is the theoretical foundation, the other is the design foundation, and then there is the aesthetic vision, which is very important.
Of course, there is a long-term attention to the surrounding things, no perseverance and patience, it must not be done well, and the designer's vision should be wide, because the design is comprehensive, so the vision includes international, domestic, Chinese and foreign ancient and modern, to understand, from all levels to absorb the inspiration of design, and constantly enrich new design works, in short, designers need all aspects of the foundation and vision.
So it's not easy to become a good designer.
Practical students have the advantages of practice, and the same is true for Yanfu.
They are also excellent.
It is precisely for this reason that most of the graduates sent by the Fashion Institute to participate in the joint exhibition are from the experimental class.
is that compared with other classes, the students in the experimental class are more powerful, basically the students who have won awards have been set up before, and the experimental class accounts for most of them, whether it is the experimental class 1 where Li Mingzhe is or the experimental class 2 where Lin Zhengrong is located.
Of course, the biggest winner must be the second experimental class, who made this Lin Zhengrong's class.
He was a gold medal player, and he killed the entire second class in seconds.
Not only will there be a gold medal in the Fashion Institute's grand show, but this joint exhibition will also be awarded.
The awards are similar to those of the previous show, all of which are gold, silver, bronze and other excellent awards.
In fact, there is no suspense for Lin Zhengrong or the Yanfu delegation.
Lin Zhengrong's works have won the gold medal in the finals of the Hanbo Awards, if the two universities can't win the gold medal in the joint exhibition, it will not be tolerated.
The judges of the group exhibition are not blind, and there is no need for them to overturn the conclusions of the judges of the Hanbo Award, so Lin Zhengrong's gold award is beyond doubt, and in addition, the suspense of the silver award is not great.
Chestnut is certainly one of the two Silver Awards.
In this way, Shih Chien University will definitely produce a silver award winner.
Whether it's egalitarianism or taking care of the face of the hosts, Shih Chien University is sure to have a student win a Silver Award.
And the silver award winner on the practice side is unexpected and reasonable, it is Shen Manni.
Both of them are class leaders, and they are both class leaders of Lin Zhengrong's class, and they are both women.
If you have to say anything different, it is that the height difference between the two standing on the stage is a bit big, even if Shen Manni is already wearing high heels, she is still much shorter than Chestnut, the reason is very simple, Chestnut also wears high heels.
Who made her a catwalk model today?
When they were on the show before, apart from the people who knew them, the two of them were not very conspicuous on the runway.
Because many students don't know them, they don't know whether they belong to the play ticket on stage, after all, it is not the same as the home field of Yanfu, but when they take the stage to receive the award again, this abruptness is clearly reflected.
Who makes them tall enough to stand out from the crowd, in addition to this, their clothing is also a big feature.
Whether it was Li Li or Lin Zhengrong, they didn't have time to change their clothes and took the stage to accept the award, which was very different from other students.
The students who received the awards on the stage, the two of them are the most different, this difference, plus the fact that they are the winners of the gold and silver awards, the uniqueness is even more obvious.
Those who didn't know the situation thought that they were wearing dresses to the stage to accept the award.
In this way, Shen Manni's aura weakened a lot.
Even if she is one of the opening hosts of the joint exhibition, she is also wearing a dress, but standing next to Lin Zhengrong and Li Li, everyone subconsciously regards her as a village companion.
This can be judged from Shen Manni's resentful gaze.
There are two silver awards, and of course two bronze awards.
Among them is Han Bailing, and the other is a girl from Taiwan.
It seems that except for Lin Zhengrong, no other boy can win gold, silver and bronze awards.
In addition, other individual awards and excellence awards were also shared equally among other students.
In this group exhibition, winning awards is not the main purpose.
It is more of a cross-strait exchange trend, and the students interpret the design and understanding of fashion by contemporary college students on both sides of the strait with different perspectives and design concepts.
After the end of the group exhibition, the most lively thing was not Yanfu, but the graduates of Shih Chien University.
Because this is their graduation show, after the end of the group exhibition, there is a more special link for them.
At the special curtain call ceremony for the graduates of Shih Chien University, many relatives and friends of the designers came to the stage to congratulate the designers with gifts.
Relatives and friends came to the stage to send flowers.
This scene is unimaginable in Yanfu.
So the students in Yanfu are somewhat envious.
Everyone wants to see their best scenes to their relatives and friends, and looks forward to their blessings.
So in this regard, Lin Zhengrong feels that the humanistic care on this side will be more important.
There is no way to do this, because the education system between the mainland and Taiwan is not quite the same.
In the mainland, it is too difficult to invite relatives and friends to watch the graduation show of a university.
It is indeed not easy to travel thousands of miles from my hometown to Yanfu just to watch the graduation show.
In comparison, it is much easier for a place as small as Taiwan.
Of course, this is also a tradition.
It's like relatives and friends will come to the scene during the graduation season, send blessings, and then take photos with the graduates, which is not realistic in mainland universities.
Of course, it was not this that was the excitement of the whole link, but when Shen Manni suddenly gave Lin Zhengrong a bouquet of flowers she was holding.
Suddenly, the scene exploded.
