Chapter 112: The Costume Designer of Paris
"These players are all Asians in Paris, France, and they are the best Asians in this land, and we have selected them after a lot of waves, and the next thing is their appearance, let us welcome them with warm applause!"
As soon as the host Zhang Hua finished speaking, the other six models in the backstage rushed to appear, they undoubtedly wanted to be the first to walk the runway, but Xi Qing was not in a hurry, although he didn't know how to go on the runway, but if it was really a Tang costume, he felt that he could wear that kind of temperament. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info definitely shows the beauty of his ancestors in this kind of clothing, blooming in Paris, an international fashion metropolis.
The other six models have already walked out, but Xi Qing has not come out of the backstage for a long time, not because Xi Qing does not go out, but because of the Tang costume on Xi Qing's body, in a more strictly speaking, the clear costume will make Xi Qing stunned.
This is not a traditional Tang costume, this Qing costume, the design does not fully express the clothing culture of the Qing Dynasty in China. Xi Qing thought about improving it, so that maybe the Chinese designer in Paris would have a better spring, but for the time being, he could only show it according to this piece first.
"The players from the other six countries have already taken the stage to complete their performances, and below, the Chinese players will be invited to show their Tang costumes, and the Chinese players will be invited to the stage."
"Please come on stage!"
Zhang Hua shouted loudly to the backstage, Xi Qing moved slowly, Zhang Hua understood, because this was his first time participating in the model clothing competition.
But after shouting for five seconds, there was no movement in the background, Zhang Hua was a little impatient, "Chinese players, Chinese players, please!" ”
"Xi Qing, what's wrong, it's time for you to appear, are you stage frightened?"
Seeing that Xi Qing was slow to show his head, Wu Lisa thought he was shy.
Xi Qing heard the call of the front desk, and he couldn't change the costume for the time being, so Xi Qing felt that it was better to finish the performance first.
Holding his head high, wearing this clear suit, Xi Qing walked out.
Xi Qing walked leisurely on the stage in costumes, very retro, very sad, and had his own chic feeling, but it was not suitable for walking on the stage.
And Zhang Hua did his homework on Tang costumes, thinking that China could shine, he introduced while looking at Xi Qing, "The Tang costume worn by this Chinese player, in fact, Tang costume is more appropriate to be called "Qing costume", and the word "Tang costume" is not a very suitable term, it comes from the foreign "Chinatown", so "Tang costume" is the costume of overseas Chinese, which is quite international. “
"Tang costumes absorb the styles and fabrics of Chinese Manchu clothing, while adopting the three-dimensional tailoring of Western-style clothing.
At present, the Tang costume of the Chinese players is evolved from the horse coat of the Qing Dynasty, and its style structure has four major characteristics: one is a stand-up collar, the front center of the jacket is open, and the vertical collar type:
the second is the sleeve, that is, there is no seam between the sleeve and the clothes as a whole, and the plane is mainly cut;
the third is the placket, which can also be oblique;
The fourth is the right-angle buckle, that is, the disc buckle, which is composed of two parts: knots and loops.
In addition, in terms of fabric, the brocade fabric used in this dress is mainly used. This so-called Tang costume was not a Tang dynasty costume. The veil hat and round-necked robe were the main costumes of men in the Tang Dynasty.
"Qitou" is a kind of black cloth for Baotou.
The Tang Dynasty was the era of "writing heads", and the style of "heads" was also full of changes, especially in the early years of Tang Wude to the beginning of the first century, the shape of "heads" experienced several major changes. ”
"We know that this is not from the Tang Dynasty, didn't you say at the beginning that it was from the Qing Dynasty, so what did the clothing of the Tang Dynasty look like?"
"Also, I don't think it's so good-looking, but it's not bad. After all, you Chinese designers can have such clothes. The audience said enthusiastically.
"But what does the real Tang costume look like?"
Zhang Hua took the opportunity to smile and said, "The men's clothing in the Tang Dynasty was mainly round-necked robes. The traditional crown clothes are only occasionally used on solemn occasions, such as worshipping the ancestors of heaven and earth, ancestral temples, etc., and others are still used in "head robes".
The use of robes is very wide, from the emperor to the hundred officials, it can be worn at ceremonial banquets, and even used as court clothes. The style of the robe is different from one period to another, and the sleeves of the early robe are mostly with large sleeves, but the large sleeves are not suitable for foreign peoples. Due to the cold in the north, it is not convenient to use large sleeves, so narrow sleeves are used to wrap around the arms.
With the mutual penetration of the customs and habits of the north and the south, this tight-fitting and narrow-sleeved robe style was also accepted by the Han people, and became the representative of the robe style of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Zhang Hua said so much, in order not to be embarrassed on the spot, he thought that as long as Xi Qing completed this T steps, he could share a little bit of his attention by saying more, and it was true, when the host introduced Tang costumes, the audience looked at Zhang Hua.
But when the words fell, the audience still focused on Xi Qing, and Xi Qing, who was relaxed and idle at the beginning, admittedly did not perform well, so no one cheered for him.
But Xi Qing went halfway, but found that feeling, Xi Qing can also feel the kind of inspiration and power given by that warm current, that kind of energy makes him know more how to control this Qing clothes, he instantly threw his sleeves, and the coherent clothes stretched in the wind, there was a kind of elegant beauty.
Xi Qing saw the great beauty of the clothes book in the next second, his body turned sideways, and when he turned around, the entire Qingfu was thrown out again, and it was a gust of wind when it was unfolded.
The limbs are powerful, Xi Qing's steps are more sonorous, the amplitude of the arm swing has changed, Xi Qing suddenly showed the image of a general with a good temperament to the fullest, and with the perseverance of his eyes, Xi Qing and this dress are simply integrated.
And indeed, the clothes of this design in ancient China are relatively atmospheric, and now he seems to be a part of Xi Qing's body, he walks brightly, and there is applause from the audience.
"Okay, the show is so good."
"Why is this Tang costume so perfect on him, I love him to death."
Several girls covered their mouths, but the girl's little reserve still told her to suppress the word love. But after Lisa saw Xi Qing's display, she didn't need to hide it.
"Xi Qing, I think it's a pity that you don't be a model, you are an all-rounder, your performance in the clothing show is more than a professional fashion model I have ever seen, you are amazing."
The cheers or cheers reached Xi Qing's ears, but they couldn't excite him, he was still thinking about how to transform this kind of clothing from the stage to reality at this time.
Xi Qing could see that the cheerers were all Chinese, and those white-faced guys, they only felt that such clothes seemed to be used for singing and opera, in reality, who would wear this?
"Okay, it's wonderful, but I'm never going to buy anything like that."
"Yes, there is nothing innovative about this dress."
Although those discussions were very small, it did not prevent Xi Qing from hearing them.
At this time, he had already thought about how to combine tradition and modernity, how to have both Chinese style and keep up with this era, without appearing out of touch.
After walking the runway, the host Zhang Hua shouted loudly, "Okay, the performances of several contestants are over, please stand behind them, choose your favorite contestants, and act." ”
The girls set off one by one and walked to the stage, they chose their favorite contestants, the girls were very active, and from time to time there would be girls hugging Xi Qing.
Xi Qing also knows that those girls are basically standing behind him, but Xi Qing is not concerned about this competition champion at this time, rather than rewarding a beautiful woman's kiss or admiring the moon with a beautiful woman, what Xi Qing wants more is this Tang costume, and he wants to design a practical model, so that Paris will have Chinese culture in the future, and wear clothes made by Chinese, how happy it will be.
When more than forty girls swarmed behind Xi Qing, Xi Qing didn't need to doubt that she had won the first place. And at this time, Zhang Hua was about to talk about the reward.
Xi Qing knew what that reward was, but at this moment, he spoke first to stop Zhang Hua.
"Zhang Hua, hello, I know your reward, but can I have a request, I think if I can, I hope I can design a Tang costume, I also think that after I design it, you can give a comment? I don't know if I'm asking too much, and if I can't, I'm not going to force people to stay here and wait for me to design clothes. ”
Xi Qing still expressed his wishes, and after listening to Xi Qing's words, Zhang Hua suddenly hesitated, he didn't know what Xi Qing wanted to do.
But many foreigners in the audience said that we can wait, you can use your talents to design clothes.
Xi Qing brought the fabric, asked the design team to give him a hand, and told everyone about his entire clothing concept and design thinking.
The Tang costume full of modern atmosphere came out, this Tang costume is more close-fitting, and the whole sense of nobility is not lost, in order to adapt to the Western crowd, but also deliberately made some natural and humanistic scenery in the design, adding the urban elements of Paris.
Completely integrate all of this into a dress, which is also something that only Xi Qing can do, when this dress was made a sample, the Parisians and foreigners in the audience also gave applause, and this time the applause was even more sincere.
Leaving the Place de la Concorde, the next French meal is at the nearby Hotel du Chelly, the French are very particular about eating, and this meal is really not cheap, the appetizer is smoked silver carp, oysters or bread, followed by a soup made from a variety of food ingredients, then fish, jelly, mesen, barbecue, salad and dessert.
The legendary golden snail and foie gras Xi Qing also ate it, but it didn't feel so delicious.
However, this thing is still the most expensive, and after eating, it cost Xi Qing more than 1,600 euros, and Xi Qing simply swiped the card of 2,000 euros and paid the tip with the euros he brought with him.
The next day the weather in Paris was clear, Xi Qing was about to leave, he and Tao Xiaoman left the hotel early in the morning and went to the Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1889 and is located in Paris Paris Champ de Mars on the hollow structure of the iron tower, is a technical masterpiece in the history of world architecture, but also an important attraction and prominent symbol of France and Paris.
Standing at the bottom of the base of the tower, looking up at the tall iron tower like the sky, people seem so small, Xi Qing had seen countless pictures on the computer before, and he didn't feel anything at that time, but at this moment, in the face of this miraculous building, when it was in front of his eyes, Xi Qing could only sigh at the strength and imagination of human beings.
On the God of War Square in front of the iron tower, there are green spaces and countless fountains, a couple of couples from all over the world, frolicking here, Tao Xiaoman and Xi Qing are warm, and now they are very affectionate, pulling Xi Qing to keep taking pictures.
It's just that Xi Qing shook his head and watched it for a long time, and he didn't see any domestic newspapers saying that there was an open-air celestial behavior that was immoral, so it was probably too cold, right?
Tao Xiaoman is quite familiar with the landscape of Paris, not only this Eiffel Tower, after leaving from the Champ de Mars, Tao Xiaoman took Xi Qing to Notre Dame Cathedral.
This one is in Victor. Hugo's painting is one of the most glorious buildings in history, and the carvings and paintings of altars, cloisters, doors and windows, as well as a large number of art treasures from the 13th ~ 17th centuries in the hall are famous all over the world.
Walking into the church, the 33-meter-wide dome and the 24-meter-high long pillars that lead directly to the roof brought Xi Qing a great shock.
The vault tens of meters high is faintly shimmering in the dim light, and with religious reverie, it seems that heaven is above.
The third and topmost floor of Notre-Dame Cathedral is Hugo's bell tower, which overlooks the picturesque scenery of Paris and the Seine, and the sightseeing boats carry tourists along the Seine.
It is said that Hugo once found a Greek word carved into the wall in the dark corner of the north bell tower of Notre-Dame Cathedral: fate. This word inspired him, and Notre Dame de Paris, a work as monumental as this church, was born.
Although he didn't see the Greek word Hugo discovered, or the 13-ton bronze bell that Quasimodo had struck that shattered his eardrums, Notre-Dame Cathedral still gave Xi Qing a mysterious feeling.
After coming down from the bell tower, Xi Qing saw a sculpture stored in a glass case, his face shook slightly, he looked at Tao Xiaoman and asked, "Tao Xiaoman, what is going on with this statue?" ”
This sculpture shows the scene of great grief of the Virgin holding her dead son in the arms of Jesus Christ after the crucifixion, the Virgin lowered her eyes and looked at Jesus in her arms with infinite sorrow, her expression was very expressive, and the marble was given life in the hands of the artist.
