3.9 Designer Competition

Ning Qiao, a student Luo Yibing, still has some impressions, she is in the course he opened this semester, although there is only such a sophomore elective, but the unexpected homework is completed very well, compared to many senior brothers and sisters. I didn't expect to have such a good achievement in the overall design drawing. He faintly felt in his heart that as long as Ning Qiao's psychological element was good enough, he couldn't say that there would be an unexpected joy this time.

"Okay, teacher, then I'll go back first." Ning Qiao said hello to Teacher Luo and left the office. Knowing that she had entered the official competition, Mr. Luo made a special trip to the office to take a look at her work, and obviously she was very satisfied with the table just now. Although Ning Qiao's current design level is very good, she still maintains a natural respect for the teacher, after all, she has always been a good baby, and she respects the teacher.

In addition to Ning Qiao, there are two seniors and a junior in the department this time, plus Ning Qiao, there are only four people. One is that the selection requirements are strict, and the other is that there are not many students who sign up themselves, after all, this competition is still very well-known in the industry, and they are generally very confident in themselves, and those who are sure to engage in this industry will sign up. At this time, many seniors have already started working in new companies.

Because of the teacher's leadership, Ning Qiao and the others had a smooth journey, and after arriving, they first contacted the staff of the organizing committee of the competition and got the so-called schedule.

The first round of this competition is women's dresses, and the models are randomly selected, because of the large number of participants, there will be cases of sharing models. There is no age limit, but most of the designers participating in the competition are young people under the age of 30. After all, it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible, and if the name of cutting-edge is hung on an older designer, it will inevitably be a little unworthy of the name.

According to Ning Qiao's observation, although the organizing committee is not divided, it is obvious that the academics in the field and the designers who have been born in society have their own circles. The four of them also met some of the same college seed players with Mr. Luo, who led the team, and although everyone had a competitive relationship, there were still frequent exchanges between schools.

In the first round of the competition, Ning Qiao did not get into a group with any seniors, the model she drew was a middle-aged woman who was nearly 40 years old, not a professional model, just a volunteer invited by the organizing committee, Ning Qiao had a brief chat with her, knowing that this lady was a housewife, and this time she came to participate in this event and signed up with the girl at home. With an ordinary appearance and a mild aura, the organizing committee made a special trip to invite a model with good intentions.

Evening dresses for ordinary people? Sure enough, it's a dream.

There are also two ladies who share the model with Ning Qiao, both of whom seem to be older than her. Ning Qiao took the initiative to greet them, but as direct competitors in the first round, the two ladies were obviously not very enthusiastic. Ning Qiao didn't continue to talk about herself, anyway, it won't be her who loses.

There was still plenty of time, and Ning Qiao didn't start to hurry up to draw the design drawings. Instead, after the other two contestants left, they found the model's place of residence and asked for information. Design is for people, no matter how good the clothes are, if the people who wear them don't like them, they are not good design. Ning Qiao, who is well aware of the importance of people-oriented, decided to make full preparations, lay a good foundation, and sharpen his knife so as not to cut wood.

The model's surname is Zhou, this Aunt Zhou has always been a housewife, and her husband is also an ordinary clerk, so she has little opportunity to wear evening dresses. But every woman has a yearning for beauty, and for Aunt Zhou, an evening dress like on TV that looks overwhelming is the beauty in her eyes. Even if she is no longer young and does not have the aura of a strong woman, it does not prevent her from yearning for the picture in her mind.

After carefully considering Aunt Zhou's needs and learning about her living habits and hobbies, Ning Qiao had some inspiration and went back to start designing. In five days, not only did they have to complete the design drawings, but they also had to make them by hand, which was also a test for the designers. Fortunately, the required clothing is provided by the organizing committee of the competition, and any needs can also be raised.

As long as it's not a treasure like ice silk, it seems that general clothing materials can be provided here. Because of the long duration of the competition, the players can look for inspiration or something, but they can't leave the hotel where they are staying. There are staff members following the whole process, so it's no wonder that this competition is brilliant.

The design that Ning Qiao thought of was a dress full of warmth and atmosphere, which not only met Aunt Zhou's hopes, but also matched with her own aura, in her opinion, it would definitely make the wearer and the person who watched it feel amazing. In the next few days, Ning Qiao revised and perfected the design drawings on the one hand, and on the other hand, he looked for the fabrics that he felt suitable from the original clothing provided by the organizing committee, and began to make zuò ready-to-wear.

In the first round of the competition, the judges will look at it and decide the promotion between the same groups. The final list for the next round will be decided after comprehensive consideration and discussion by the judges. During the assessment, Ning Qiao was confident with his finished clothes, and he was in the mood to pay attention to the situation of other people. There are also some people who have not finished their works by this time, and they will definitely miss the next competition.

The dresses designed by the two designers in the same group for Aunt Zhou are also very good-looking, probably because of Aunt Zhou's age, the colors used are plain, and they all take a simple and generous route. Ning Qiao's design is uncharacteristically based on obvious bright colors, and the splashed ink outline makes this dress worn on Aunt Zhou not only has her usual gentle temperament, but also is very eye-catching.

Without waiting for the judges to announce, the other two designers had a hunch after seeing Ning Qiao's work, and knew that they might not be able to continue. I didn't expect that a little girl in school designed so boldly, they didn't take Ning Qiao in their eyes originally, after all, they are all leaders in this industry, how can they think that their own design is not as good as a child studying in school.

Unexpectedly, it may be because of the lack of experience in youth, but he dares to think and do, and the design is bold and full of innovation, and in the end, he beat the two of them and entered the next round of the competition.

In fact, Ning Qiao felt that she could design such a dress, one was because of her own level, and the other was that she had both the experience of being 36 years old and the mood of being 16 years old.

"That's a good player." Luo Jing finished reading the table of this group and communicated with the other judges around him. In fact, there is not necessarily only one person in the same group who advances. If there is an excellent work, there may be more than one person who will enter the next round, and of course, if the players are average, they may all be wiped out and lose at this level. In general, the rules of selection are to try to treat all players fairly as much as possible.

"It's Jiang University, I didn't expect such a talent to come out of the school this year, it seems that some of the final selection has been seen." Su Qi smiled and said that as a well-known older generation designer in the industry, she likes to see talented young people stand out in this kind of competition. This is their original intention to promote the rejuvenation of the industry and improve the quality of the industry.

"This girl is not very old, and I don't know how she is taught in school, and the clothing designed is not only in line with the principles of the industry, but also not rigid, it is really rare to have this skill at this age!" Xi Yi next to him also sighed when he heard their exchange. The judges of this type of competition have always been a mix of old and new to avoid bias. Compared with Su Qi and Luo Jing, he is younger, and his admiration for Ning Qiao is also a little more obvious.

"It seems that Lao Xi admires this student very much, so he wants to dig into your studio?" Mu Yisen on the side joked that he and Xi Yi are the same batch of famous designers, they have opened their own clothing studios, and they are more familiar with each other.

"Isn't that possible?" The expression on Xi Yi's face didn't change, and he didn't seem to care about Mu Yisen's joke at all, "Such a good seedling, anyway, I don't have her level when I'm her age." After that, he spread his hands and deliberately gestured to a certain wood, as if asking, are you okay?

Well, he really, not either. A certain wood, who was bored, had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and no longer discuss this topic with Xi Yi. Such an honest man, he can't afford to provoke and hide.

Shun Lì entered the second round, and Ning Qiao was also in a happy mood. Teacher Luo was very happy when she learned her results, this time a senior sister and the senior in the junior year both entered the second round, plus Ning Qiao, this result was already the best he had. After some encouragement, Mr. Luo didn't stay longer, after all, there are still the next two rounds of competition, and the one who has the last laugh is the winner.

In the past, the best results of Jiang University students were only in the third round, and they had not won the final top three awards.

The topic of the second round is men's casual fashion. The model that Ning Qiao randomly saw was a very handsome young man, or it was not enough to describe him as handsome, with upturned Danfeng eyes on his tail, a tall nose bridge, thin lips that seemed to be smiling, and a little makeup, it could be described as a demon.

With this kind of appearance, everything he wears is his foil, and if he wants to design brilliantly, it is really not easy. For designers, it is far more troublesome than ordinary people with average appearance. The organizing committee has really put in a lot of effort, and such a beautiful model can also be found, which is really wealthy.

In this round, the number of participants has decreased a lot, the models are all professional, there is no zài sharing, and the contestants have more time to communicate with the models. If you want to make the cut, you must not only design brilliantly, but also let the models wearing their works become the promotional racks of the clothes, and cooperate with each other to complement each other.
