上海时装周Simon Wang 秋冬发布会

新闻通稿

 

2009年4月23日, 第七届上海时装周国际品牌发布会正式启动,一年一度的时尚饕餮盛宴再度开启大幕，而为时装周拉开序幕的就是旅英多年的年轻设计师SIMON WANG和他带来的涅磐 Nirvana系列。

 

国际知名模特裴蓓作为开场，把SIMON WANG今冬的设计灵感带入现场500多观众的视野，而这便是SIMON WANG在国内T型舞台的第一个正式的亮相。这次登场，也是SIMON WANG多年来游走于欧美以及国内时装市场之间的一个厚积薄发。

 

作为一名深谙时尚产业规律的国际级设计师，这个系列既紧跟当今世界问题和市场潮流，又带有深刻的个人色彩。

 

这次秋冬女装系列的主要设计灵感来自于中国云南省德宏傣族景颇族自治州的少数民族，阿昌族。阿昌族绚烂多彩的服饰,高包头,和几何形状的配饰,都是这次设计的主要灵感来源。

 

“吸引我的不光是颜色，同时还有具有其民族特色的各种银饰的造型，以及男女青年之间的对歌，正是这些颜色，造型和音乐表演艺术，衬托出阿昌族人民的热情好客，纯洁无暇的个性来，” 而这一切又符合了国际上80年代时尚流行的复古因素, “于是我的创作源泉正是被这种浓浓的民族情感所感染，被源源不断的激发出来。” SIMON说。

 

而这次金融危机的突然到来，也再次激发了设计师的灵感，80年代的时装风潮中扮演最主要角色的一些设计细节被大量的运用，例如肩部夸张的表现方式，少了一些僵硬，公式化的肌肉外型，而囊括了几何感和流畅的线条，创造性地突出了新轮廓。色彩选择上尽量选择低调保守的厚重色彩,但同时也夹杂着一些大胆的，色彩鲜艳的印花设计，预示着寒冬之后便是春天的绚丽多姿。在面料的选择上，包括传统昂贵的真丝面料，毛呢之外，还采用了一些轻盈的雪纺，以及色彩鲜艳的皮革。在配饰方面，帽子和发饰相当抢眼，加强了视觉效果。开场是国际名模裴蓓以一袭带有阿昌族民族色彩的服饰登场。这是一场看似民族，却又奔向未来的时装秀。

 

此次的作品系列不难看出SIMON WANG对于民族情结和国际流行趋势的自由把握和完美掌控力。对于这两点，他既不是单一的模仿，也不是一味的追随，而是凭借自己游走两种文化之间的自信，产生出的具有SIMON WANG标签的独特的个人风格：那就是优雅而不保守，特立独行而不怪异。

 

生长于内蒙古，在英国接受时尚教育，SIMON WANG在欧美的时尚界并不是一个陌生的名字。2004年，先后两次作为大陆第一位时装设计师在伦敦时装周期间展示了其2004秋冬，2005春夏系列作品，地点是全球闻名的英国皇家艺术中心。随后，同全球著名时装公司TOP SHOP合作供货，并开始在全球第二大时装零售网站WWW.ASOS.COM上展开销售，并拓展欧洲其他地区以及北美市场。而这次在上海时装周的亮相，更表明了SIMON WANG进军国内时尚产业的信心。

Shanghai Fashion Week Simon Wang Autumn/Winter collection

Press release

 

The "2009 Shanghai Fashion Week Expo launched by Shanghai People's Government is held on April 23, 2009. The opening show is brought to you by Simon Wang with his Autumn/Spring collection “ Nirvana”.

 

Emma Pei, the Top model , in Simon Wang’s design, will be the first face on the runway for his 500 audience. This is the debut show of Simon Wang in China and also his first interface with the national market.

 

As Simon Wang a international designer who has great insight to the fashion industry, this collection is not only inspired by world issue and the latest trends but also engraved with personal charisma of himself.

 

The collection is mainly inspired by the costume of A-Chang minority in Yunnan, China. The colorful costume, sky-high headbands and other geometrized accessories, are the source of his inspiration.

 “ It is not only the color that attracted me but also its design of all kind of silver accessories. The love songs between young people and the performance all reflected the hospitality and innocence of A-Ching.” Simon said, “ This happens to feature the 80’s fashion elements and thus my inspiration is springing.”  Again buffeted by the winds of the financial economic, the collection uses a lot of fashion details of the 80’s such as the creative exaggeration on the shoulders, with less stiff but smooth curves. The color is more down-to-earth, however, some bold printed pattern is also traceable, forecasting the coming of spring after the winter.

 

The choice of material includes silk, wool, chiffon and colorful leather. The accessories are bold. At the end of the show, Emma Pei presents a long dress with A-Chang characteristics. This is a show that is both marked with nationalists and also futurism.

 

It is not hard to find out from the show of Simon Wang’s sensational interpretation for both the nationalism and international trends. This is the collection tagged with the charisma of the designer, who is elegant but not conservative, critical but not queer.

 

Born in Inner Magnolia and received his fashion education in UK, Simon Wang is not new to the Europe market. As the first Chinese mainland fashion designer who presented in London, Simon Wang’s 2005 spring/summer collection “Tango” was showing at Royal Academy of Arts in London. Afterwards, he has been working with Top Shop and has his line on the second largest online shopping website www.asos.com. He has been developing the market on Europe and North America. The debut on Shanghai fashion week also shows his interest and confidence to launch his ambitions in inland market.
