As more and more female creatives, entrepreneurs and artists are blooming on the Shanghai Fashion Week platform, "her power" gives fashion a new inspiration. Recently, the second season of "Glitter Concentration - Her Power Fashion Dialogue" once again opened the Glitter relay on Xingye Taikoo Hui , gathering a diverse lineup of guests, guiding fashion and creating, connecting female Glitter stories under different cultural backgrounds and growth experiences.
Under the joint initiation of Shanghai Fashion Week promotion ambassador Xiaoxue , "Glitter Light Concentration - Her Power Fashion Dialogue II" invited COMME MOI brand manager Lu Yan and director Shao Yihui as speakers. From their different perspectives, they traced back to the gradually stronger inside the process of growth, and found a moving story of themselves in the noisy voices of the outside world.
Two roundtable conversations gathered outstanding female entrepreneurs and artists respectively - from HEFANG Jewelry founder Sun Hefang , Songmont brand manager Fu Song, who incorporated Eastern philosophy into modern design, to borrowing clothing as a carrier, and continuing to pay attention to exploring the origin of life. Liu Min, founder and creative director of MIN brand, shows that they seem to be "inexhausted" creativity is delicate emotions and unremitting persistence; artists Hu Yinping and Cai Yaling, who use art as a medium to think about existence and identity, regard "creation" as a way to connect with real life; Zhu Yujie , who has dual identities of writers and curators, and Chen Bige , who transformed from supermodels to actors and young directors, and they are constantly crossing their comfort zones, which are not a few "slashes" that can be summarized.
As a female entrepreneur, Lu Yan is deeply touched by the challenges she has faced since her entrepreneurship. In her speech, she talks about the journey of driving herself to break and rebuild her sense of security step by step in her 10-year entrepreneurial career until she finds herself. In her eyes, women look gentle as water, but in fact women are very resilient, just like grass. After the wildfire is burned, the spring breeze will grow again. Her independent brand COMME MOI leads the opening show of the 2023 Spring and Summer Shanghai Fashion Week. Lu Yan also shared the hardships in the preparation process. She emphasized the unique resilience of women, and the creativity bursting out under high pressure is unimaginable. So she specially added percussion music with clear drums at the show, hoping to boost morale for current life.
The post-90s director Shao Yihui, who has received widespread attention for " Love Myth ", believes that for creators, the perspective and imprisonment interaction brought by female identity have made each other unique narratives, and it is also this unique persistence that has made Shao Yihui's "myth".
In the roundtable "Entrepreneurship Journey, Going forward with Glory", the three brand leaders stood at the time node of the brand for about ten years, looking back at the dozens of series themes starting from the first season, as well as the little things behind it. Sun Hefang, founder of jewelry brand HEFANG, is good at exploring the beauty of life emotional resonance . HEFANG has grown from a niche and independent designer brand to a light luxury jewelry brand that can be recognized and accepted by more consumers and businesses in 10 years, using jewelry to tell moving stories. The clothing brand Ms MIN has a strong oriental aesthetic, and it also combines international fabrics and tailoring. Brand founder Liu Min believes that Chinese culture can be presented in all aspects such as "Tao Te Ching", "Huangdi Neijing", calligraphy, traditional Chinese medicine, diet, etc., and its most unique authenticity and uniqueness lies in its invisibility and formlessness. Songmont brand manager Fu Song had more than ten years of experience in the Internet industry before founding the brand. Therefore, he also used many Internet ideas in Songmont products, such as co-creating with users, and achieved success in sales with products that are both practical and design-oriented. With the growth of the brand, the founder gradually faded away his youth. Through design, the concepts he wanted to convey and the ideals he wanted to achieve through brand development, are more mature and heavy.
When art and fashion collide, when charity and creativity travel together, in the roundtable "full of beauty and infinite creativity", four artists who have formed a relationship due to art and charity use their own methods to add warmth to life and play a definite value in this uncertain era.As the initiator of the Xingxing Rabbit and Love Children's Mental Health Care Action, Chen Bige has been working for this autistic children's rehabilitation charity project for ten years. Cai Yaling, an artist who insists on using art to express herself as women, has participated in the LADY DIOR exhibition crossing the border with artists by DIOR. Hu Yinping's pseudonym is "Xiaofang", just to acquire handmade wool hats from the old aunts in her hometown for a high price, thereby inspiring them to have hope for life. This warm story is also vividly expressed in her solo exhibition "Hu Xiaofang and Qiao Xiaohuan" in the form of an art installation. In this era of "not standing without happiness", it is not easy to persist in writing, translation, reading and studying for more than ten years. However, this literary and artistic craftsman spirit has long been rooted in Zhu Yujie's daily life. For herself, she created "a room of her own"; for her, she planned "a exhibition of women" and actively held a public welfare exhibition for female artists, hoping to make more people pay attention to women's creations. In this special era, they emit light in their respective fields and roads, illuminating the people around them to the best of their ability.
Women from all walks of life have different perspectives to see the fashion picture, express themselves with diverse voices, touch the present with tenacity and tenderness, create the future with sharp thoughts, create their glimmer of light, and become the stars of the times. As the official key project of Shanghai Fashion Week, "Glitter Light Concentration - Her Power Fashion Dialogue" focuses on the in-depth dialogue between women and themselves, and resonates with the same frequency with society. It provides a communication space for women to shine and gather together to create, allowing the glimmer to illuminate the glimmer, concentrate its efforts, and opens a new era for women.
