Zhang Xiaofei's Yunjin dress is a visual feast
On the afternoon of the award ceremony, Zhang Xiaofei posted nine beautiful photos on his personal Weibo account, with the caption "Walking around the Grand View Garden on her skirt." Netizens have left messages "Zhang Xiaofei is absolutely beautiful", "wearing such a beautiful dress will definitely win the award", "where is such a stunning dress customized"... For a time, the Yunjin dress worn by Zhang Xiaofei became a hot topic.
Previously, Zhang Xiaofei wore a royal blue cloud brocade dress at the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala in the Greater Bay Area, and the patterns of mountains, camels and sacred deer on the skirt resembled the magnificent Silk Road. The yunjin dress worn this time is woven with green pines and cypresses, pavilions and pavilions, full of "Chinese style".
Li Xiaowei, deputy general manager of Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute, said: "The Golden Rooster Award is the highest honor in the Chinese film industry, and it is most appropriate to wear Yunjin costumes that represent the highest level of Chinese silk weaving technology at such a grand ceremony. To this end, Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute and VGRASS women's wear made a plan for this award ceremony half a year ago, and designed a dress of Yunjin fabric in advance.
"The dress zhang Xiaofei wears, the fabric color layers are rich, bringing everyone a visual feast." Li Xiaowei told the Modern Express reporter that Zhang Xiaofei's yunjin dress fabric is in the overall green tone, using real gold thread, peacock feathers and other materials that will be used on ancient dragon robes, which is gorgeous. Peacock feathers are a very precious material, which can show different colors with the change of light, and the twisted silk threads are very three-dimensional after interweaving.
It is understood that the fabric of this dress adheres to the traditional hand-weaving technique, from the pattern craftsman to draw, pick the knot to the weaving of the big flower building loom, it took a total of 6 months to weave into a 6.75-meter-long fabric, and the weaving process, the two weavers on the loom, up and down the cooperation took 80 days.
When making ready-to-wear, the designer also cleverly added the embroidery process to embellish the pattern, which played a role in icing on the cake.
The pattern is taken from the "Grand View Garden" in "Dream of the Red Chamber"
"The dress pattern design is inspired by Cao Xueqin's Dream of the Red Chamber." Li Xiaowei said.
There is a deep relationship between Yunjin and "Dream of the Red Chamber". From the great-grandfather of the author Cao Xueqin, three generations have hereditary Jiangning weaving for more than fifty years, and when Cao Xueqin created "Dream of the Red Chamber", there were many people and things based on the people and things of the Cao family, including many depictions of Yunjin, such as the peacock gold fur that Qingwen woven for Jia Baoyu, which is a typical cloud brocade product.
In addition to Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, there is also the "Grand View Garden" in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
"Presenting the scene of the Grand View Garden with cloud brocade fabric is another practice of the modernization of the cloud brocade weaving process, and it is necessary to carry out process transformation." Li Xiaowei said that the original design draft was biased towards the requirements of the process, but as the fabric of the dress, it also needs to meet the clothing designer's control over the main body. Therefore, the craftsman team of Nanjing Yunjin Research Institute made more detailed changes, which not only met the process requirements, but also realized the design ideas, "This is a long-term process of running-in and optimization." ”
Between the changes of light and shadow, the pattern on the dress presents a green and lush spring scene.
