I don't know when the "Chinese style began" spread in the international fashion circle,
Maybe it's because of the sentence: Without Chinese elements, there is no nobility
Many foreign fashion agencies and magazines have more or less begun to talk about the so-called "Chinese style".
But because I really don't understand the charm of Chinese style, it is a fusion of oriental aesthetics presented by the art of various dynasties.
There are serious deviations in aesthetics ...
More classic, there is no more classic than the "Chinese style collective overturning" incident of the foreign Met Gala gala.
Met Gala，全名叫The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala
It is a large charity ball held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York every year.
The prom was officially founded in 1948 and began as a small, small-name private party.
In 1971, Diana Freeland, editor-in-chief of VOGUE, who was known as the "eternal master of fashion", took over as chairman.
Through a thorough transformation, slowly beat the fame out and become the theme event of the fashion industry.
To this day, don't look at it as a mediocre charity ball.
But in the circles of European and American celebrities, being invited to this ball almost represents the status symbol of the top stream.
Therefore, on the first Monday of May every year,
Here are gathered most of the fashion, music and showbiz stars and celebrities, is a carnival night for all fashion lovers,
It is also known as the "Oscar of the fashion industry".
Of course, as a dance party that is held every year, if there is no new trick, it is too peaceful,
The Met Gala's ball has a dress-up theme requirement every year, and the guests in attendance can dress up to walk the red carpet according to the requirements.
So every time at the Met Gala, we always see some strange outfits.
For example, the theme of 2019 is called: Let Go of Yourself
The theme for 2018 is The Gifted Body: Fashion and Religious Fantasy
In 2017, in tribute to a famous Japanese costume designer, the theme adopted by the dance party was called Rei Kawakubo,
That year, Yang Mi, as an invited guest, also participated in the charity gala of the Met Gala for the first time.
Only on that night did she wear the smell of Japanese seaweed rolls...
In 2016, the ball combined fashion and technology for the first time, introducing the concept theme of "fashion in the age of technology"
Until 2015, I don't know when "Chinese style" was taken in by Met Gala.
At that time, they came up with a very Chinese theme - "China: Mirror Flower Water Moon".
Just when I thought the Chinese style should be like this:
The aesthetic wear of foreign celebrities for the national style made me feel shocked and my brain was buzzing...
Until today, I found out that foreigners seem to have a deep misunderstanding of the understanding of Chinese style...
There is such a strange collocation of any Chinese elements that cannot be seen at all-
In this way, it was ridiculed by netizens as a pizza
And so on... Mid-East Wind?!
This sense of good intention to hold her high, say she copied the Academy Awards no one objected, right??
Well...... Like this punk-flavored metallic rock style like the picture below,
If you are forced to pull on the "golden armor all over the city", it seems to be reasonable.
Say it's like a kite, I don't think anyone objected to it?!
Fortunately, there is also a non-thunderous, evening dress embroidered with a group of white cranes on the blue sky rubbed a little national wind elements.
Perhaps because it was too "stunning", the BBC also reported on this matter that year, and the headline was also quite interesting, called
"Met Ball: Looking at Chinese-Themed Clothing from a Chinese Perspective"
We don't know how much ridicule there is in this title.
But hugo mushrooms in the root of the red Chinese identity, these outfits are indeed a bit spicy...
Maybe in previous years,
When the "national style elements" have not yet been blown out overseas, is this how foreign designers understand Chinese style?
In fact, "Chinese style" is not superficial, more importantly, it is the connotation.
As China's foreign trade exports account for an increasingly high proportion of the international market, the cultural export to the outside world is also getting stronger and stronger.
Some contain the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture, in line with the Chinese aesthetic,
The "high-end Chinese style" that can really resonate deeply with Chinese has also begun to truly sweep overseas.
In 2021, on TikTok, a group of "Chinese street shooting" topics are completely on fire,
1.2 billion plays!
International fashion giants VUGUE and Esquire magazines rushed to report:
Chinese street photography, refresh fashion textbooks!
In the words of foreign fashion media reports: I do not allow you not to watch these videos!
Whether it is a cool handsome guy dressed in white and fluttering, confident and dashing playing skateboarding.
Or the aunt and grandmother level of the cheongsam, have become the fashion "Chinese weather vane".
With that, China's Hanfu has also begun to be sought after by foreigners
Many foreign netizens lamented the fashion touch of this high-end atmosphere of traditional Chinese clothing.
There are also some who have already added hanfu sleeves and become sweet people
With the export of more and more Chinese culture to the outside world,
Let foreign designers for the national style aesthetics of the training rose several notches,
When some Chinese Hanfu took the runway show, it finally surprised the world!
The combination of the Western court and the oriental immortal qi even created a more new design spark,
What a beautiful one!
The typical full-breasted skirt in this Hanfu is quite stunning.
There is data showing,
In 2019, the turnover of returning to Hantang on Tmall exceeded 100 million yuan, and buyers were distributed in more than 60 countries around the world;
In 2020, the Hanfu brand "More than 13" was rated by Tmall as one of the top ten new brands of domestic goods going abroad, and the overseas turnover increased by 158% year after year;
This kind of ancient fashion trend blown up by Chinese culture going to sea, this is the real "Chinese style"!
