Feather knot strings
Figure skating robes and challenge 4A figures are the most beautiful scenery in the world
"I could have done a combination of action with a higher success rate if I didn't do 4A today, but it's my pride to try to finish 4A at this Olympics, and it makes my ice career more complete." I think I've done it today in pushing the limits. Although Yusei Yushin did not achieve the three consecutive Winter Olympic championships, his Olympic spirit of challenging human limits moved everyone.
And his dancing on the ice surface again and again is the most ethereal and beautiful scenery in the world, just like the battle robes he appears in every competition.
When it comes to the dress of figure skaters, there is actually a unified scientific name, called "Kausten", which is a transliteration of the English "Costume" (costume, costume).
Because the family is not rich, before winning the Winter Olympics, considering the financial problems, the Kausten of The Feather String was made by his mother. After doing it for a long time, the mother groped out her own experience: the son is too thin, and the close-fitting clothes will look thinner. But it must also coincide with his own role.
Beginning in 2014, Kausten, who has been tied to the strings, has been handed over to the famous Japanese designer Takumi Ito. Takumi Ito was born in Chiba Prefecture in 1988. After graduating from high school, she studied at the Fashion Design Institute ESMOD JAPON, and at the Kobe Fashion Competition in 2008, she was selected for the Special Excellence, and then studied at the University of The Arts in Nottingham, UK. After returning to Japan, Ito worked on figure skating costume design at Chacott, a brand that specializes in dancing props, and in 2015, she set up a personal studio, with Yusuke Yusuke Yusei being her biggest client. In addition, she has also designed Kausten for many figure skaters such as Jin Boyang in the mainland, Medvedeva, Honda Makoto and so on.
Considering the image and figure of Habu Yusuke, Kausten, which Ito Toshimi created for Habu Yusen, broke the dullness of male figure skaters, and more used the design elements of couture dresses, using a large number of gorgeous embellishments such as embroidery, rhinestones, feathers, sequins, and petals, helping Yusheng Yushin to become a leader in ice fashion.
Some of the movements of figure skating are turned back to the audience, and in order to show the slender back curve of The Feather String, Ito Toshimi will design a costume with a high split on the back.
Ballet costume elements will also be used to express the lightness of the clothes with feathers.
Yusheng knotted the debut of the Beijing Winter Olympics short program, and the white and blue rendering background color is dotted with full of golden rhinestones, making him as beautiful as an ice elf. The front and back are made of a deep V neckline, and the choker element on the neck is the finishing touch, which makes him more of a sense of being loved.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics free skating competition, the blue and white foundation was studded with nailed sequins, and the pink cherry blossoms were embellished one by one, accompanied by the dancing of the feather knot strings, there was a sense of aesthetic beauty of the cherry blossoms falling on the shoulders.
Traveling is a great way for Toshimi Ito to get inspired. For example, in a tour of Rome, Ito Tomomi found that the gold clothes on the blue pillars of the church were very beautiful, so he used this as inspiration to use blue velvet fabrics to design calm, dignified and elegant clothing.
In order to obtain a natural gradient, Ito Tashimi uses an airbrush to complete the coloring process that ordinary dyeing cannot achieve, and will adjust the color of the clothes after watching the game with her own eyes.
Of course, in addition to the design of sportswear, it is necessary to consider the performance content of the players, the degree of completion of the action and other practical content, especially not too heavy, can not affect the jump, so the balance between beauty and the weight of the clothing is particularly important. Ito Usually keeps the clothes of male players within 850 grams and the clothing of female players within 350 grams. Once, because there were a few large rhinestones on the sleeve, it was too heavy to affect the jump, and Yu Yusei peeled off the drills on the sleeve at the scene of the competition.
In addition, in the game, clothing accessories are deducted points if they fall, so when pasting accessories, Ito Tomomi will stretch the clothes to a certain extent and then paste them.
Of course, Habu's costume is not only aesthetic style, the designer will also adjust according to the music and content, such as the 2021 Figure Skating World Championships men's singles short program wear this costume, it adopts a more modern motorcycle style, dark tones, rivets and wet hairstyles, so that he suddenly becomes uninhibited and full of power.
In fact, in Ito's eyes, Yusuke Habu is the designer, and she is his assistant, because whether it is the color of the costume, the material, or the presentation of the costume, it is all decided by Yusei Yushin himself. Ito Takumi once revealed that the costumes in Yusei's "Yin and Yang Division" were designed by himself, "His requirements included a white background with a pattern, yellow-green and purple, and the addition of a pentagram symbolizing the Yin-Yang Division." The hardest part was how to imitate the Kimono hunting suit of the Heian period and make it into a figure skating performance costume. The garments used to make figure skating were made of elastic materials, and it was difficult to show the ductility of silk fabrics until they were sewn more than five times before a shape similar to that of loose hunting clothes was produced. ”
In addition, the number of gems used in this dress has increased from the initial few hundred to 3,000, all in order to achieve the best visual effect, in order to give the audience the best beauty!
Thank you for bringing the best beauty to humanity!
