Recently, Zhang Chi, a pioneering fashion designer in China and the initiator of the concept of "virtual fashion", released the virtual fashion "only this blue and white". As another series of masterpieces brought by Zhang Chi and his digital fashion brand METACHI to the field of virtual fashion, METACHI's "Only This Blue flower" explores the integration of the new world of web3.0 and the national art in a strong way of expression, and through the analysis of the inextricable emotional bonds in it, it leads to high respect for traditional ingenuity, and at the same time, it also makes the entire series present a great ambition, pushing virtual fashion and virtual fashion to a new height.
Virtual fashion "only this blue and white"
The "Only Blue and White" series launched a total of five virtual fashions. The first "Porcelain Heart Through Arrow" takes an arrow through the heart and the heart to print the heart as the keynote, digging deep into the appropriation and extension of images of different eras and different attributes, which is also Zhang Chi's aesthetic understanding of the gradual integration of Eastern and Western cultures.
"Indigo Fan Butterfly" makes the butterflies in virtual fashion break out of the cocoon once again. Borrowing the agility of the blue and white ornamentation and the immortality and purity of the soul of the butterflies, "Indigo Fan Butterfly" praises nature and life with the art of expression in a new context, constantly explores the more meaningful genes and spiritual elements in the root of life, enlarges and reorganizes, and deepens the expressiveness and connotation of the work.
The mixture of diverse styles, cultures and time and space has always been Zhang Chi's best play at METACHI. "Evil Girl Qinghua" borrows the purity of Qinghua, the courage of nirvana in the fire and the evil of desire of the devil horn to remodel, showing the entanglement of love and desire to the fullest.
Compared with the previous three works, "Aoori Sumi" and "Jihua Yu wing" focus more on the element of blue and white itself. Whether it is the silhouette with a strong sense of shape that reflects the texture and level of the blue and white flowers, the gentle and firm "Green Weaving Sumi", or the "Jihua Shadow Wing" that intends to convey the ultimate emotions of love, life and death, the "tradition and technology" and "rigidity and softness" combined by it have appropriately strengthened the symbolic meaning represented by the blue and white flowers.
The blue and white ornaments embody the spirit of heaven, earth and man, and in their special way, they continue to extend the footprints of Confucian and Taoist thought. To some extent, METACHI's "Only This Blue flower thick" series uses tattoos and blank spaces to portray long and long traditional Chinese cultural images, creating a cultural output with a weak narrative and strong meaning.
Initiator of the concept of "virtual fashion": Zhang Chi
Although many concepts such as "digital fashion", "virtual fashion" and "virtual fashion" have entered the public eye with the rise of the "meta-universe". However, as a leader in China's fashion industry, Zhang Chi, who has always adhered to the principle of "environmental protection", conceived the concept of "virtual fashion" as early as during the marine crisis from 2018 to 2019, and thus founded the METACHI digital fashion brand. The accumulation of several years of deep cultivation, to the mushrooming virtual fashion works after the rain, also made Zhang Chi and METACHI famous in the field of virtual fashion, becoming authoritative representatives in China and even the world; from the initial "Final Fantasy" series of virtual fashion works, to "Green Dream Spirit Butterfly", "Sansheng Universe", and then to the release of the work "Only this blue flower", Zhang Chi's works brought every time are not only stunning, but also launched an interpretation and impact on the concept of virtual fashion.
"Overproduction and overconsumption of fashion is one of the main factors contributing to pollution. Digital clothing minimizes carbon emissions and eliminates waste and chemicals from production and use... Through our efforts, we hope to create a second life for the fashion industry by 1% of the world's fashion digitization by 2025. ”
As Zhang Chi elaborated in Weibo, environmental protection is the lifelong pursuit of designer Zhang Chi. It is also this internal factor that gave birth to Zhang Chi's creation of "virtual fashion". Nowadays, Zhang Chi, who occupies the highland in the field of virtual fashion, while practicing the concept of environmental protection, is also launching a new round of climbing towards the creation of "digital couture", and looks forward to his better virtual fashion works in the future!
