I loved beauty when I was very young, and I would tell my classmates around me how to wear it, but I didn't know that it could become a career. Because there are only fashion designers in China, there is no career in stylist, so I just want to be a fashion designer. It wasn't until I learned from abroad that I realized that I could do this.
Any woman who knows Lucia is lucky, because she knows too well how to make a woman beautiful, and she knows how to drive a woman's own characteristics to improve her taste. Many of these lucky women are stars, such as From Guo Furong to The Big Yao who hit the home run on the cover of a fashion magazine, and Zhao Wei, the director from Xiaoyanzi to the current new image. Lucia herself said that her interest gave her a lot of intuition, and gave her a positive feedback directly, like a kind of light, so that her career can always make a different feeling.
Even if the road is not smooth, interest will give you the opportunity to turn a corner
If there were no limitations, Lucia probably wouldn't have gone abroad to realize the dream she had since she was a child. When I was a child, I studied dance, but I didn't learn to draw, and I couldn't naturally enter the art schools in China. When she felt that such a dream was not realistic, Lucia, like most people, took the college entrance examination, went to a very good school, and studied English literature for a year.
"It's not what I want to learn, I don't want to be a teacher or a translator!" No matter how good English is, it is not my profession. It was Lucia's truest expression, and the voice of her interest stirring in the soil. Huang Ran, who was Lucia's boyfriend at the time, was already abroad at this time, so he encouraged Lucia to go abroad as well, and in this way, the inflection point appeared.
The family held a meeting to study Lucia's problem, obviously the major is very good, the grades are also very good, why give up? Fortunately, her parents were open enough, and they respected Lucia to go to Beijing to study painting for a year, and at the same time passed the IELTS exam, and chose a major related to fashion design under the encouragement of Huang Ran and her parents.
This is because of liking, so serious, Lucia took a scholarship, successfully graduated, and went to work in the UK, really began the road to interest as a career.
A lot of times it's intuition
After working in the UK for three years, Lucia herself said that she had "made a stylelist by mistake", and when she first returned home, she also faced a dilemma, and when she introduced herself to being a stylelist, someone would always ask again: "So what do you actually do?" "Lucia needs to explain that this is a holistic aesthetic design.
Take styling for celebrities. Different people, different personalities, different figures, but hope to achieve more beautiful results, you need to come up with professionalism, experience and vision. Lucia said, "Sometimes it's like, you give me an object to build, and you give me a hundred more clothes, and I'll pick out exactly what suits her best, and very quickly." This is related to long-term accumulation, talent must be, professionalism must also be, some things are based on feelings, and that feeling will automatically appear when you look at them. ”
It's like playing chess, where the youngster relies on calculation and the master relies on intuition. Lucia is a typical example of having an intuition about fashion, "sometimes it is strange, looking at something, feeling its color, texture, feeling that you like it, and soon it will become popular", this feeling is probably the result of the symbiosis of intuition and professionalism.
It doesn't matter where you start, what matters is the beauty
To do the overall shape of the star, we must start from the characteristics of the star itself, and to do some work design for ourselves, we must start from our own ideas. Lucia never stubbornly draws her starting point on a line, but pursues that what is presented at the end is beautiful enough.
Lucia has always had the strongest confidence in her work, she said: "The looks I have always done have been quite praised! "More than 4 years ago, Lucia, who had just returned to China, met Yao Chen, and then Yao Chen's shape was all made by Lucia. From magazine shooting to attending events, from participating in the red carpet to film and television works, Yao Chen's every appearance has almost lucia's creation shining. It is a clear fact that Yao Chen is no longer Guo Furong, but has become the great Yao of the fashion industry. There is also a new image of Zhao Wei recently participating in a talent show as a judge, and the shanghai film festival red carpet was exclaimed "beautiful again", also by Lucia.com.
Not only to change the image of the star, but also to slowly enhance the taste of the star in the process of running-in. "At the beginning, it was all work, full of thoughts about how to help them play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, and after a long time, they will find that the stars are very smart, and their taste will soon improve."
Switching roles is something Lucia often has to do. Creating a look for a star is more like behind the scenes, while doing your own work feels more like an independent artist.
My dreams are not specific, but they are unique
Doing your favorite industry, doing so many excellent works, and being so widely recognized is to complete the dream? Lucia smiled and said, "My dreams are quite big, and that's not all." ”
"My dream is not too specific, but it is very unique, and no one should have done it." Lucia hopes to connect many different industries, such as styling shows, such as cooperating with brands to launch design things, such as working with Huang Ran to make art films. Of course, if possible, there will be more.
q&a
q: Looking back, what do you think you insisted on on this path in the art industry?
a: No matter what the external environment is, the pursuit and persistence of professionalism and details will not change. I often say "the freedom of the heart", but in fact, only if the mind is not restricted can it be unrestricted in creation. I have always been like this, and I hope to continue to do so in the future.
q: Have you ever been confused, unhappy, or even wanted to change careers?
a: No. Having always been firm in his ideal career direction, it has now become a daily job, so what is there to be picky about? Setbacks and difficulties will be encountered every day to different degrees of ways to solve it, perhaps because doing what you like, and it is very fulfilling, and there is no time to be confused. Also not in line with my personality, I rarely hesitate.
q: What kind of changes and breakthroughs do you think your career will have in the future?
a: It will be more refined! That's what I want to see, too. I believe that there will be more professional people to engage in the industry of stylist, and at the same time eliminate a group of people.
