These two days the new studio was a little busy at the beginning, and it was broken. Get up in 6 days today and pick it up quickly.
Let's start with myself today, I am a fashion designer who graduated from Dalian Polytechnic University majoring in fashion design. In 2013, I stepped out of the academy for the first time with a love and pursuit of fashion design, and during my university career, I participated in 5 national fashion design competitions in a year. And they all won good results. After graduation, I also successfully found my first internship job. As a local and domestic second-tier clothing brand company, I realized that there is a fundamental difference between the academy's stuff and the real work. Because of the company's framework, there is no way to make all the costumes original designs, and even more are pseudo-plagiarized by the face-changing accessories.
I already feel a little tired from running to the noodle accessories market every day. I shared my experience with many of the same designers on the forum every day, but I found that more designers were complaining and venting, complaining that the company had given up a lot of our own design ideas in order to pursue profits. Vent dissatisfaction with the domestic apparel industry. For that period, I still naively thought that as long as we did not forget our original intentions and insisted on doing our own designs, we would be recognized by others. Soon half a year passed, in order to pursue the so-called designer ideal in my heart, I changed to a domestic first-line brand. Wouldn't a company of this size be the same as before? I'm a new person, and I remember my first month on the job, when I was frantically drawing pictures to prove my design prowess to the director. But each time it was rejected and criticized. The reason is why not follow the style I gave you? Out of production orders. After many years, I still clearly remember that on September 26, 2014, the director gave me a beating. I really couldn't hold back, broke out, I asked directly: we are designers, not plagiarists! Why can't we trust our sense of smell to copy other people's designs over and over again? If so, why don't you recruit some painters, you have to recruit designers? Director: Do you think your design can be sold for money? People have sold tens of thousands of orders, here is the company! It's not your home, it's not your school, it's about making money here. I'm going to pay you! Don't want to fuck the egg ~ ideal? Go back to school and continue to pursue your ideals!
At that time, I was really disappointed, and the ideals I pursued were useless in front of others. In retrospect, I may have been right. This is the reality, this is the industry problem caused by the general environment, the company also needs to survive, survival needs to adapt to the market environment, with the market environment. But I still firmly believe that if you don't die, you have to toss. The old man always said that it was better to die than to live, but I think not everyone is like this. At least I won't, I'm willing to put every day to live wonderful. Even if tomorrow is the end!
After the argument, I published a short article on the clothing forum, and in just three hours, I was on the forum's hot search. People are encouraging me, but they are also criticizing me. But I resolutely insisted on giving up this job and continued to move forward with my dream. The original text of the forum of the year was like this.
I have been working in the company for a while, and I have a lot of feelings in my heart, but most of the Chinese clothing companies are based on borrowing and modifying a little detail? Having suffered so much in the company, is it really the design and art that I have been pursuing? What is the dream? What does the word "design" really mean? Listening to Xu Wei's "Hometown", there was suddenly an inexplicable sadness in his heart, and he seemed to have lost his way in a foreign land. I really envy those artists born in the chaotic world, you can freely release the truest thoughts in your heart, your own thoughts and hopes through the form of their own art to release, many people have said to me that maybe clothing is not art, but I have always felt that clothing is actually a work of art, because it is like other works of art that embody the hopes and dreams of designers. In the company's fixed model, I feel that I will be slowly formatted, and I am afraid that I will slowly lose the color that I have been pursuing in my heart. Draw with your hands and go with your heart The newly completed "Crazy Life" series of works. I hope that through it, I can express and release the feelings in my heart!
Although today will be a bit chaotic, it was also a matter of many years ago, but whether it is designing clothing or original videos, I think it is the same reason, how many original high-quality videos in the video industry have been buried? How many are taking other people's ideas to modify remakes. But I always thought that as long as I persisted, I would be discovered. It is gold that will always shine one day~! Life goes on, creation goes on!
