From Inheritance to innovation - Exhibition of Chinese Cultural Costume Design Collaboration
In succession to the first phase of the project (virtual exhibition at https://www.ippd-sft.com/costume-exhibition), the curation team extended the creative process in league with Sustainable Fashion Apparel Association (SFAA) and SFT design alumni. In this innovation and synthesis phase, the students and research team of Dr Haze Ng put the knowledge and techniques acquired into practice.
Six SFT design alumni, including fashion designer Arto Wong, Derek Chan, and Zoe Li, fashion illustrator Jenny Chui, fashion stylist Constance Lee, and cultural design specialist Eunice Lee, were invited to participate in the creative process and share their professional insights with the students. Sponsored by Prosperity Textiles and Stella Blu Textile Limited, the think tank explored the possibility of novel fashion interpretations with sustainable denim and indigo-inspired textiles. Various techniques and craftsmanship were investigated, including natural dyeing, botanical printing, authentic Hong Kong Cheongsam Making Technique, 3D modelling, etc. Through the collaborative approach, a collection of eight contemporary Chinese culture-inspired fashion outfits were created.
The outcomes of this innovation phase echo with those of the inheritance phase, demonstrating the progressive learning process of the students. Not only does this virtual exhibition series showcase the collective cultural appreciation through fashion design and the creativity of SFT talents, but also the unlimited design possibility in the creative space of cultural design.
