A highlight of the fashion week, students' works, never fails to impress.
The closing show of Shanghai Fashion Week, the annual graduation show of Raffles Design Institute Shanghai, was held in Xintiandi Style on Tuesday. Eight students presented their graduation works, inspired by old movies, architecture, oceans, vintage culture, women in love and even cabbage seeds.
First-prize winner Winnie Cao showcased six total looks of men's wear, titled "Deep Blue," using more than 20 different fabrics, which she sourced in Shanghai and Guangzhou.
The capsule collection includes navy blue jackets made of velvet and leather; sweaters in a mixture of cashmere and wool; semi transparent shirts made of silk and chiffon; and silver gray, reflective pants and copped pants in a loose fit silhouette.
Her inspiration comes from Luc Besson's 1988 movie "The Big Blue," and she wanted her models to look as if they had just come out of the water.
"I was so impressed by the movie that I learned diving," she said. "Deep under the sea it is so beautiful, and so different from the real world. I feel peace, confidence and warmth."
The 24-year-old says there's far more room for Chinese men's fashion to develop, compared with women's, and plans to focus on men's wear after graduation. Meanwhile, Raffles Privato, the city's first students-led brand store, was launched on the same day in Xintiandi Style. It sells one-of-a-kind pieces designed by Raffles students who also do the marketing and management. All majors, from fashion design and fashion marketing, to interior design and business administration, participate in every step.
At Grand Gateway 66, the China final for Triumph Inspiration Award 2011, attracted 15 students from 12 Chinese fashion schools. Inaugurated in 2008, the annual award recognizes students' creations of lingerie showpieces.
Bai Ge from the Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology won first prize with her "Time" lingerie set combining metal, plastic and lace; items feature wing-like attachments and clockwork gear decorations. Bai will compete in the global finals in Berlin on July 6, with 36 other finalists.
