The people who like Hu Sheguang would be attracted by his endless creativity and breakthroughs; however, you will not know that his gifted talent and thinking are not that simple as just being in constant changes without approaching the inner world of this “fashion wizard.”
This was the same case with his fashion show “Silk Road and Fengshui” at the London Fashion Week. In addition to the boldness and unrestraint inside his bones, you could find in him the folk’s culture and oriental elements; however, essentially, they are still the most pragmatic designer works with distinguished Chinese characteristics.
Now a Haute Douture fashion train of “Silk Road and Fengshui” starts from the Red T Fashion and Creativity Street (“REDT”) at Jianghan District, Wuhan to the runway at Natural History Museum, London.
As the supporting unit for this “Silk Road and Fengshui” activity and the “mysterious force” behind Hu Sheguang, REDT at Jianghan District, Wuhan has given great support for Hu Sheguang. It is one of the factors of perfectly manifesting the brilliance of “the Silk Road and Fengshui” for Hu Sheguang Fashion Space to settle in Wuhan as well as the spiritual support from REDT.
The show venue at this London Fashion Week may not be new to the audiences; it is at Natural History Museum, London, at which a “Silk Road and Fengshui” fashion show had ever been staged, so we can say that today’s “Silk Road and Fengshui” is just a perfect return. Whether the selection of theme or the collision of inspirations for design have all been bettered off.
There is an exhibition of the whole series of 25 sets of high-class customized dresses. According to Hu Sheguang, the name of the show originated from the encounter with Vatti brand.
“Vatti is a great cooperative partner in our undertaking, and my inspiration is inseparable from the Avant Garde design concept and spirit of the brand. “Silk Road and Fengshui” demonstrates the Chinese folk culture, and Fengshui not only has the Chinese meaning regarding geomancy, but to a certain degree absorbs the design concept of Vatti in respect of its smart integrated machine for steaming and roasting, and dish-washing machine. It is more worth mentioning that Vatti launched two heavy-weight new products at this London Fashion Show: Vatti dry health dish-washing machine and smart integrated machine for steaming and roasting. As the first news conference of Vatti abroad, it represented the Chinese products’ going global. It is interesting that such two new products originated from Europe and the United States; however, it has been redefined during the constant upgrading of consumption among Chinese consumers. Now it comes back to the fashion world with a brand-new posture.”
Certainly, as the fashion creative office of Vatti, Hu Sheguang has always been dedicated to the use of bold design concepts and has demonstrated the beauty of Chinese culture before the world. At this Vatti fashion news conference, the wave of Chinese products has been created in London, the so-called “Capital City of Fashion in the World,” and attracted high attention and discussions among global medias, whether regarding the innovative application of such Chinese elements as “wind, fire and water,” or the new-generation Chinese people’s understanding of fashion.
Hu Sheguang gives a reply to why Fengshui has been selected as one of the themes of this fashion show:
“At the grand stage of world architecture, the Chinese Fengshui theory has acquired a high reputation. As of now, it has seemingly become the worldwide advocacy, which is not restricted to the East. Over the past years, Fengshui has been widely used in the house and home domains, and is even associated with an entrepreneur’s character and undertaking, etc. Making reference to it, we would think of Yin and Yang and the Eight Diagrams, black and white, as well as positive energy and negative one, all of which are one of the important origins for inspiration for our works created for this fashion show.”
“Water flows along with mountains, and stops at the foot of them.” Profound and extensive, Fengshui has been widely applied.
In pursuit of a good dream, we will find the essence of fashion in the Chinese culture.
Break through conventional principles and seek for renewed ones. He Sheguang has demonstrated the passion for the traditional Chinese culture while maintaining his sharp individuality with a view to interpreting the charm of the Oriental elements. In his works, all kinds of techniques as to metallic articles, embroidery, pearl embroidery and cement correspond with each other, and each piece of clothing is like a moving artiwork to demonstrate the unique glamour of the Chinese folk culture.
By virtue of its distinguished design style, and the employment of such methods of models and colors, Hu Sheguang has manifested all kinds of embroidery and Oriental elements in representation of the Chinese culture by means of clothing and shows. They are very friendly to you, regardless of the fact that you are a fashion insider or a great enthusiast of the national culture. Instead of being overly extravagant, they give full consideration to users regarding both inside and outside of the products. Even though you have little understanding of the trend of fashion, you can still find some inspiration from this show. What’s the essence of fashion? It’s really important to keep engaged in innovation, but the character of Chinese culture should be sought after in a lifetime.
On the day of the show, International fashion designer Mr Hu Sheguang was awarded for the Best Costume Designer and Cultural Exchange Ambassador of 2018-2019. The award was presented by the the Committee of CBIDW along with Chunqing Li, the founder of (CBIDW); Ning Zhang, CBIDW Partner & UK AD Fashion Culture Media Director; Ms. Qiulin Gui, Dean of the Chinese Institute of Traditional Chinese Culture and Senior Consultant of CBIDW; Royal Princess Katarina (Princess Katarina of Yugoslavia); Dr. Yvonne Thompson, Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire; Baron Annet Cohen, the British royal family; and Baroness Annet Cohorn. The title is not only an affirmation but also a stimulation motivation for Mr Hu to reach higher accomplishments. Let’s look forward to his next higher achievement!
