Jie Wu at ang mesh ng pagkakakilanlan, emosyon, at tela
Mga Salita ni Matthew Burgos
Ang poignance ng pagkatao ni Jie Wu ay lumilipas sa kanyang kasining. Ito ay bumubuo ng imahinasyon ng pagsaliksik sa sarili na naipalabas sa pamamagitan ng paglalantad ng kanyang panloob na mga saloobin. Ang kadalisayan ng kanyang representasyon at pagmumuni -muni ay humuhubog sa mga admirer ng kanyang mga disenyo. Kapag ang isang onlooker ay nakakandado ang kanilang mga mata sa kanyang mga nilikha, Maaari nilang makita ang kanilang mga sarili na nag -uumapaw sa kanilang mga emosyonal na paglalakbay, pagpapakita ng isang thread ng koneksyon sa pagitan ng tagagawa at manonood. Ang Gush of Consciousness sa kanyang Craftsmanship at Ang Tiwala sa Kanyang Pagkakakilanlan Panatilihin ang Kanyang Malikhaing Etos at Malakas na Pagdisenyo.
Ang dedikasyon upang manatiling may kamalayan sa kung sino siya ay pinapayagan ang taga-disenyo na nakabase sa London na mag-eksperimento sa iba't ibang mga pamamaraan upang mailabas ang kanyang pagkatao. Ang mga seams, ang mga thread, At ang churn ng machine poking hole sa tela ng isang milya sa isang minuto na pasensya sa santuario kay Jie, kung saan makikita mo ang kanyang pugad sa kanyang mga musings.
Ipinakilala niya ang kanyang koleksyon ng payunir 2019 may karapatan sa akin, Aking sarili, At ako. Ang antolohiya ay tumingin pabalik sa mga paghihirap ng taga -disenyo at mahalagang mga oras sa buong buhay niya. Para sa koleksyon, Siya dabbled sa spectrum ng emosyon na naramdaman niya sa kanyang paglalakbay bilang isang tagalikha, isang artista, at isang mag -aaral, Pag -aagaw ng pinaka matingkad at masigla bago mabutas ang mga kasuotan sa mga impluwensyang ito. Sa pamamagitan ng koleksyon, Pinayagan siya ni Jie ng malikhaing at emosyonal na daloy upang mag -iwas nang walang tigil at walang pinag -aralan.
Ang katapangan ng kanyang paggawa ay nagbubuhos nang walang hanggan. Sa 2020, Pinagsama ni Jie ang kanyang pangalawang koleksyon na nagdadala ng pamagat "Sa pamamagitan ng aking kristal na bola." Her inspiration in designing the successor mirrors the plethora of sentiments she burrowed in herself before the commencement of her Master's Degree in Fashion Design Womenswear at Central Saint Martin. Plunging into the unknown before she could even step inside the university ushered in a dash of hesitancy and a scoop of excitement in her mind. To unshackle the repressing thoughts that hinder her headway, Jie sought her muse from a persona she revered with an immense fondness: Marie Antoinette.
As she rifled through the lush and grand visuals of the penultimate Queen of France and permitted the catchphrase "let them eat cake" to run her fashion designs and patchworks. Jie grounded her footing in identifying why she cradled against the warmth and frost of her reluctance to foreign endeavors. She molded her collection as a vessel to paint her ideal future self. Like Marie Antoinette, she dips into a mindset of enjoying the present instead of ruminating what might happen next. Thanks to the French Queen, her ideology revolves around taking the reins of ruling her life the way she envisions and desires it. No longer will she crawl in the corner of her safe haven, but dash towards her nostalgic past, wistful present, and uncertain future.
"Since I wanted to narrate who I am, I adorned my collection with a tinge of oriental heritage and details as an ode to my roots. The influences drawn from my life experiences unraveled. The bit of my story as someone originating from China before moving abroad was portrayed through the elaborate silhouettes and the transition in the details of the fabrics, signalling my journey to change," Jie tells Blanc Magazine.
Such a string of ethos appears vivid in her anthology of Jie-meets-Marie-Antoinette. Both personas' lustful eccentricity erupts into deep shades of purple, pale hues of pink, beige and blue, sultry black, and vibrant red. Androgynous models don the ballooned and draped silk-like fabric meshed with chiffon, dainty, and see-through materials.
With such elegance crafted for anyone, no wonder Jie's law follows designs and aesthetics that communes with romance, beauty, and inclusivity. As she tells Blanc Magazine, garments know no gender and age in her wonderland as they hierarchize the practice of staying true to self. By such a theology, personalities evoke diversity.
When she attempts to depict the person she is, Jie explains that she is direct, shy, and impractical. For a designer whose quotation to self encompasses "the most difficult thing in life is to know yourself," she captures the virtuosity of her intuitions. She cultivates them to bloom as outfits that exhibit her true nature. Even though she might point out the collision of reflections that seem to muddle in her heart and mind, she knows what she strives to demonstrate and how to bring it forward. If anyone feels unsure of their identity or questions themselves on how to wield their past, present, and future, Jie Wu sweeps in to haul them out from their stupor and fine-tune the identity they possess to find their answers.
