On the runway, cute children appear and honey melts... As the Vice Chairman of the China Fashion Designers Association and the winner of the "Golden Summit Award", renowned fashion designer Chen Wen cannot let go of children's clothing. He collaborates with professors Cui Yumei and Luo Jingjie from the School of Fashion and Art Design at Donghua University to guide students in designing children's clothing with a foreign style, attempting to combine diverse fabrics with current diverse styles, presenting a linkage and integration between traditional shapes, sports and leisure, and childlike colors.
Will this kind of children's clothing be popular next year? Donghua University · Contemporary Inheritance Studio of Chinese Excellent Clothing Culture has launched the "Children's Clothing Class · Time Color palette" activity, and released the 2024 Shanghai style children's fashion trend during the 6th China International Children's Fashion Cycle of CCFW.
The Jiefang Daily Shangguan News reporter learned that the static exhibition of "Children's Clothing Class" combines the 2024 trend with the Shanghai style children's lifestyle, and forward-looking constructs four major trend themes: "Classic Inheritance", "Natural Environmental Protection", "Practical Sports", and "Technology Empowerment". Among them, the national style is still strong and popular.
Under the theme of "Classic Inheritance", children's fashion trends provide a modern interpretation of classic children's clothing to meet the main demands of fast-paced and efficient modern society. The designer believes that the popular children's clothing of this theme retains the strong symbolic and decorative parts of the classic format, combined with the high productivity and high functionality parts of modern culture, and inherits and innovates on the basis of fully preserving the classic culture of children's clothing.
In the dynamic exhibition section of the "Children's Clothing Class", small models also appeared on stage and joined the fashion show. In Hangzhou Yishang Town, exquisite and cute qipaos bring Suzhou embroidery technology into the world of children's clothing, weaving Chinese civilization and traditional culture onto children's bodies. During the exhibition, not only did Chen Wen's clothing pieces highlight the modern parent-child lifestyle under the fast-paced urban light and shadow, but the Senma school uniform brand "Hey Junior" also adopted a variety of styles such as traditional Chinese school uniform improvements, avant-garde practical sports series, and European classical suits, striving to practice the path of "aesthetic education". The designer brand Chen Yan CHENYAN, who mainly focuses on new Chinese high-end clothing, used traditional floral patterns as embellishments to showcase the charm of Eastern aesthetics from clear and elegant classical colors to elegant and gorgeous Chinese clothing fabrics. There were also a series of children's clothing from Donghua alumni brands such as "Poco Blush", which were full of playfulness. Animals, rainbows, graffiti, and flowers decorate the childlike era, leading to the door of endless imagination
As one of the overall coordinators of the event, Professor Bian Xiangyang, Vice Chairman of the China Fashion Designers Association and Director of the Shanghai Textile and Apparel Museum at Donghua University, interpreted other themes related to the 2024 Shanghai style children's fashion trend. For example, the reason why the theme of "natural environmental protection" is popular is because in the post pandemic era, rebuilding inner order and maintaining physical health have become new concerns. Children get close to nature and integrate into it when exercising outdoors. Therefore, the use of green and functional technological materials has become a new trend in children's clothing, effectively saving energy consumption and reducing carbon emissions, and implementing sustainable lifestyles.
For example, the theme of "Practical Sports" is mainly due to the fact that Healthy China has become a national strategy, and in the future, consumers will pay more attention to the health attributes of products. Functional children's clothing that is practical, protective, and comfortable will become the first choice for parents to consider for their children in the long term. The fabrics under this theme focus on durable, anti-static, antibacterial and other functions, complementing the personalized and sporty styles of children's clothing.
In addition, the theme of "technology empowerment" is particularly noteworthy. In the coming years, artificial intelligence technology will give birth to new forms of creation, and major brands will fully utilize technological elements in fashion design, looking forward to the digital era and future cities. In children's clothing design, minimalist and futuristic designs, using environmentally friendly and renewable fabrics with a sense of breathing, have become a new trend, presenting a perfect symbiosis between technology and nature.
"We hope that 'children's clothing classes' will have a better future and make better industrial contributions. For many years, the Contemporary Inheritance Studio of Chinese Excellent Clothing Culture has established an" N+1 "model through good cooperation between fashion designers and university resources, which includes" famous designers+historical theory teachers+practical teachers+other interdisciplinary teachers "to jointly guide students in completing design practice. Chen Dapeng, Vice President of the China Textile Industry Federation, stated during the visit that discussing and researching the cutting-edge trends of contemporary children's fashion, especially highlighting the new concept of collaborative progress between university education, traditional Chinese clothing culture, and the children's clothing industry in the event, has a significant industrial leading role.".
