Xu Jingbo and his works in the rematch

To sum up, the "China Fashion Technology Award", especially the "golden scissors Award", is also an important award in the "China Fashion Award". It's not easy to get this honor!

Mr. Xu is a well-known master of fashion plate making in the industry. I am lucky to have the opportunity to communicate with Mr. Xu through the introduction of friends. So, here's the conversation——

"Mr. Xu, you entered the fashion industry when you were young. What's your biggest feeling after all these years of work?"

Mr. Xu: to tell you the truth, looking back over the past decade or so, the whole process is more like a process of constantly sculpting yourself and constantly learning and improving. In my work, what I feel most deeply is the craftsmanship spirit and work attitude of the masters who have been accompanying me. The master often gave up working overtime. This almost obsessive focus on the profession made me understand the charm and greatness of fashion. What kind of craftsmanship spirit should a real good garment maker have.

"What's your biggest gain from winning the golden scissors award this time?"

Mr. Xu: the field of clothing plate making I am engaged in is an extremely rigorous and meticulous process. For the aesthetics of fashion, fast fashion may not be a good choice. The experience of winning the gold medal has made me realize that if fashion aesthetics is the soul, then the skills of steadfast, industrious, tireless and steady meditation are the blood and flesh of fashion. If the ready-made clothes also have life, only the spirit of craftsman constantly seeking from within can make this life alive.

"It's said that in this selection, the overall coordination of the design and version of your works is the best. Do you have any feelings

The main purpose of this evaluation is to comprehensively evaluate the type, process and design of the plate. The competition is fierce. But when it comes to perception, the deepest thing is the selection itself. In the fashion world, technology has always been the service provider behind the scenes, providing creative support. And this kind of participation, let the skilled person can stand in the front desk, has the full display opportunity, is very good! This not only can fully tap skilled talents, but also can carry forward the spirit of craftsmanship, so that we have greater ambition and motivation to continue to move forward. That's what I really feel.

"How do you feel about winning such an award in the industry?"

Mr. Xu: Although I stand out in the competition and try to make the best of it, I still tell myself repeatedly in my heart that the results can only show your past, and can not guarantee your future. Winning the prize is just a new starting point.

I entered the field of fashion since 2001. I started as an assistant to the printmaker step by step. My hard study in my youth and my unremitting meditation on aesthetics have made me have a more profound imagination of plate making skills. It was unexpected, but not a surprise. The unremitting pursuit of fashion aesthetics and fashion skills is my constant motivation.

"Mr. Xu, do you have any insights about garment plate making? Can you share them with you?"

Mr. Xu: the realm of clothing plate making is to combine aesthetics with wisdom, personality and life, unique elements and classic style. The combination must be perfect. The significance of clothing aesthetics is to convey to life their own way of existence and the most unique strength in each person's personality. "

In a hurry to end this exclusive interview, Xu teacher's gentle temperament infected me. Although it was a short time, Mr. Xu left a deep impression on me.

A Chun thinks that attending China International Fashion Week is more like a process of looking for himself and an opportunity for self-examination. ——Looking for a style suitable for him and integrating into his own design feelings - a needle and a thread is a brand-new creation for Mr. Xu, who has attitude and temperature.

Mr. Xu Jingbo's meticulous and diligent work attitude and profound and lofty ideological realm have contributed to his inexhaustible heroic spirit and forward driving force. He should be a worthy "modern craftsman" and is working hard to create beauty.

A Chun respects Xu Jingbo.

Our society and our cause need more Xu Jingbo!
