服装设计系列作品：“足球绅士”

大家好！我是十二年级的张睿许剑。在家庭环境的影响下，我从小就对服装设计感兴趣。我的祖父和姨妈经营着两家制衣厂，他们从事成衣的批量生产已有多年。因此，我在成长过程中耳濡目染，对于许多与纺织品相关的过程都很了解。因为从小对服装设计的热爱，我长期关注最新的时尚趋势，也在服装搭配方面产生了很多独到的见解。与大规模生产相比，我对服装设计更感兴趣，并希望将我的灵感转化为实践。

因此，我从高中就开始学习服装设计，为我的深造奠定了坚实的基础，尤其我在观察绘画和剪纸方面做了很多练习。此外，艺术展览也是获得高质量信息的有效途径。具体而言，它使个人可以近距离观察优秀的设计并加深对创作背景的理解。每年在上海都会举办很多展览，龙美术馆和西岸博物馆是我最喜欢的展览场地。除此之外，我还阅读了很多时尚杂志，例如VOGUE，DAZED和The Business of Fashion，创意内容总是带给我很多启发。

设计师通过艺术品展示他们的创造力，这是信息输出的过程。同时，我认为出色的设计必须得到足够的积累和信息输入的支持，这需要大量的观察和研究。如今，许多快时尚品牌倾向于每两周发布一次新系列。我认为这些产品缺乏美学。我相信设计师的任务是通过设计传达思想和美学，但是对商业利润的过分追求是对时装设计的亵渎，不利于文化创新。

Under the impact of the family environment, I have been interested in Fashion Design since childhood. To be specific, my grandfather and aunt operated two garment factories, and they engaged in the mass production of garments for many years. Therefore, I witnessed lots of processes related to textiles during my growth. Besides, I pay much attention to the latest fashion trends and have many unique ideas in dress collocation. Compared with large-scale production, I am more interested in Fashion Design and desire to turn my inspiration into practice.

Therefore, I studied Fashion Design since high school and laid a solid foundation for my further study. To be specific, I did much practice in observational painting and paper-cutting, which greatly improved my handcraft skills.  In addition, the art exhibition is also effective access to obtain high-quality information. To be specific, it provides individuals with access to observe the excellent designs up close and develop a deep understanding of the creative background. There are many exhibitions held in Shanghai every year, the Long Museum and the West Bund Museum are my favorite venues. Besides, I also readmany fashion magazines, such as VOGUE, DAZED, and The Business of Fashion,creative content always brings me lots of inspiration. More specifically,designers present their creativity through artworks, and it is a process of information output. 

Meanwhile, I believe that great designs must be supported by sufficient accumulation and information input, which requires lots ofobservation and research. Nowadays, many pop-up brands tend to launch newseries every two weeks. In my opinion, these products lack aesthetics. I believe designers' mission is to convey ideas and aesthetics through designing,but the excessive pursuit of commercial profit is blasphemy against fashion design and not conducive to cultural innovation.

此外，我于2018年参加了帕森斯暑期学校，这使我能够提前体验到真实的美国大学教育体系，与富有创造力的个人的互动也带给我很多启发。在小班制的背景下，我们与导师和其他学生有更多的互动。在某种程度上，这是我们交流思想，取得进步的有效方法。我喜欢表达和与人交流，我相信同行也可以给我们带来启发。因此，小组讨论和活跃的气氛可以为我提供积极的学习动力。将来，我希望成为一名优秀的设计师并建立一个时装品牌，以充分发挥我对时装设计的热情。

此外，我设计的独特之处在于强烈的视觉冲击力，这已经反映在我的作品之中。在“足球绅士”系列作品的情绪板中，我尝试使用鲜艳的色彩来吸引人们的注意力，留下深刻的印象。

Besides, I participated in the Parsons Summer School in 2018, which allows me to experience the authentic American education system in advance, and the interactions with the creative individuals also bring me much inspiration. In the context of the small class system, we have more interaction with the tutor and other students. To some extent, it is an effective method for us to exchange ideas and make progress. I enjoy express and communicate with individuals, and I believe peers could also bring enlightenment for us. Therefore, the group discussions and active atmosphere could provide me with positive learning motivation. In the future, I hope to become an excellent designer and establish a fashion brand, to give full play of my passion for Fashion Design.

Besides, the uniqueness of my designs lies in the strong visual impact, which has been reflected in my portfolio. For example, in the mood board of the project "Football Gentleman" , I tried to use bright colors to attract people's attentionand expect to leave them with a deep impression.

我的这个系列作品叫”足球绅士“，其灵感来源于英国的足球圈，这是一个在英国很常见的存在。是这个社会的一部分，这一部分是代表着英国底层人民的文化，而在这个世界上呢有很小部分，处于金字塔的顶尖存在，看似光鲜亮丽的，他们背后却有着不可告人的秘密。

我不禁想问: 什么样的富裕才是真正的富裕，是精神上的呢？还是物质上的呢？什么样的成功才是真正的成功，是有100个亿还是1000个亿，还是有一个非常和睦的家庭，但看似活得却非常的平庸。在我看来，你的金钱并不是唯一衡量一个人是否真正富裕的标准。比如说一个亿万富翁，在最终的临床临终前说到这辈子最后悔的事，就是创立了这个公司，因为我看到了这个世界的险恶，我的儿女为了争夺我的财产而忘记了他们是血肉相连的亲生兄弟。那一辈子不仅仅是物质上，还是精神上的。在我设计中所体现的只是其中一个例子，我想表达的是当压力来临时，面对压力的态度，也是你面对人生的态度，“适当的放松有益身心健康，而过度的放松则是反作用”。
