Fashion Week Snow Xue Gao: The past of women's consciousness

New York in February is still cold and chilly, but it’s not worth mentioning in the face of the recoil of the #MeToo movement that awakens women. Gao Xue, a Chinese women's designer who lives in New York, has been stationed in this incredible city for many years. From the opening banquet of the Hong Kong-style restaurant Jinfeng Restaurant to the history of the American Chinese Museum, after a year, Gao Xue found himself in the culture and culture, bringing the Snow Xue Gao 2019 autumn and winter series.

Fusion is still the key word for Snow Xue Gao 2019 autumn and winter series. Designer Gao Xue grew up in Beijing and lived in the background of New York. In her case, she was culturally diverse and had different surprises. The choice of fusion is the persistence of the designer's unique background, and it is vividly expressed in her unique stitching suit.

Gao Xue told BoF that the 2019 autumn and winter collection was inspired by the Chinese Qing Dynasty painter Sun Wen’s classic painting "Dream of Red Mansions" created by the classic masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions", "Qing Sun Wen Hua Quan Hong Lou Meng Tu", that is, the imagination of the ancient book "Dream of Red Mansions" . As the epitome of Chinese history, the magnificent landscapes, flowers and trees, tower pavilions, rare birds and beasts, boat cars, ghosts and gods and Bogu whiskers describe the ancient mountains and rivers of this great country.

From the Daguanyuan all the way down, Snow Xue Gao 2019 autumn and winter series choose to use plain silk woven fabrics and sturdy suit fabrics for splicing, while the oriental print sweaters and shirts look like a package under the power suit. Drop-shoulder jackets and 80s-inspired suits show the ingenuity of tailoring. The trousers with inner and outer silk accents complement the other fabrics, adding a modern touch to the classic silhouette.

The fusion of Chinese and Western interactions brings harmony and surprises. Simple and modern, soft and tough, women are no longer passive choices, but can choose a variety of independent individuals between left and right.

The press conference coincided with the Spring Festival. Gao Xue chose the venue in the historic Chinese Museum of the United States, which records the history of Chinese people moving overseas. The progress of cultural integration has enabled overseas Chinese to experience the joy of the Spring Festival, but it still evokes the homesickness and nostalgia of this special group of people. Gao Xue once told BoF during the release of OPPO X Snow Xue Gao's fantasy new year series: "I think Chinese people attach more importance to the Spring Festival than any country pays attention to the festival. The ritual sense of the Spring Festival is quite important." Being in this modern New York, interweaving China's bit by bit with the Western situation is Gao Xue's understanding of his own identity.

At the launch of the OPPO X Snow Xue Gao Fantasy New Year series, Gao Xue said that the cooperation with OPPO is a brand new attempt. After so many years of contact with the Western world, she hopes to integrate her culture into the background. More to Chinese consumers. Going home is the most affectionate part of the Spring Festival of the year. It is expected that the designers will bring back not only fashion but also the cognitive awakening brought to contemporary Chinese women.
