Shifan

Every designer who creates a brand has a story of his own behind, as does Shifan Zhang Quan. When asked about the reasons for becoming a designer, Zhang Quan’s answer was very simple: “I am a rural person. When I was a child, my clothes were left by my big brothers. At that time, I wanted to wear new clothes every day. I just had a classmate who was doing clothing in Shenzhen. I went to him and chose a costume design halfway ."

Shifan brand understands the quality of private custom-made clothing and always adheres to national brand positioning and designer original style.

Zhang Quan, the half-way designer, has his own professional vision for the apparel industry. He said: "5 to 10 years ago, it was the introduction period of China's custom brand. Now it has grown to a rising period, and consumers are customizing. The understanding has gradually increased, but the overall frequency of consumption is not high, let alone the market share. The domestic customized customization is still immature, and the business model is still in the initial stage of development."

At present, the Volkswagen fast-selling clothing brand can no longer meet the pursuit of consumers' unconventionality. Their popularity of custom clothing is rising, and customization has begun to extend from high-end to low-end. The status quo of the market gave Zhang Quan self-confidence and made him confident in the domestic customized market. “Customization represents the highest level in the industry, so the world must seize this opportunity and take a customized route.”

Shifan's customer base is mainly concentrated in the business field and mature women with financial freedom. At present, Shifan has established a complete after-sales service system, and through regular return visits, relying on big data technology to provide customers with better and more intimate services.

Chinese Women's National Costume---Cheongsam

Some people say that Chinese people should understand the history of cheongsam and socialites. It is a story of time. The memory of the Republic of China has become clear in the smile of the cheongsam woman. It has also been said that a woman should have one or a few cheongsams, elegant and eternal, swaying and swaying, and appealing to the minds of the years.

In the 1930s and 1940s, the "new cheongsam" was popular in Shanghai, the Song Dynasty three sisters, Tang Yan, Lu Xiaoman and other socialites, as well as many movie stars have a special liking for cheongsam, and popular women began to follow suit.

The protagonist of Shifan’s release is the cheongsam known as the Chinese quintessence. The brand draws inspiration from Tang Fengya’s rhyme . The design contains the grand beauty, elegant simplicity and rigorous symmetry of Chinese classical art, which retains the deep accumulation of the oriental people. The sense of belonging to history and culture; there is also a sense of calmness and tranquility in the city, and the layers are distinct, exuding the graceful and graceful style of the people, showing elegance and grandeur.

Among all the costumes in China, cheongsam is not only the most difficult to control, but also uses many traditional Chinese techniques in customization .

A good cheongsam is not only a costume, but also a beautiful piece of art.

During the interview, Zhang Quan briefed us on the structure of some traditional cheongsams and the craftsmanship involved in the customization.

"The most characteristic element of the cheongsam spirit is the silhouette, the clothes are attached to the genus, the aptitude is waisted, and the soft curves of the silhouette show that after more than half a century of evolution, it has become the most stable element of cheongsam." explain.

The details of collar, cymbals, and cymbals are also very characteristic cheongsam elements.

The common eight types of collars are general collar, penguin collar, phoenix collar, collarless, dripping collar, bamboo leaf collar, horseshoe collar and so on. When choosing cheongsam, the collar type can also be used as a reference factor. Women with short necks are not suitable for high-necked collars. For women with longer necks, there is no limit, and the scope of choice is much wider.
