Dreams are not woven


The dream is not weaved. [Editor's note] Destiny is in its own hands. As long as we persist in our dreams, we will not stop our struggles and stand our minds, we will be able to weave that beautiful dream.
“啪啪达啪达...” The flash has risen and fallen, and dozens of photographic lenses snapped at a strange face. The protagonist of this press conference, called Gu Wenwen, is 30 years old this year. No one knows where this kid came out. He only knows that he was just in New York at the end of 2019, but it is also strange, but it is said that the international fashion design competition organized by GenArt, a leading organization, has a sense of sculpture. The uniquely lined hand-knit sweaters have repelled more than 1,000 players around the world and won the "Avantgarde Award".
Avant-garde awards come true

The message was sent back to Taiwan, and the media that had been boring since 2019 began to stir up. I heard that this kid, who is both ancient and literary, is neither ABC nor a young master who was sent out by the rich father early to study, and there is no aristocratic aura. He was born and raised in Taipei, and lost his father at the age of 3. His mother relied on being a cleaner and pulled three children up... So, when the ancients returned to Taiwan, the media swarmed.
Ancient and Wen waited for this moment, as if it had been a long time. At the press conference, he held the styling of scissors and condensed his cool eyes. Every time he slammed his head, his head quickly and finely adjusted to the next angle. Within 10 seconds, each shot was taken by him. Take care of it, that posture is like a superstar.
However, when the photo was over, he immediately turned back to a new and new human being. A reporter asked him about the price in the future. He squinted his eyes: "Which one has not talked about the price tag?" Someone asked him if he didn't use a famous brand. He replied: "I believe that I am a famous brand, I don't have to buy a brand name. Even if it is naked, I will not You must also be confident that you are right... This is the confident young man, are you right?" This kid obviously has the terrible potential to confuse the people. Not many reporters in front of him actually recalled: "Yes!"
Two years of entrepreneurship have been abused. If the lens can cross the time tunnel, returning to a day four years ago, you will see the ancient and lost texts, dragging heavy steps and returning to Jingmei’s studio. . It was dark at night, and when he entered the door, he turned the light on, then, lying on the floor, crying...
"I ask myself, what are you doing? In this life, you have worked hard, learned so solidly, and desperately put yourself into various competitions to compete with others to prove your worth. In the end, is this being trampled?"
That was in 2006, he only set up a studio for 2 years. The number of bad things encountered was unclear: the manufacturer signed the contract, but did not perform the contract; the salary was deducted, obviously his work, but told the media that this is the Korean version. As for being implied to copy Japanese magazines, it is more common. On the day of the near collapse, it was the manufacturer who wanted to design and also worked as a marketing plan. Requires zero inventory.
Fortunately, he stayed until the next year. At the beginning of 2007, Gu Wenwen went to Hong Kong Fashion Week. His coats and skirts were exaggerated, but there were Japanese buyers who had the most expensive items and asked him for a quote. "I am very embarrassed to report a very expensive price, probably three times my usual single product." He asked the buyer seven times and eight times: "Is it expensive?" The other party whispered: "Yes, zen zen. "Not at all expensive.
"I understood it at that moment! I thought that those suits could not be sold, but some people wanted to buy them." The long tunnel, the light is shining, "I see hope, I can be myself, I can still earn To the money, you can continue to design life." Be sure to go out! In September 2019, he finally entered the famous Central Saint Martin Art and Design Institute in London.
Emotional sculptures are like art
"God, this newbie designer, I have to admit, he let me sigh." Gu and Wen posted the work to the world's largest fashion design exchange website iqons. After com, overseas counterparts have expressed their admiration: "I found this skillful designer as soon as I entered the website. I completely fell down." "How has this person been swept by the radar?" Someone was surprised by his obscurity. .
Let everyone continue to scream "God" works, it is the Emotional Sculpture "Emotional Sculpture" that won the Gen Art Styles avant-garde award 10 months later. This is actually the painstaking efforts of ancient and literary five years ago. He tried a dozen materials such as non-woven fabric and rubber. He finally decided to use wool strips and directly weaved it by hand to create a 3D stereoscopic work.
According to the expert, he is woven with wool, which is both original and greatly increases his creative freedom. Generally, knitting is done from a fixed line to a tail, and it becomes a flat sweater. However, because of the use of wool, he can divide the yarn 1 into 2, 2 into 4, 4 and 8 into 8... from coarse to fine. The whole piece of clothing has a very good texture, and the outline of the clothing is not unconventional.
It’s a good idea to create a diamond. However, when Gu Wenwen was creating, he could feel a lot of doubts around him: How to sell this thing? Who will wear it? Can you wear the street? Is there an energy production of 10,000? Why are you so complicated? nobody. Including himself, you can do another second.
But for him, this is the value: "This means it is rare, make 10,000 pieces of clothes, earn a meager profit, everyone buys at will, and loses when you pass through. But when there is only one piece in the world At the time, it turned into a diamond."
"He is very committed!" The students of the Guwenwen Institute remembered that he always saw that he was doing things in his head. Other students were doing it at night, and he did it during the day. Do it at night, it is common to do three or four in the middle of the night. Even if you chat with your classmates, your hands won't stop. "What I admire most is that he doesn't care about other people's eyes. The average designer will deliberately create his own external image, take a look at the hurricane, or use a brand name to set off himself, but he doesn't care."
Not afraid of people, dare to chase dreams
GenArt is an important competition for excavating design talents. After winning the prize, Gu Wenwen is getting closer and closer to his dream of creating a brand.
He repeatedly stressed that he did not suddenly come out, but no one saw how he and his dreams were killed. "This road is in the darkness, I walked out step by step with my hands." The blood and tears on this road, too many peers "death", at this moment, Gu Wenwen is busy making spokespersons for them, he Scholarships for studying in the UK are from the British Council; tickets for attending the ceremony in New York are sponsored by the British yoga brand Agoy; the tickets for overseas competitions in the past few years have been generously funded by the seniors Gao Shuxun.
Perhaps his advice can help the well-designed juniors find the source of living water. After returning to Taiwan, Gu and Wen’s itinerary went from early morning to late night: "We have no model in this line, not like filming, there is Li An." Gu and the text promised to become a model of the fashion design world, emitting a slight light, Leading the way ahead.
