In recent years, "new Chinese" clothing has become quite popular, not only highly recognizable and inclusive, but also elegant and traditional, which can be worn as a commuter or for various formal occasions. As the "new Chinese" clothing continues to become popular and popular in the market, this gust of wind has also blown to the seaside of Jinshan.
In the depths of the old street of Jinshanzui Fishing Village, there is such a three-story homestay with a courtyard - Jiuli Courtyard. Not far from the seaside, citizens and tourists can not only blow the sea breeze, enjoy the scenery, experience the sea fishing culture, but also find a "private customized" new Chinese clothing studio.
Converted from a guest room on the first floor of the B&B, the studio is small but has a wide range of fabrics to choose from.
Walking into the studio, the garment tables, sewing machines, etc. are placed in an orderly manner, and the customized "new Chinese" clothing and stacks of fabrics are particularly eye-catching. Zhang Ying, the manager of the studio, enthusiastically introduced her beloved fabrics, "This is woven gold satin, this is silk, this is Shu brocade, this is cloud brocade, and fragrant cloud yarn...... You see, this one on me is Xiangyun yarn. The color of the fabric of Xiangyun yarn will become dark and light over time, and it will look like a unique color when you wear it, which is very attractive."
"Luo Yi is fluttering, and the light coat is returned with the wind." Song brocade coat, Xiangyun yarn shirt, Yunjin cheongsam...... Pieces of custom-made clothing are a kind of aesthetic enjoyment just placed there, and different styles and designs can meet the needs of different age groups.
From hand-making, cutting, sewing, piping, to ironing, buckles...... Beautiful fabrics are transformed into beautiful clothes, of course, without a pair of skillful hands. In the studio, while cutting fabrics smoothly, Zhang Ying told reporters that he was actually self-taught tailoring skills, and the studio only started operating after retirement.
Out of her love for traditional aesthetics, Zhang Ying, a retired employee of the bank, found her way out of the way by reading books and watching videos. After trying to make a few sets of clothes by herself, which was recognized and loved by her daughter and friends, Zhang Ying boldly opened her own studio, "Who said that you can't have your own career after retirement, I want to do what I like now, become bigger and stronger, and experience a different life."
In the process of chatting, Zhang Ying's studio ushered in new customers, and under the word of mouth of old customers, Zhang Ying's small studio has gradually gained some "traffic" recently. Every time a guest comes, Zhang Ying will recommend suitable fabrics for them, "Different seasons, different skin tones, different age groups, you can choose different fabrics, different mumi, different gloss to make clothes with different effects." I want my guests to wear their own new Chinese clothes, and that's my sense of achievement."
In order to allow customers to choose their favorite styles, Zhang Ying's studio always purchases new fabrics on a regular basis, "The fabrics are so beautiful, I am very happy just to put them there and look at them." I hope that through my studio, everyone can interpret their own 'new Chinese' style."
