Spring 2018 Collection "Aurora Girl"

The Spring 2018 Collection draws Inspiration from my time in the world's most northern city, Tromso Norway. I wanted to pay homage to The simplicity and quiet of the Norwegian landscape. The glow of snow and ice vanishing into the deep shadows of pine forests, set against the night skies flaming Arora, are proof that light can be found in the most remote places.

I was reminded of this experience while watching a scene from the 2016 film "Moonlight". A story of human experience generally overlooked in error. The film connects the metaphor of a shimmering moon reflected on the surface of deep waters, while all that is beneath remains shrouded in darkness, to the life of a man on a journey of self-discovery. This idea helped me to better understand that even in darkness there is life unknown.

This concept combines the emotions and the awareness felt when understanding is present. The intimacy of experience and the courage to explore the unknown are represented in color and texture. The clean lines and sharp cuts of the clothing bring to mind paths not yet traveled. Aurora is a combination of personal exploration and the desire to delve deeper into the world around us.

CONNECTIONSy 2018春夏⼥装系列的灵感来源于“Aurora”极光那如同幻象似的风景。设计师SHANG YANG (杨上）去到了世界上最北的城市—挪威特罗姆瑟。那⾥有终年不化的雪与冰层，漆⿊的夜，看不⻅尽头的松树林以及那美到极致、多变⼜柔软的极光。设计师坐上了“雪国列车”去往北极圈内寻找极光，一路上那一⽚片洁白的雪海中伶仃有一俩所小木屋，那如同被冰封住的⼩木屋却冒出了暖暖的炊烟，这股炊烟好似暖进了设计师的⼼里，在这看似荒凉的雪海里透着温暖的人烟，就像是无望中的惊喜，给人带来希望。“北国列车”继续前行着，穿过了那寂静的挪威森林，“每个⼈都有属于⾃己的⼀片森林，也许我们从来不曾去过，但它一直在那里，总会在那里。迷失的⼈迷失了，相逢的⼈会再相逢。”设计师想起了这句村上春树书⾥的话，静静的等待与极光的相逢，好好享受这追逐极光的过程。终于到达了目的地，当设计师亲眼看见了极光，感觉⾃己是多么的幸运可以亲身体会这如梦如幻的美景，在严寒的北极天空中嬉戏无常、变幻莫测的幻影啊，让人欲罢不能的着迷。北欧就像是一个神秘⽽又独特的女孩，于是设计师SHANG YANG 决定以“极光女孩”命名了这个系列。

设计师SHANG YANG 把这变化莫测的极光呈现在每⼀件服装上，将这个“极光女孩”带到你的面前。运用不同布料的组合，纯棉面料与真丝欧根纱的融合让服装增添了一抹神秘感；由极光的光谱为灵感设计的独特印花，运⽤了几何对称的元素，采⽤了数码印花技术；创新的剪裁方式，流线型的剪裁使服装视觉上更加柔美；曲线与直线的碰撞和几何元素体现出抽象个性的生活。设计师通过这样的设计语⾔使服装呈现出神秘多彩、嬉戏无常、就像极光摇摆在严寒的北极天空中一样。“极光女孩”这一系列是为知性且感性的现代女性所设计的。设计师SHANG YANG除了希望可以呈现出极光独特的美，更深层的思考是感官的新起点，在这静谧的宇宙中感受自我的存在。
