Ms. Grace Chen, a famous fashion designer, believes that a person’s imagination is cultivated from reading books, and literature is life and metaverse. “Dream of Red Mansions” represents the classical realm of life in the hearts of every Chinese.

The mist rises and the light and shadow cascade. Different from conventional fashion shows, this season GRACE CHEN will create an immersive dream stage of Red Mansions interlaced with virtual and real.
The lights dimmed, and after a moment of silence, Baoyu, dressed in white and with a red umbrella, appeared on the stage with the sound of thunder and rain. Tonight, as a bridge between the past and the present, he connects the Dream of the Red Chamber written by Cao Xueqin hundreds of years ago with the present. Looking around in a daze, muttering to himself, he didn’t know where he was, and he didn’t know why the “electronic product” that lit up in his hand had “Yi Hong, Quick Green” written by him.
At this time, a woman slowly appeared on the stage. She was wearing a misty green gauze dress, and her eyes indifferently skipped Baoyu who was surprised and surprised. Baoyu called “Sister Lin, is that you”, and hurriedly put the umbrella on top of her head. However, Daiyu was unmoved and passed him by. Baoyu chased after him, and dropped a red umbrella in Taichung…
The music gradually rose from all directions, announcing the official start of the catwalk.
The color of the millennium is still the same, look at the wind at this time
GRACE CHEN carefully extracts traditional Chinese colors, combines the scenes and images in “A Dream of Red Mansions”, and uses modern design language to describe the scenes and characters in the Grand View Garden. The pure moon white like the white begonia chanted by Daiyu, the rich vermilion like the red plums folded by Baoyu, and the delicate pink that reminds people of “the east wind is soft outside the peach blossom curtain” at first sight, and there are also clear blue, light yellow, and jet black. , green and blue… These colors have never lost their charm over time, and they tell the beauty of traditional Chinese art and culture.

The Xiaoxiang Hualuo dress, which uses the three-dimensional embroidery technique of falling flower lace, is inspired by the Xiaoxiang Pavilion where Daiyu lives: winding paths lead to secluded places, with a few clumps of bamboo faintly accompanied by the sound of wind and rain. The designer extracted the traditional Chinese colors – sky blue and stone green, and silk and organza were intertwined to create a sense of secluded green bamboos and gurgling streams. The snow-white lace flowers are decorated in it, like falling petals, endowing the fashion with the dreamy elegance of Xiaoxiang fairies.

The mother and daughter joined hands to create a soul-stirring show!
