This season, LEAF XIA has built the show into the depths of the ocean under the “Tyndall effect”. The appearance of luminous jellyfish lights up the entire deep sea, and the light and seawater blend in different shapes under the bright and dark.

The new LEAF XIA series worn by the model echoes the continuous elegant jellyfish and the colors of flowers blooming in the deep sea. Light, shadow and space are integrated and interdependent, showing the light and clear nature of the design. Colored rabbits also wear colorful flowers to breathe together on the seabed. While exploring the infinite possibilities of life, the designer also conveys the close combination of water and aquatic creatures through metaphors. There is no independent individual, and calls for people to pay attention to the relationship between people and the environment. coexist.

LEAF XIA has always been good at dealing with the balance of large-area contrasting colors and gradients, with strong integrity and rich details. Through original hand-painted printing, the flowers bloom on the radiant organza fabric, and the puff sleeves and ruffles are used to layer the girl’s innocence. The three-dimensional rose wrapped around the model’s elbow is easy and elegant in the skirt. The bow on the pendulum and the pieces of mesh yarn on the butterfly wings seem to form a light outline of a brocade of flowers in the contingency of draping. The designer uses easy cutting and overlapping gradients of multiple colors of the fabric to weave a dreamy romance reflected by the light in the deep sea for us.

This season’s makeup is smudged with dazzling and warm yellow like the sun, blooming like flowers and butterflies without borders, blurred and romantic. Purple and red rich in oriental aesthetics interpret the uniqueness and beauty of oriental girls. Through the complete modeling, the different textures and states of the LEAF XIA girls are deduced. They are delicate and soft, pure and romantic, elegant and reserved, enthusiastic and unrestrained… But they are as tough and powerful as water, growing wantonly in the face of different environments and running freely.

LEAF XIA, which has always implemented the development concept of sustainable fashion, also gave the fabric a second life this season, stitching thousands of pieces of cut fabric to form the pattern of the garment, reducing the waste caused by fabric cutting and printing plate paper. . Organza printed fabrics and conventionally discarded embryo samples are used for secondary artistic creation. Through hand-cutting, shoes and bracelets are made into headwear. Through the unlimited range of use, the environmental protection goal of zero-waste is achieved. Such creative and responsible behavior also encourages girls to break the shackles of tradition, be brave to innovate and explore, break through their own identity, face their hearts, and have a dialogue with their emotions.

It is worth mentioning that JIUDI, a cutting-edge hairdressing brand in Canada, has supported the presentation of colored hair in this season’s series. For JIUDI in her student days, LEAF XIA may be the light, but now she has also become a person who can penetrate the deep sea.

LEAF XIA has created a dreamy and romantic deep-sea journey for us with relaxed design and draping, and an immersive visual impact. It shows the further integration of clothing and technology, and deeply explores the coexistence of people and the environment, and the countless possibilities of life. Encourage girls to face their inner world in the moment, discover and show their unique and colorful selves.
In the future, I expect LEAF XIA to continue to use the power of color to think and convey beauty, become the firmest and softest crystal castle in the hearts of girls, and let each girl become that visible light to warm each other.
