Puyuan Town has also been given the positioning goal of high brand quality in the fashion industry, and has been striving to improve the market scale and energy level and enrich the fashion industry. Now, Puyuan sweater is on a new journey along the international and fashionable development path.

He hoped that with the help of the platform of "Puyuan Cup" Knitting Designer Competition, more designers, fashion elites and entrepreneurs could be attracted to join the development tide of Tongxiang's new fashion industry. Tongxiang will take a more active stance, introduce more flexible policies, promote the fashion transformation of the sweater industry, and provide quality services for entrepreneurship and innovation.

The "Puyuan Cup" competition has been going all the way. After seven sessions, it has become a shining youth in its prime. There is joy, harvest and growth, and it can not be separated from the help of many excellent enterprises in the industry. With a strong sense of industry responsibility and excellent professionalism, as the most powerful partners of "Puyuan Cup", China Knitting Computerized Flat Knitting Machine Application Technology Research and Development Center, Tongxiang Puyuan Woolen Sweater Vocational Technical School, Zhejiang Jiaxing Tiwei Fashion Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Qianqiu Knitting Clothing Co., Ltd., Xiamen Xinhengrong Clothing Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Qianshengxi Clothing Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Bolun Fashion Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Jieman Clothing Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Yiyang Clothing Co., Ltd Zhejiang Dongqi Textile Group Co., Ltd., Shanghai Langkun Textile Co., Ltd., Shanghai Xinnuo Clothing Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Lugang Technology Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Xin'ao Textile Co., Ltd., Hebei Nanguan Technology Co., Ltd., Threading Wire Network They are the "heroes" behind the "exciting fabric" of this competition.

How to lock the champion of professional jury

This time, the sponsor of the competition still provided a strong "Tiantuan" review team, inviting seven outstanding experts, college professors and brand designers in the industry to form an authoritative review team: Qu Jing, chairman of the jury of the competition and vice president and secretary-general of China Knitting Industry Association, Liu Xiaogang, professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Fashion and Art Design of Donghua University, Lin Qiwei, design director of Ordos Cashmere Group, Zhang Yichao, winner of the "Golden Summit Award" and founder of the collection and designer platform, and Ge Chaoqun, director of knitting products of Guangzhou Exceptional Clothing Co., Ltd, Chen Xi, the design director of Yaying YAYING, and Liu Yanjun, the founder of "JUNNE" brand, one of the top ten designers in China.

Qu Jing, Chairman of the Competition Jury, Vice President and Secretary General of China Knitting Industry Association When commenting on the competition, I first expressed my gratitude to the governments of Tongxiang City and Puyuan Town for their continuous support for the competition. Under the guidance of seven consecutive "Puyuan Cup" competitions, a large number of mature design talents have emerged in China's knitting industry. Especially in the sixth session, professional groups have been set up, which has attracted the active participation of many college teachers and enterprise designers, not only adding new design concepts and innovative presentations to the competition, It has injected new vitality into the industry's industry university research exchange and talent cultivation. In this competition, the three-dimensional design and pattern design of many works have brought new breakthroughs in garment production. I hope teachers can continue to increase the cultivation and guidance of design talents in their own teaching. At the same time, the work of young designers on this platform is becoming more and more mature, and will soon get the attention and cooperation of brand enterprises. It is hoped that the idea of cultivating designers, talents and brands can continue to progress. Through this competition, more design forces and talents will be attracted to jointly promote the high-quality development of technology, fashion and talents in the industry.

Lin Qiwei, Design Director of Erdos Cashmere Group He commented on the contestants and their works one by one. He said that they were very creative and innovative in technology, color matching, scientific elements, pattern design, etc. Some works skillfully use the knitting jacquard process, flat knitting machine process, and even handwork to make the works have a sense of three-dimensional, fashion, and science and technology. Some works also break the traditional knitting techniques and creatively add various material elements for presentation. These works have strong original design and commercial transformation value. He hoped that the competition could attract more young design talents to inject new vitality into the high-quality development of the industry.

Liu Yanjun, founder of "JUNNE" brand, said that, The level of the contestants is very high, especially in the design technique. Especially in the college group, I have seen many minimalist works, which are mature and simple. As a knitting designer, more research should be done on how to design fabrics and how to present them with elements, because knitting design can not only make your own clothes, but also make completely unique fabrics, which is the core of knitting soul. Secondly, the design concept must be clear. For example, the design of aurora and seaweed is impressive. In addition, pay attention to design, and pay more attention to the expression of communication methods while expressing at the work level, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The 8th "Puyuan Cup" is ready to go

The recovery of the industry is accelerating, and the driving force is designed to reignite. "Puyuan Cup" will also continue the theme of "leading design, encouraging innovation, linking schools and enterprises, and serving clusters", constantly improve the talent exchange service platform for Chinese knitting designers, build bridges between designers and enterprises, provide in-depth services for the industry and clusters, and inject more vitality into the vigorous development of original design forces in the knitting industry.
