London Fashion Week。|| Ji Cheng吉承 + Fashion Film Festival ||

我一直覺得我能在倫敦看到吉承的秀是命中注定好的！我也覺得現在在讀這篇文章的你也會想我為什麼要大老遠的跑去倫敦看一個上海設計師的秀。嗯哼...作為一個旅居上海的部落客, 其實蠻榮幸可以看到上海設計師在國外努力的成果還有其中的感動。再說, 這也是我作為部落客以來第一篇時裝周回顧文（害羞）, 當然要彭場華人設計師們啦!!

It's definitely the fate took me to see this brilliant Shanghainese designer, Ji Cheng's show in London. I know you, who is reading this right now might be thinking why I flew all the way to London and see a show that's from Shanghai. Oh well, as a blogger based in Shanghai, it's a honer to see how those talented designer do in London Fashion week, and also to be proud of them here.  I am also very glad that this is my very FIRST show report for my blog.

這場秀是由一個短片作為開場, 花團錦簇的花園, 紅唇, 還有高跟鞋加上中國風十足的背景和中國戲曲, 感覺好像來到中式的秘密花園一樣。當燈光再度亮起, 一位身穿紅色洋裝的模特緩緩步入T台, 就像剛剛短片裡的女主角走出銀幕似的。整個<<牡丹亭>>系列從紅黑白色系開始漸漸再轉入由薄荷綠, 米白還有亮粉色組成的柔美色系。我感覺這就像是中國女性的特有性格一樣：剛柔並濟。整個系列的廓行也延續了這樣的感覺：優雅高貴卻也細膩可愛。從連體褲, 立體花朵洋裝還有提花大衣, 用了很多柔軟布料加上特殊肌理的搭配。在細節上, 飾邊還有打結我都好喜歡; 尤其是小流蘇的細節, 細膩又有品位。（是的, 流蘇又回來了）整個系列在結尾出現了一位女歌手, 用她柔美的歌聲帶領我們再次回顧整個系列。真的是個充滿東風韻味的驚喜。

It stared with a film that filled with garden, red lips, flowers and red heels with transitional Chinese opera singing as background, which makes you feel like you just jumped into a Chinese version of secret garden. Then the light went out, came back with this model dressed in red, just like the character walked out from the film. The collection, Peony Pavilion, starts with black, red and a hint of white. then fellowed with softer colours like mint and cream white mixed with bright pink. That for me is representing Asia girls character: tough appearance and soft heart. The silhouette are elegant and playful at the same time. Like the jumpsuit, fabric flower dress and jacquard coat, with soft/light fabric mixed with textures. Details of binding and knotting are something I enjoyed very much, especially the adding of tassels, sophisticated and delicate. (and yes, tassels are back again). The collection ended with a Chinese singer with her beautiful voice came out with models, gave the show another lovely surprise.

這天結束之前, 我和超級好姐妹Vivian去參加倫敦時裝周內的一個時尚電影節, 看無聲電影。（愛死Vivian讓我有這特別的一晚!! ）雖然那天晚上整個冷到不行 （六度!! 典型的英國天氣...）但我們還是很開心, 有一對可愛的服務生送上的爆米花作伴, 還跟一群人一起戴上耳機看電影....真是為我的倫敦服裝周畫下完美句點。（拍手～）

At the end of the day we went to this Fashion Film Festival in St. Martin Court Yard, that also taken place during London Fashion Week with my dearest friend Vivian. (who booked it for us!! love her!!) Even that night was freezing outside, (around 6 degree only in the evening, weather in London huh?) We enjoy the film and the company of hot popcorn, served by good looking waiter and waitress, and the experience of the SILENCE film. After all, it was a great great LFW experience ever. (applause~)

BTW, 那天看的電影是1976年的“灰色花園”。 很古怪的紀錄片, 但說真的還蠻好笑的。有興趣的可以到youtube/ tudou看看。（我發現在2009年還有由Drew Berrymore主演的翻拍呢! here/ here）

BTW, the film we watched that night was "Grey Gardens" (1976). Very random documentary film I must say, but very funny indeed. See trailer youtube/ tudou. (It has a new vision by Drew Berrymore in 2009 here/ here.)
