綠色燈光/海草地毯/紅色禮物袋, 坐在巴黎大皇宮秀場的位置上等著秀開始的我, 看著在名人身上閃爍的閃光燈, 很難想像這次夏姿.陳要怎麼驚艷我們。(噢對!這次來看秀的有我小時候迷戀偶像許茹芸!! 我以前還寄給她自己畫她的素描哈哈)在過去的五年, 夏姿.陳就像是個介於西方時尚界和東方時尚界的外交官。每次都會在秋冬發佈會上給人奢華且工藝精湛的中式盛宴, 而在春夏則是色彩繽紛又活潑的浪漫優雅。這次2014春夏雖然也不例外, 但卻比期待值更高出了許多。完全沒有料到會出現內衣外穿的趨勢, 但夏姿.陳把這個大膽的穿法加上絲綢短褲/鉛筆裙, 整個變成一個好有個性的優雅造型! 這季春夏好像是一個讚詠藝術的盛宴, 從Celine的街頭插畫藝術到Prada的壁畫人物, 夏姿也用了中國戲曲臉譜藝術貫穿整個春夏系列。一件件做工精細的刺繡臉譜上, 很難不看出有畢卡索的風格在裡面, 但透過中式水墨畫的筆觸, 散發出濃濃的東風禪味。又一次玩美又優雅的中西合併!!


Green Lights/ Seaweed textured carpet/ Red goody bags, I was wondering what will Shiatzy Chen surprise us this Summer while sitting in the row and watching people taking photos of those celebrities in Grand Palais Galerie. (Must say, one of them is my childhood muse, Valen Hsu. I used to write her letter with the illustration of her I draw when I was 10.) For the last 5 years Shiatzy Chen played an amazing ambassador for both Eastern and Western fashion world. Normally she gives us luxurious crafted autumn-winter collection, and surprise us with the colorful youth in the spring-summer collection. This time, no exception but higher the expectation. Didn't see the bra-on-top coming and I was amazed how elegant it turns out with those satin shorts/pencil skirts.  This season is like a celebration of arts, look at Celine's graffiti art and Prada's mural faces. The trend has also be found in the theme of Shiatzy Chen's collection: " Oriental Opera Mask" which was easy to be spotted on the embroidered patterns. Very arty, influenced by Picasso and Mondrian, but with a twist of Chinese ink painting texture. It blend so well and so beautifully which made me Waoo during the show.


在設計總監王陳彩霞女士出來謝幕時, 我感到一股驕傲與自豪。必須說這次被邀請不在我的計劃內, 真的是很碰巧也很幸運! 所以把原定的歐洲之星的票換掉, 改掉當天的行程...這些麻煩到看完秀後知道一切都是值得的。因為這不只是一場時裝秀, 這是一個我們台灣的品牌也是一個把很多珍貴的中式工藝帶來到西方國家, 告訴他們我們也可以用悠久歷史的傳統創造出時尚創造出新的流行。BRAVO夏姿.陳, BRAVO台灣 !!! (拍手擊掌叫好)


I must say how proud I was when I saw the chief designer, Wang Chen Tsai-Hsia came out in the end. I was get invited at the very last minute of my trip in Paris, so I have to change my Euro Star ticket for it. But I know it's worth the hassles. Cause this is not only a brand from my hometown Taiwan, but also the brand that carries on the precious Chinese crafts and show the other side of world that those traditions can also be trendy. So BRAVO Shiatzy Chen, BRAVO Taiwan.
