Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The golden walls carries ancient meanings, and the contrasting vivid blue background culminates into a fashionable and trendy product combining traditional Chinese culture with the modern.
- Inspiration
- Forbidden City in Beijing (China)
- Research
- Chinese culture is one of the world's oldest cultures, originating thousands of years ago. It is mysterious for not only foreigners but also to Chinese themselves. There are too many stories behind the history and it is not that easy for all of us to read through. Therefore, I took a visit to the "Forbidden City" and "Great Wall of China '' in Beijing. During the visit, I got inspiration from there and decided to input those elements in my design products. As a Hong Kong fashion designer, I usually represent Hong Kong to participate in different worldwide Fashion Week. Through the opportunities, it is a good way to promote and to show the beauty of the Chinese culture.
- Challenge
- During the product development, there are lots of challenges to face on. For most fashion jewellery products, most of them are in gold, silver and rose gold. To achieve the ideas of blending Chinese and Western culture, I applied fashion blue color on the earrings. It is a difficult part as I never apply a special color directly on the product instead of using different color stone. After studying the process of 3D printing for a few months, I successfully applied the exact color on the earrings. Moreover, as the products are new not only to the retail customers but also to the buyers.
- Realization and Technology
- 3D printing, 925 silver with 22K gold plated.
- Operation and Interaction
