VIP Class Notes (JJ)

1. My favorite designer brand is Susan-fang.The first impression it left me is fairy and dream.The first time I know Susan-fang was when I browsed little red book.Those pictures took in Shanghai Fashion Week are absolutely stunning.Her works including dresses and ornaments are quite recognizable.Susan is constantly inspired by the charm of nature and perception of beauty to carry out each collections.Her vision is not guided by a trend or style or even an aesthetic, but in overwhelming the realm of design is to express a mirage of artistic illusions.She studied Chinese philosophy of the past especially Yi-Jing.As we can see, many designers claimed that they learned a lot from Chinese philosophy, maybe some of them really did, those designers used its surface elements.However,Susan use its core to interpret Chinese philosophy.
She designed an entirely new fabrication called “Air-wave”.It is a fabric that is simultaneously 2-D and 3-D, automatically stretching to every movement of the body.The fabric is woven from strips of fabric, then pattern cut into squares to keep waste to a minimum.
Susan doesn’t know much about their client portrait, only rough imagination.Maybe these clients have a good eye for fashion and art, but they are not that sexy.
If you also like Susan-fang, you can check it on label hood,or you can see it at offline buyer’s stores.

Her works including dresses and ornaments are quite recognisable. Susan is constantly inspired by the charm of nature and perception of beauty to carry out each collection. Her vision is not guided by a trend or style or even an aesthetic, but in overwhelming the realm of design is to express a mirage of artistic illusions.

Susan doesn’t know much about their client profile, and only uses rough imagination. Maybe these clients have a good eye for fashion and art, but they might not be interested in revealing clothing.

2.

So far the best-ever trip is to Melbourne, which is a quiet city I like. Melbourne is know as “Garden State”,so when I explored the city,I found many gardens, such as Carlton Gardens,Royal Botanic Gardens.Those gardens provided a lush environment and a peaceful retreat for me.The most important reason I like Melbourne is that it’s the successful integration of the humanities and the natural.It means that not only you can go to park, but you can also visit art gallery and museum,You can even sit in front of the gallery, eating hamburger while looking at beautiful sunset.It reminds me of a beautiful sentence-Every sunset brings the promise a new dawn.
The another reason why I’m so into Melbourne is that it’s a shopping paradise for shopaholic.Quite a few outlets and shopping mall satisfied my shopping desire.I bought a pair of UGG shoes with a reasonable price.The boots is the most frequently used in the winter cuz it can keep my feet warm.I also buy a lot of dresses in the shopping mall of CBD.I do really like the style and the cut of those dresses and they fit me well.
To the end, my memories about Melbourne is full of joy cuz I had a happy time with my bff.A vacation is supposed to be a time when you get away from work and recharge.I hope you will like Melbourne too.
