"What is the magic of this old brand that has been for more than 20 years?"
This is the problem we are constantly guessing. Wang Ping, the designer and brand manager of the independent designer brand KING PING, wants to officially give the answer in the 2019 autumn and winter Shenzhen Fashion Week.
As early as 20 years ago, Wang Ping had already started his own creation. He was the first person to practice the original design of Chinese footwear in the designer brand. In the absence of a conservative and closed social environment at that time, the first person who dared to eat crabs in the independent design world, It is a real warrior. Not all changes are accompanied by blood, but how much suffering has been eaten along the way. When you ask him, you always avoid it. Perhaps these are not important. The most important thing is that the brand has been developed to the present and achieved results. It is obvious to all. He is a pioneer in the original design of domestic shoes. So far, KING PING's products include but not limited to shoes, clothing, bags, accessories, etc., Wang Ping has a pass.
When he was young, he decided to become a philosopher's designer. He first introduced the concept of philosophy into design, and on the basis of realizing the high artistic and aesthetic value of his works, he emphasized the output of a culture and spirit. This coincides with the main theme of this year's Shenzhen Fashion Week KING PING big show. From the beginning to the end, Wang Ping is working hard to portray the freedom of thought and design.
The freedom of the brain must first be accomplished through the freedom of the body. Therefore, the clothing worn on the body is particularly important. The fashion designers are always more than just clothes, more like a "revolution." This seemingly careless freedom behind it, but also hides Wang Ping’s "with ulterior motives."
The theme of this field: thought
Without free thoughts, what is left of mankind?
This is especially true for designers. The designer's attribute is not how much technology is possessed, but rather the rational critical consciousness cultivated by day-to-day training. Once a designer loses the freedom of thought, it is like losing himself.
This point, Wang Ping is clearer than anyone else. When foreign objects try to change you and reshape you all the time, they force you to accept mainstream values ​​and aesthetics, accept the views of the people with the loudest voices - even if that may not be logical, human, and completely contrary to your wishes. But the true liberty will always try to make his own voice as long as there is still a breath.
This is also an important reason why Wang Ping has positioned the theme of this brand show as "thought". He does not want to be the "silent majority". After the brand has gone through 20 years, he always wants to say something. In his concept, everything in time is limited, but the mind is unbounded. It can be free from any social system and without any hindrance. It constantly tries to innovate and then creates. Every thought has its necessity. And reasonableness. Therefore, the works he brought this time are also without any hindrance. The creation of all the ideas is carried out. Through the different fabrics, silhouettes and tailoring of the costumes, and the technological innovations, I have been thinking for many years. Doing things. Boldly imagine, create with heart, this is the spirit of Wang Ping.
The source of inspiration: deconstruction and cosmic wormholes
The works of the KING PING brand show are divided into three series.
The first series is inextricably linked to the universe. "wormhole", a narrow passage that may exist in the universe that connects two different time and space. Through the wormhole, you can move in the instantaneous space and have the freedom to shuttle time. Although until now, scientists have no strong evidence that wormholes really exist, but this imaginary "wormhole" theory has given designers a lot of wonderful inspiration. By hand-knitted sweaters with numerous voids, different knots can be passed back and forth to create a variety of shapes. The hollow elements that are added to the design of the shoes, a pair of shoes, can also be a piece of clothing. Each piece is unique and has several different ways of wearing it. The designer hopes to give the work a certain amount of space and space to play, and it is possible to let the audience participate in the design by having greater autonomy and interactivity.
In the second series, the designer created a "construction" based on the deconstructionism in European philosophy and cultural criticism. In the philosophical category, deconstruction is actually a critical method. The original meaning is: digestion, dismantling, and revealing. In the clothing, the designer through the artistic means, the stable clothing structure is dispelled, each deconstruction is realized as the interruption and division of deconstruction, but each deconstruction result has produced new creations. Therefore, he used a lot of ropes and belts to reorganize and reorganize. These seemingly just a little bit of detail, in the hands of the designer, cleverly turned into a piece of clothing.
Highlights of this field: 壹
The 42nd chapter of the Tao Te Ching: "Dao Shengyi, one life two, two students three, three life things. Everything is negative and yang, and the air is thought to be harmonious." Huaxia civilization has a very comprehensive understanding of the truth of the universe very early. The generalization, from Fuxi's painting to the yin and yang, to the "one", these ancient Chinese most simple philosophical theories, gave the designer full guidance and guidance.
The third series, which is also the highlight of the series, is "壹". This "壹" can be described as "one piece" in the design field, that is, a piece of fabric, a piece of leather. The designer completes a complete set of garments with a single fabric. Without the splicing and stacking between the fabrics, a fabric is folded and sewn in different ways. This "one" series of shoes is created with the first pair of human shoes as the prototype. In ancient society, the first pair of shoes of human beings was to wrap all the feet with an animal fur. The designer cuts a whole piece of leather in a difficult and complex process, with the intention of paying tribute to the most primitive imagination of mankind.
From the philosophical point of view, Lao Tzu’s "one" is the beginning, the origin of all life in the universe. “Zero†means no, and “one†means starting and searching. The designer's integration of the philosophical concept of "one" into the work seems to be speaking on behalf of himself. I hope that after 20 years of branding, I can still remember the original heart and move forward. Never satisfied, always do that "one."
Details of the game: free transformation
In the world of KING PING, the most interesting point is, how can clothes be just clothes? The designer's product of imagining is that KING PING's shoes can also be clothes, clothes can also be shoes, and even bags can be worn as shoes. This artistic creation that breaks the boundaries of design is almost impossible for many people. But in Wang Ping’s eyes, it’s fun to design such a play.
After doing the design for many years, Wang Ping suddenly realized that the original design is the relationship between things and people. With this concept, the boundaries of the design may all be broken. In his works, he can clearly feel the different concepts of architecture, space, geometry, etc. He took the lead in integrating other design ideas, making KING PING's works more than just a work, it is worth it. Collected artwork.
In the past 20 years, Wang Ping has always had his own thoughts on "freedom." In the early days of brand building, many obstacles would make him have to be shackled. But after many years, a good development model gave him the courage and strength to focus more on design. He is no longer entangled in market accommodation, no longer worry about the high cost and long-term problems of pure handwork. After all, the aesthetic and inclusiveness of this whole society is gradually improving. Now he can boldly try all the things he wants to do, all the recognition and honor he has won, thanks to himself, his team, and of course thanks to this era.
KING PING and designer Wang Ping, I would like to express to the future or the past, people will use different ways of thinking, pay tribute to this era of free art and unbounded!
