The theme of this graduation design exhibition is “Yi Bu Yi Jing（移布亦景）”, which constructs a cross-dimensional dialogue between fashion and interior design through subtle puns. It is a brand new creation of Donghua's young design force under the international industry-teaching fusion project system, another teaching reform and experiment of the Sino-British cooperation, and the result of the college's long-term and in-depth promotion of the collaborative innovation between industry, academia, research and utilization. It is also the result of the college's long-term and in-depth promotion of industry-university-research-utilization collaborative innovation. The word “YiBu” harmonizes with ‘fabrics’ and directly refers to the core carrier of clothing design ——fabric, implying “moving fabric” and echoing the concept of three-dimensional tailoring. “Yi Jing” points to the spatial narrative and scene construction of interior design, covering both physical field and poetic context. The three-dimensional language of clothing is also the compositional grammar of walls and furniture. Through the dialectical relationship between “shift” and “also”, the exhibition reveals the formal laws shared by the design disciplines ——reconfiguring rigid space with flexible materials, and reconstructing rigid space with flowing forms.
During the creative process, students continued to explore cross-cultural fashion design in depth, emphasizing cultural self-confidence in the context of internationalization. This graduation show exhibition gathered 80 pieces of clothing creative design works by 19 students and 8 models and 25 fashion interior design posters by 21 students, presenting a design feast that integrates the concept of sustainability, technological innovation and cultural tolerance.
Shanghai International College of Fashion and Creativity (SICFC) of Donghua University deeply integrates the Sino-British international fashion education resource network, continuously optimizes the empowering effect of foreign teaching resources, and builds a globalized industry-education synergy platform that deeply interacts design innovation with science and technology, culture, and sustainable goals. Relying on the “UC project-based curriculum system”, it promotes knowledge integration with the concept of result-oriented teaching, cultivates “T-type innovative talents” with both horizontal interdisciplinary thinking of the industrial chain and the ability of vertical deep plowing in specialized fields, and through the double-wheel drive of design innovation and industrial practice. Through the double-wheel drive of design innovation and industrial practice, we will contribute youth wisdom and strength to the construction of Shanghai as a design capital, fashion capital and brand capital.
