"Lan Xi Xiu Costumes", Traditional Costumes Embroidered New World.

 

This reporter recently, the reporter came to Shaoxing Lanxi Clothing Design Co., Ltd., founder Pang Lili is receiving customers to negotiate, the other side hopes to design and produce several retro court style doll dress. Reporters saw this scene is "Lan Xi show costumes" recognized by the market as a microcosm. In recent years, with the rapid development of the cultural and creative industries, the "Lan Xi clothing" orders are uninterrupted, even in the off-season July and August.

"Lanxi clothing" was founded in 2003, mainly opera costumes, but also to undertake music and dance drama, drama, children's drama, ballet, modern drama and other dance table clothing design and production. In the company hall, apart from the costumes and cheongsam displayed, there are also showy unique headwear with beautiful shapes. "These are the headdresses worn by myself when I perform on stage." Pang Lili explained with a smile that the services they provided were not just a set of costumes, but the whole personas, including headwear, costumes, shoes and all kinds of accessories. "Take the fortune teller in traditional operas as an example, the design we offer to customers is not only clothing shoes and hats, but also the cloth bags on his back and the long streamers on his hands." On her cell phone, the reporter saw thousands of design drawings, each of which showed a complete personas.

"One character, one form, and each form has copyright." Pang Lili said that even with the same work, the costumes of the same character in different scenes are different. Costumes are nonverbal expressions. Good costumes play many roles in shaping characters, beautifying the stage, and suggestive plots. Every time we receive orders from customers, it is a compulsory course for costume design to understand and study the script. Better wear out than wear wrong. The proverb in this circle is that costume design, tailoring and production are strictly regulated. To this end, at the beginning of her career, she devoted herself to the opera in the circle, and learned from each other. On her desk, there is a thick professional book on costume design, which has been slightly yellowing because of its frequent browsing. In addition, in order to cultivate new design forces, this year, the company also specially selected new designers to strengthen learning at Minzu University of China, and was invited to attend the Beijing International Fashion Week exhibition.

In the more than 400 square meter production workshop, the reporter saw that "Lan Xi Xi dress" is not big, but it wins in "small but exquisite". From the selection of fabrics, typesetting, flowers, embroidery, gold, to cut, scrape, and production, here almost formed a one-stop production process, and the most valuable is all links pure hand-made. The most common costume will take about 10 days to complete. Excellent manual embroidery has also become a unique technology of the company. A handmade embroidered Qipao needs at least four thousand or five thousand yuan. "Talented people with old skills are hard to find." Pang Lili regrets that, in order to find the right embroidered mother, she has repeatedly moved to Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places, only to employ today's "80 after" embroidered mother.

From the two studio at the beginning of the business to the team of 15 people today, with the help of ingenuity, the way of "Lan Xixiu dress" has become wider and wider. Tianjin's Bai Pai Opera Theater "Nao Yan Fu", "Tian Xian Pei", the red clay of Beijing Opera House in Fujian, the costumes of "Hainan, the princess of West Lake" and other costumes of the Qiong opera theater, are all branded with the "Lan Xi show", showing the scene of "fragrant flowers outside the walls".
