A
Mysterious Oriental Traditional Culture——An Interview to German Fabric Designer
Claudia
There are more foreigners in the 8th Textile Expo’
2007. When five foreign professional design companies from Germany, Italy
and America appeared on the textile, both the foreign designers and their
design works became the “hot” focus. Our reporter interviewed a German designer,
Claudia.
“It is a common practice to separate the fabric production and fabric design
in Europe where factories and design companies shoulder different responsibilities,
which promotes the professionalization of both sectors.” Claudia told our
reporter that, as soon as her new textile designs showed on the Textile Expo’,
many customers showed close concern on them. Although she sold few designs,
she never felt frustrated, since in her eyes, it will take a bit of time for
the textile enterprises in Shaoxing to accept designs from professional design
companies.
As for Claudia’s job, textile design, she dashed along. For different cultures
and tastes in different countries and regions, she said, the designers should
spare no efforts to satisfy the target customers’ needs and tastes. In order
to prove her idea, she produced a design work with some geometry pattern.
“This is prepared for Chinese. If I try to sell it in Turkey, I will fail
completely. ” Her design works have been sold to many markets in Europe, USA,
Middle East etc. However, in different countries, her designs will soak up
different cultural elements.
As for how to coordinate the national culture, aesthetic value and stylish
mode in target markets, Claudia said, each designer has his own Hamlet. To
Claudia, she will always try to understand the culture first through different
channels as the internet, TV, and books etc, and then complete the design
according to her personal understandings as well as the fashion trend. It
is the first time for her to come to China, when she arrived in China, a mysterious
oriental country to her, she has been cautious to everything, because China
is such a unique country. For her, as a designer, she tried to feel and remember
the difference. “Maybe my first time to China will become my source of ideas
in the future.” Claudia smiled.
