If you pass by new york that day,
Maybe you will see those two strange girls in the street.
A big cloak with a sword on its back,
Just like the heroine in China's costume drama.
After about 1 hour,
That knight's costume stepped onto the fashion runway.
Won the best design of the year by the top fashion institute in the United States,
They,
Sure enough, it is not a simple fashion.
Take off, pull, buckle,
It became a backpack.
Or,
It became such a tent.
As for the one that has attracted the most attention,
A cotton-padded jacket with yohji yamamoto flavor,
As it turns out,
This is a sleeping bag.
It's amazing.
In the sonorous music, the audience applauded.
Angela Luna, 22, stood in the center of the runway.
Shaking with laughter.
It's just, as expected,
This fashion,
She is actually designed for Syrian refugees!
Before that, luna was the girl who wanted to design evening dresses.
Prada, Dior, Channel ... When it comes to big-name seasonal models, Luna has always been a good hand. Squatting in the material room all day sewing skirts and beading clothes, her wish has not changed since she entered the top fashion college in the United States.
After four years of hard work, she got the signing opportunity of Abercrombie&Fitch, a big American brand, very early, and was waiting to graduate.
However, when Luna saw it in front of the TV, ...
That day, she had nothing to do, so she lay on the soft sofa in Massachusetts with her father and watched TV. Her chewing mouth suddenly stopped when her father jumped off the platform. A photo appeared in front of my eyes-a photo that once shocked the world.
A little boy in red lay on the beach and died quietly.
The boy's name is Alan, and he is the child of a refugee.
Like many other refugee children, he and his family wandered around to escape the war. They fled from their hometown Syria to Turkey, and then took a boat from Turkey-they were going further to Greece. Away from the war, a new life is coming. The family was quarrelling excitedly on the boat, and the boy was coquetry with his mother's milk.
A big wave came and the boat capsized ... Alan died before he could swallow the cake in his mouth. All the family members were killed except the master.
That year, more than one child died, and how many escaped men and women were flooded, blown away by strong winds and frozen to death in the snow.
Thought of here, Luna's heart was inexplicably stuck.
For everyone, where you will go will only happen one day in the future, but they will face displacement and family destruction every day. ......
She turned her head and asked her father, "should I continue to do fashion design?" We talk seriously about $4,000 Prada pants every day at school, but we don't care about these things at all. "
Is it really interesting to design clothes every day, for the rich and for the desire? Luna began to doubt herself.
"The clothes I want can play a bigger role, not just beautiful and worn-out clothes."
A $4,000 Prada pants and evening dress design road, an easy job that Luna didn't want. She wants to change and design a dress that can help millions of people who are displaced and struggling on the edge of life.
But when luna told his mentor the idea, the mentor swept his face. "It's too risky, luna, this is not what you are good at. Your design may be terrible, you may not be able to design the clothes you want, and your job may be lost. "
But luna thinks he is doing the right thing, and he is willing to bear it even if he fails.
Luna knows that such a design is unthinkable for her who can only design evening dresses. But it's decided, let's do it.
During that time, almost no one saw the shadow of luna. The girl went to the library with food on her back in the early morning and didn't go back to the dormitory until it was dark. She looked up many articles, collected photos and briefings, and visited charities that witnessed refugee scenes. She wanted to find a solution.
After doing a lot of research, she realized that what refugees need most is warmth, safety and convenience.
If temporary accommodation at sea, warm-keeping equipment and life-saving tools can be integrated into clothes, it is possible to rescue refugees from shipwreck and survive in harsh environment.
But even if it is designed for refugees, she doesn't want the designed clothes to look like a "puffy monster", such as this one.
I have a preliminary idea,
How to realize the function?
For luna, a non-science student,
How to achieve this is a big problem.
This is not something that software can draw.
Like this cloak that can be turned into a tent.
Luna thinks clothes can be worn without stabilizer bars.
Standing on the concrete floor,
On the one hand, the choice of cloth is a problem, on the other hand, it also involves engineering mechanics, which is really a challenge for Luna who studies design.
Usually, only ironing is considered. This set of design should consider waterproof and avoid sagging. It is necessary to choose a harder fabric. The tent consists of three rectangles and two triangles, and then the cloth is supported by several detachable poles.
After constant trial and adjustment, the clothes finally stood upright.
The inflatable buoyancy jacket,
They can help themselves when they fall into the water.
To test the floatability of clothes,
The girl did experiments in the swimming pool for three weeks.
The day of graduation show is coming soon,
Luna, this group is called Design for Difference.
Functional clothing appears in a low-key manner.
But it caused a stir under the stage.
A coat that can be turned into a tent.
Wear it to keep warm during the day,
When night falls,
You can take it down and set up a tent,
Become a temporary shelter for families.
You can let the mother hold the child's jacket.
Put on a children's suspender vest,
Put the baby in,
Adults' hands can be liberated.
A coat that expands when it falls into the water.
A coat that can be turned into a backpack,
It's obviously clothes designed for refugees,
But it's beautiful.
Even if you are exiled, you should keep your dignity.
This is what fashion really looks like.
Put on this dress, and you will have a mobile home with you.
Even if they lose their homes, there is at least one thing that allows people to rest every time they stop. During their exile, they traveled across mountains and rivers every day, carrying all their belongings in their backpacks, which was also their hope for survival.
Luna said that she could not stop the war, but she could try to do something for them with what she was good at.
Because this group of fashion design works,
Luna was commended by the school.
PARSONS20 16 best female designer award,
It also caused quite a stir in the fashion world.
She and her design works appeared in the newspaper,
Concerned by the United nations refugee organization.
Not long ago, Luna received an email from a Syrian refugee.
In the email, the refugee said that she had read luna's works in the student newspaper of her new school, and she was very grateful for what luna had done. At the end of the email, the refugees marked "from all of us" (from all of us), which made luna burst into tears.
Honor and attention are not luna's main concerns. What he cares about is whether his design helps those who are suffering.
There are still many imperfections in the design. But luna has been looking for a solution.
Graduated in May with a degree in fashion design.
Luna applied for a patent for this graduation project.
And founded its own brand Adiff.
Of course, her dream is not to start a company to make money.
But to get more people involved,
Let's do it together and fulfill our responsibilities.
We live in peace,
So different from the life of refugees,
But I seldom think what I can do for them.
A 22-year-old girl plans to use design,
Change something.
"Clothes can be designed for beauty and desire.
Or for more people to live well. "
-Angela Luna
