How to lock the champion by professional jury

This time, the organizers invited seven outstanding experts, university professors and brand designers from the industry to form an authoritative jury: Qu Jing, chairman of the competition jury, vice president and Secretary General of China Knitting Industry Association, Liu Xiaogang, professor and doctoral supervisor of School of fashion and art design of Donghua University, Lin Qiwei, design director of Erdos Cashmere Group, and won the "Golden Top Award" Zhang Yichao, founder of dezhe, hejizhi and designer platform, Ge Chaoqun, knitting product director of Guangzhou exceptional Clothing Co., Ltd., Chen Xi, design director of YAYING YAYING, and Huang Gang, general manager and design director of Huang Gang, China's top ten fashion designers.

On the scene of the final, the authoritative jury expressed their unique opinions on the works of this "Puyuan Cup". They analyzed and commented on the works with their own professional experience for many years.

Qu Jing, chairman of the jury of the competition, said that under the guidance of six consecutive Puyuan cup competitions, the research on the trend of flat knitting works and the updating of design concepts have already reached a certain scale in China's knitting industry. This year's competition also set up a professional group, with many college teachers and enterprise designers actively participating, which is a very good driving force to promote industry university research exchanges and cultivate new generation designers. At the same time, the Management Committee of Puyuan Knitting Industrial Park increased the support of policies and funds, which also made the contestants of the competition full of passion. Under the advocacy of the industry and the promotion of "Puyuan Cup", the design elements and design concepts of our knitting industry were more artistic and practical.

Liu Xiaogang said that the difference between "Puyuan Cup" and many national competitions is that the support for designers is very strong. Behind each group of works, there are 2-3 different enterprises providing yarn support and production support for contestants. As the judges from colleges and universities, I hope that the students' contestants will have a heart of gratitude. Many knitting enterprises are busy with the ordering meeting, but also help students complete the entries. Therefore, no matter after the competition or in the future work, we should thank these enterprises for their efforts.

No.6 work of university group "fishing"

Chen Xi also mentioned that there are many creative highlights in this competition. An excellent knitting work, creative ideas must be derived from the basis of fabric design extension. On the basis of good creative weaving, it is very important to learn to balance the dimensions of color, contour, craft and handcraft. Now knitting has evolved from a single interior to a diversified variety, with unlimited expansion possibilities. I hope that more creative knitting talents will emerge in the competition to help the industry.

Huang Gang said that compared with previous years, the overall level of this year's entries has improved qualitatively. The theme of this year's "restart" is to restart people's yearning for a better life, and let the knitted works radiate new artistic beauty and various design possibilities. Some of the contestants' works have a strong sense of the whole series, some depict the knitting texture around things, and some try bionic design techniques, which are worth encouraging. Knitting design is not to do some meaningless pile up, the design of the market is highly respected.
