"I have deep feelings for the big wave cup!" Wu Haiyan, professor and doctoral supervisor of China Academy of fine arts and winner of the 5th Golden Summit Award of Chinese fashion design, said. As a judge for more than ten years, Wu Haiyan witnessed the transformation of the competition. She believes that both the theme setting and the schedule planning of the competition keep pace with the development of the times. The competition reflects the education level and personality of the new generation of designers. The contestants' creation of Oriental elements from surface design to in-depth research, their persistence in sustainable materials and their concern for environmental protection fabrics just reflect the industry changes of China's clothing industry for more than ten years. "Big wave Cup" is the "wind vane" of the industry trend.

If a qualified work is compared to a carriage, creativity is the driving force, and design and commerce are wheels. If the works want to reach the shortlisted standards, the "carriage" should not only have a bright appearance, but also be able to gallop across the battlefield. In order to better realize the commercial landing and make the creativity "people-oriented", the competition system of "Dalang Cup" in 2022 will be adjusted: in the process of soliciting contributions, two sets of creative works and two sets of commercial works will be submitted. The new competition system comprehensively examines the ability of athletes to transform their creativity into business.

Yu Xizi, one of China's top ten fashion designers and co-founder, director and design director of lalabobo, a light luxury brand, said that the change of competition rules would directly and effectively enhance the commercial value of her works. "It's very rare that most commercial works take into account the lifestyle of contemporary people," she said

Lu Xiya, member of Fashion Art Committee of China Fashion Designers Association and founder of fashion brand bronze Lucia, who is popular among "post-95" and "Post-00" consumers, participated in the preliminary evaluation of "big wave Cup" for the first time. The brand has won the hearts of countless young people in the consumer market. Lu Xiya constantly sees high-quality works in line with young people's aesthetic taste in the preliminary evaluation, especially the contributions with different materials and high degree of completion of sets, which are especially favored by her.

"Oriental" is the unique event IP of "big wave Cup" since it was founded in 2011. If the competition is personified, the oriental element is "blood". After 12 years of hard work, this year's competition will integrate the East with science and technology. Under the global "meta universe" boom, the competition takes the lead in rooting the Oriental Spirit in the virtual world. The organizing committee specially invited he Qiubo, CEO of Beijing Yuanshang technology company, to participate in the preliminary evaluation. Beijing Yuanshang science and Technology Co., Ltd. is deeply engaged in AI fashion design and image display. He Qiubo takes digital technology as an important evaluation standard. "In the early stage, the concept of" meta universe "is the application of technology, and the later stage is in-depth study of various majors. The competition leads to the oriental cultural highland in the field of science, so that fashion design has a broader space in the virtual world."

In the preliminary evaluation of the competition, some judges paid attention to whether the creativity of the works was unique, some valued whether the practical links could be realized, some evaluated according to the cost of production, and some focused on whether it was convenient for cross-border cooperation... A work often produced a variety of opinions. After careful selection and multiple rounds of screening, these 30 shortlisted works were finally promoted successfully.

At the same time, there are also some "big wave Cup" winners and participants, who grew up with the competition and gave full recognition and support to the competition. In particular, the participation of mature designers makes the competition more intense.

Almost half of the 30 athletes who have been promoted to the special training camp are designers who have worked in enterprises for many years or founded their own brands.
