Features: The Chinese fashion industry has long yearned for the emergence of master-level figures, with owning their own brand and entering the international market being a dream for almost every fashion designer. However, the public's understanding of Chinese fashion designers is often limited to resume-style reports and various mixed reviews of the designers. Amidst the myriad of reports, few truly understand the stories behind the dreams of Chinese fashion designers. This book divides the development of Chinese fashion designers into three periods—before liberation, after the reform and opening-up, and the 21st century—based on the characteristics of modern Chinese history. It provides an in-depth interview with representative designers from each era, meticulously documenting the growth and pursuit of dreams of every generation of designers, as well as the advice given by the interviewees to the younger generation of designers. The book includes nearly 100 rare photographs of design works by Chinese domestic designers, many of which have never been publicly published before. This book not only helps fashion scholars and enthusiasts understand the growth journey of Chinese fashion designers but also provides valuable insights for the new generation of designers to learn from the past and realize their dream of becoming "masters" as early as possible.
