The Final Of The 10Th "Huichuang Youth" (Fashion Design) Competition Was Held In Donghua University

On April 12, the final of the 10th "Huichuang Youth" Shanghai College Students Cultural and Creative Works Exhibition Activity (Fashion Design) hosted by the Shanghai Municipal Education and Health Work Party Committee and the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission and organized by Donghua University was held in the Yifu Building Performance Hall, Yan'an Road Campus, Donghua University. 154 entries from 17 universities, including Donghua University, East China Normal University, Sichuan University, Suzhou University, Zhejiang University of Technology, and 50 groups of entries were finalists.

With the theme of "U+", this competition is deeply in line with the construction strategy of Shanghai's "City of Design". Through the transformation path of "creative expression - design sketches - ready to wear works", it effectively promotes the seamless connection between university creativity and industrial demand, builds a collaborative education ecology of "government, industry, university, research and application", and injects new momentum into Shanghai's construction of a global fashion innovation source.

The entries activate intangible cultural heritage skills through 3D printing, laser cutting and other intelligent manufacturing technologies, innovatively apply degradable fabrics and recycling technology, fully demonstrate the creative transformation of young designers to Chinese excellent traditional culture, and express the concept of sustainable development in traditional aesthetics.

After ten years of development, "Huichuang Youth" has formed a whole chain cultivation system from creative incubation to industrial landing. It is understood that the past outstanding works of the competition have successfully docked with cultural and creative parks and industrial institutions, and some of them have even stepped onto the international professional stage, successfully realizing the three-tier leap of "classroom works incubation products market commodities". With the continuous deepening of strategic cooperation with the Yangtze River Delta Cultural, Creative, Industry and Education Alliance, the event continues to achieve new breakthroughs, and strives to build an international growth platform for young designers through classified display, centralized performance, achievement release and other links, so as to inject fresh energy into Shanghai's construction of an international cultural and creative industry center.

As the organizer of the competition, in the future, Donghua University will continue to give full play to its disciplinary advantages to enable industrial upgrading through innovative fabric research and development, sustainable fashion practice and digital design, and strive to cultivate world-class innovative talents and practical industry leaders with an international perspective, so as to help the high-quality development of China's fashion industry.
