On July 6, the Shanghai center of Consinee became the intersection of creativity and tradition, and successfully held the final evaluation meeting of the finalists of the 2024 ISFS Award Second International Folk Gift Fashion Innovation Competition, marking another magnificent bloom of the group's "Fire Phoenix Plan". With "FUSION Integration · Harmonious Coexistence between Human and Nature" as the soul, this feast of youth and wisdom, together with the future design star, explores the folk treasures of the global village, weaving green, intelligent, and inclusive fashion scenes.
In his opening speech, Mr. Xue Jingli, Chairman and President of Consinee Group, warmly welcomed the guests attending the ISFS Award final evaluation ceremony and highly praised the courage of the shortlisted talents to explore innovative folk gifts. He introduced Consinee Group as a leader in luxury yarn, adhering to industry innovation, leading the industry, giving industry confidence, and actively promoting the inheritance and development of Chinese fashion and folk culture. Last year, he invested 100 million US dollars in Hainan to industrialize the world intangible cultural heritage "Li Jin". And continuously promoting the "Fire Phoenix Plan" aims to cultivate industry elites, collaborate with international brands to promote fashion innovation, and build a platform for cultural exchange between the East and the West. He eagerly and sincerely hopes for the complete success of this event, with his words filled with a beautiful vision for the future and deep emotional attachment.
At the same time, Professor Liu Chunhong, President of the Shanghai Fashion Association, emphasized the integration of academia and practice, strengthening the academic value and practical significance of the event. Her views complement the insights of experts and judges from multiple fields on site, affirming the creativity and talent of emerging designers from multiple perspectives, and learning from the brilliant intersection of culture and creativity, leaving a deep impression on the grand event. The jury, which gathered numerous industry authorities and cross disciplinary elites, witnessed the glorious coronation of this group of emerging designers.
Among the more than 130 high-level shortlisted works gathered in this competition, the intangible cultural heritage fabric track is vividly remembered. Its rich patterns not only preserve the beauty of ancient handicrafts, but also radiate new vitality in contemporary design. As Consinee insists, cultural prosperity leads to national prosperity, and cultural strength leads to national strength. The group continues to promote the inheritance and promotion of excellent traditional Chinese culture, revitalizing intangible cultural heritage art in the new era. For example, Consinee's luxury yarn woven intangible cultural heritage Li brocade delicately integrates natural landscapes and national culture into fibers, demonstrating the perfect integration of exquisite skills and profound cultural heritage. This is a model of modern design concepts and traditional industry transformation and upgrading, as well as the continuation and sublimation of national cultural heritage.
With the successful conclusion of the final evaluation meeting, the Consinee Shanghai center promised that this is not only the end of the competition, but also the starting point of the new fashion star. As a pioneer in the industry, we will unswervingly input innovation momentum into the textile industry, firmly promote the "Fire Phoenix Plan" - building a platform, gathering resources, leading the direction, cultivating emerging forces for the industry, enhancing confidence, and demonstrating corporate responsibility and vision through practical actions. Let's look forward to how the young designers who emerged from this feast will use their creative strokes to outline a more colorful and harmonious fashion future together with Consinee!
