Song Meiling was born in Shanghai in 1897. Her father, Song Jiashu, went to the United States to make a living at an early age. With the help of noble people, he received theological training. Later, he returned to China to preach, print Bibles, and get rich in business. Song Meiling grew up in a privileged environment and went to the United States to study in 1907. Ten years later, she graduated from Wesleyan and returned to prosperous Shanghai, where she became a socialite in the upper class. In 1927, Soong Meiling married Chiang Kai-shek, stepped onto the stage of power, and displayed her extraordinary talent and energy. She was involved in the New Life Movement, the Northern Expedition to Suppress the Communists, and the Xi'an Incident. Soong Meiling influenced the United States' response to the Chinese war zone during World War II, pushed her husband Chiang Kai-shek onto the stage of international politics, and even influenced American society's attitude toward communism after World War II. After the Nationalist Government moved to Taiwan, as Chiang Ching-kuo gradually came to power, Soong Meiling also faded out of the core of power. She settled in the United States in her later years and passed away in 2003 at the age of 105. - Excerpted from Yuanliu Magazine https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52798599882_0ca8134bd4_b.jpg Exclusive interview with designer Miao Haiyan | Craftsmanship, reshaping oriental aesthetics!

During the "3rd China Advanced Customization Industry Development Summit", Mr. Miao brought his works to the summit show, won applause from the audience, and won the first Advanced Customization "Excellent Teacher" award. Fortunately, we met and interviewed Teacher Miao backstage and experienced the shocking beauty of the clothes she made with traditional handicrafts up close. Among the costumes participating in the catwalk, Teacher Miao introduced us to the dress "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52799166921_51a94fcb79_b.jpg This garment was developed by Teacher Miao's team in collaboration with Shanghai University Academy of Fine Arts and the Public Art Collaborative Innovation Center. It is woven entirely by hand using the Kesi weaving method. "Kesi is the only garment that so far has no way to replace weaving with machines." This kind of textile fabric is all hand-woven, so even though it is a very small top, it took us about a month to weave it. The master who weaved this piece of clothing is also the sixth generation descendant of Kesi silk making. His previous Our ancestors made clothes for the emperor, and everyone including Cixi wore their clothes.” Teacher Miao also said that the skirt part under "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" represents "clouds" and "water", which means "moving clouds and flowing water"; he also cut a piece from the original painting as the upper part of the costume, so that the top and bottom correspond to each other, and it seems to be real. We showed a three-dimensional picture of "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains". We also learned that the costumes in the recently popular TV series "Bells on the Bund" were also designed by Mr. Miao. "Bells on the Bund" tells the story from the Cultural Revolution to ten years after the reform and opening up. It is a reflection of the cheongsam of that era and today. Teacher Miao also has his own opinions on the differences in production. "The body shapes of people in that era have changed a lot from those of us now. People at that time actually had no curves. In China, for a period of time, corsets were used, and the body curves were not very obvious, so the cheongsam at that time was Flat cutting, although some designers now pursue flat cutting, I think flat cutting is not very suitable for us today. After all, what we are pursuing now is curvaceous beauty. In the late 1940s, cheongsam had begun to be combined with Western tailoring. There are also many changes in bust darts, waist darts, and styles. I think cheongsam has been changing to a certain extent to adapt to the current lifestyle.” https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52798619767_17eaea00c4_o.jpg When introducing Teacher Miao, Mr. Wang Xiaocan, Chief Brand Executive Officer of FDC and Director of the Advanced Customization Research Center, said that the first time I met Ms. Miao, I was impressed by her quiet concentration in designing. Indeed, it’s hard not to be moved by Teacher Miao’s calm and firm temperament when designing. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52782876879_d43a0c8b03_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52783037230_6b27e006ff_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52782633701_c9b539555a_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52782633726_d7e39f3223_b.jpg Work history: Yanmu Studio was established in July 2002 and officially registered with the Industrial and Commercial Administration of Shanghai in August 2005.
