中国风服装设计活动

S1L 张择览 2021年6月16日午间，12楼的sports hall中，几名华文老师与CCC成员正忙得热火朝天，抓紧时间最后检查一次中国风服装设计的活动场地。材料包与奖品已码在桌上，投影仪放落下来，各组“设计基地”的位置划分得泾渭分明。为了这次活动，他们已经准备良久。早在一个月前，CCC便讨论过华文部的期末活动，不久后拍板了最终选择，决定通过服装设计这种开放、活泼的方式，引导SISHK初一的学生——耶就是活动的主要受众，发挥想象设计中国风服装，从而加强对中华文化的兴趣与认识。活动的前一周，CCC成员就向各班介绍过大致梗概，我负责的正是S1L的活动简介。此时，回想起几天来各个小组积极准备的模样，我不禁期待起来。今天，同学们会设计出怎样优秀的服装作品呢？午饭时间一过，各班学生陆续进入sports hall，我也与我的组员们汇合。两名学姐——赖美锜、方惠麒，最后讲解活动规则后，各个小组收到了CCC提供的材料包。打开一看，剪刀、布匹等材料一应俱全。环视四周，各组有的聚首讨论，有的已开始裁剪布料。我们组不敢再浪费时间，连忙开始设计起来。我们选择了才过去没多久的端午节作为主题，意为沾个彩头，同时拉近与观众的距离。选择具体的主题诗词时，我们选定了北宋诗人黄裳写的《喜迁莺·端午泛湖》。实际上，它的知名度并不高，不论文体、朝代还是作者。但一来，这首词读来实在引人入胜，描绘的场景也栩栩如生；二来，我们本就希望传播这些相对小众、但同样优秀的作品，向更多人宣扬中华文化的多面性。既然是中国风服装，自然少不了中国风的设计元素。我们的主题诗词写于北宋，作为设计师之一，我专门上网查询，惊奇地了解了宋代黑色官帽、宽大袖子的服装特征，此时正好用进设计中。诗词描写六月开放的石榴花：“乍绛蕊海榴，争开时节”，造型师便在模特腰间粘上布扎的红花；诗词描写端午必吃的粽子：“角黍包金，香蒲切玉”，造型师便在服装中融入代表糯米的金色、与代表棕叶的青绿色。诗词描写端午节系彩结的习俗：“斗巧尽输少年，玉腕彩丝双结”，造型师便编出彩绳，套在模特的手腕上。设计师辅助造型师设计服装、解说家对PPT内容作最后修正、推广大使互相讨论着稍后的介绍内容，全组人员忙得如火如荼。时间过得飞快，转瞬便到了服装展示的时间。各组模特与推广大使相继上台，对着评委展示、讲解，一时间各式风格的服装琳琅满目，真是让人眼界大开。S1L第二组取用了“碧玉妆成一树高，万条垂下绿丝绦”的主题，象征生机与自然的嫩绿、桃粉、杏黄交映，唐朝风格的设计融合自然与诗词，赏心悦目；S1M第三组则选择了人尽皆知的“玲珑骰子安红豆，入骨相思君不知”，模特手执团扇、身着紫裙、腰挂坠着骰子的中国结，巧妙的设计令人眼前一亮。其他小组的中国风设计同样精彩，一圈看下来，使人目不暇接，有种穿越回了古代华夏的错觉。随着放学的铃声，活动宣告结束，模特褪下服装，所有人意犹未尽地离开了sports hall。第二天一早，我听闻我们组摘得冠军、最佳合作组奖项，惊喜万分。但对我来说，所有荣誉、奖品都是其次，通过活动学习的文化鉴赏能力、以及对中华服饰的进一步了解，才是我们最该珍之重之的成果啊！
