The concept of ‘UN-’ (Unconventional combinations) is to combine every possible unconventional element that presents the reality and illusion. It was taken from an unusual viewpoint of fashion in terms of garments and accessories. ‘UN-’ collection focuses on the combination of the technique and material. Inspired by cubism, breaking-up the original object and recombining to shape a new form is the starting point and then developing through the reflection accessories, deconstruction and asymmetric silhouette to achieve the concept. In brief, ‘UN-’ collection is creating a new channel to demonstrate fashion.

The world need new talents! The the following big talent comes directly from school: Yirantian Guo is a graduate from the London College of Fashion, where she currently works on her master studies. Fashion and art collide in her work. Yirantian, who comes originally from China, combines influences from western and eastern culture in her work.

Her graduate collection ÔUN-Õ is inspired by cubism. Yirantian uses elements like deconstruction and abstraction and works with reflective surfaces, distorted proportions and equips the models with different masks. Yirantian seems to regard the body as a playing field for her experiments in fashion: he is retainer and base at the same moment and breath life into her sophisticated clothes. Yirantian´s clothes look strange on the first glance. On the second glance you recognize the hidden beauty and the strong and interesting concept behind her work. A clear association to the art world become clear if you have a look on her fantastic look book photography: she creates own pictorial worlds for her collection, which moves on the border between reality and illusion. The photos work also like the collection, with doubling, abstraction and manipulation.

我是郭一然天,是个来自中国的女生,我是一个刚在London College of Fashion毕业的女装设计师。解构主义,抽象概念和现代主义都是可以形容我风格的词语。
老实说,伦敦不只是一个适合进修的好地方,它也十分适合居住,身边的一切都为我带来启发。举个例子,我时常在艺术品中找寻灵感,如绘画,雕塑,建筑物甚至是人体,当我开始新系列时,我最初通常以自己的数据作取材的基础,如拍照和在已确定的概念下尝试制作不同的样板,这些都有助我更快了解和找到自己的方式去演绎主题。

我开始新的设计或系列时,我首先考虑的是如何把我的意念转化到布料上同时让它在人们穿在身上时表现得好看,因为每个系列我都以线条和轮廓作起点,但这一切最后都会一起合作并不能分开。

我发现当身体穿上经过自己构思而创造出来的作品时,那种带来的惊喜是让人十分兴奋的,这就像在陈述自己的故事,而你不会知道当几块不同的布料缝合在一起并发展出新形态时的形状如何,我十分享受这过程,这是我选择女装设计的原因。
在伦敦进修可算是十分幸运,所有的数据的来源都十分有价值,如博物馆,画廊和图书馆等,你也可以在这个文化会聚的城市找到很多新奇的东西,在这三年间,压力无疑是无处不在的,时装发展十分迅速,你必须在塑造自己形象的同时提升自己的技术,所以我有很多不同的机会去学习和探索,同时进行实验和自我学习。

系列 “UN-“的意念是结合所有能表现虚与实的非主流元素,以不一样的观点来看待衣服和配饰, “UN-“注重物料和技术的运用和两者间的配合,灵感来自立体主义,系列由瓦解传统的对象并以新形态重现作起点,当中再配合带有镜面的配饰,解构和不对称的线条来展示主题,总括来说 “UN-“是以一个新的形式来展现时尚。
试验是最难的部分,在把绘图转化为衣服,再成为最后的完成品的过程经过了很多不同的实验,与此同时,配饰也是系列中的另一项难题,所有反射物料都需要经过燃烧来重新塑造更贴近身体的形状,当中的过程需要很长时间而不是每件作品都能成功。

我一直都有考虑这个问题,我认为如果你有足够的经济支持来发展,你可把它当作一个兴趣,能发展自己的一套也不用理会市场,毫无疑问地每个设计师都在为平衡创意和市场需求而不断尝试,而它们的平衡在行业内也是十分重要的。
