Oriental Daily News Article on Short Course - Fashion Design Foundation taught by Yan Fong

Oriental Daily News Article on Short Course - Fashion Design Foundation taught by Yan Fong 

東方日報刊載  新聞    2007年10月16日

 
Yan's student promoted to famous design schools
 
 
 【東方日報專訊】天橋上,時裝模特兒身穿的每一件服飾均有可能成為潮流指標,而對於年輕人來說,能夠創造潮流絕對是一門刺激又富挑戰性的工作。不過,要投身時裝設計師行列,單憑興趣是不足夠的,必須具備專業知識作基礎。
Tiffany 及 Shirley 自修畢為期10堂由 Yan Fong 方如昕導師任教的「時裝設計入門」Fashion Design Foundation後,決定以興趣為事業,分到報讀香港理工大學ITC 及專業學院IVE並獲取錄時裝設計課程!
 
方如昕導師指出,從事時裝設計不但要掌握繪圖,選布料等基本知識,更要對時裝潮流有敏感的觸覺。「時裝設計師要預測一年後的潮流,並且要根據公司的形象,目標顧客及成本,為下季的時裝作好決定。一般而言,巴黎,米蘭,紐約等都是全球潮流指標,而外國雜誌以 Vogue 為重要資訊來源。有意入行者以設計師助理 Assisnat Designer為初階,條件為繪圖及潮流觸覺要好。「時裝設計入門」正教授這些基本功。
 
至於去年入讀香港大學社工系的 Tiffany為興趣不惜轉科。「我鐘意睇 Fashion雜誌,但好少接觸繪畫,上年Poly U 面試係 Drawing Test,所以表現一般,未能成功入學。讀完 「時裝設計入門」後,想法變得更堅定,於是再報考理大。方如昕導師教了我們從哪些渠道找資料,故面試好有信心過關。」
 
同樣修畢課程的 Shirley因會考成績欠佳,未能升讀大專院校,於是決定先投身社會工作,有點積蓄再讀「時裝設計入門」這課程。Shirley指出,導師的教導令她對繪畫及時裝的興趣有增無減,「發覺完成一件衫好有成功感,出路不錯,既可做設計師又可當形象顧問。」

YanFong's Design : Long legs, great figure, no catfights - meet the perfect model

Reported by South China Morning Post dated March 19 about YanFong's winning Design
 
 
Long legs, great figure, no catfights - meet the perfect model
 
 
"Fairy in Paradise" by YanFong wins the Polytechnic University's Barbie Fashion Show celebrate the
45th anniversary of the doll. Refer to the photos belows.
 
Twenty-Six unconventional beauties modelled student designs at Barbie fashion show yesterday.
To be sure, they were blonde and leggy, and they wore plastic expressions worthy of Paris or Milan.
 
But at just 30cm tall, these models - Barbie dolls, in fact - would be hard pressed finding employment on the world's catwalks.
 
The show formed the climax of a costume design competition held as part of Hong Kong Polytechnic University's arts festival.
 
YanFong won the Champion prize while the 26 designs paraded last night were chosen from more than 160 entries.

Idea of Paradise Inspired Winning Design reported by Young Post

Reported by Young Post dated March 23 about YanFong's winning Design
 
 
Idea of Paradise Inspired Winning Design
 
 
Everyone has their won idea of paradis. To express her vision of the ideal world, YanFong designed a fancy costume, - " Fairy in Paradise" - for the legendary Barbie. Her design won the top prize in the Barbie costume design competition.
 
Yan's design was inspired by her childhood perception of the famous doll. To her, the classic character is like a fairy in paradise - pretty, elegant, delicate, pure and carerfree.
 
"When I was a kid, I dreamt of having a Barbie but never had one. I always imagined what Barbie was like," said the 19-year-old.
 
The competition, part of the university's Arts Festival and timed to coincide with the 45th anniversary of Barbie, attracted more than 160 entries.
 
The winning design, together with 53 other outstanding entries, is on display in the foyer of the university's Jockey Club Auditorium until next Friday.
 
Ms Fong's design seeks to tap into people's subconscious ideas of paradise. She used dried plants and flowers as the materials for the doll's costume: the hat is made of daisy seeds, aquamarine and ivy leaves, and the high wheeled shoes are made of moss, green pine needles, lily leaves and daisy seeds. She also used paint, rather than clothes, to decorate the doll's body.
 
" I think it is more appropriate to use natural materials to create the paradise-like feeling and to bring out the idea behind my design," she said.
 
" A human body actually is very beautiful without any clothes on."
 
To make her design more comprehensive, Ms Fong also put together four posters for the  character, even though that was not part of the competition.

MOTIVATION
 
My design has existed as a major feature of culture and everyday life. Its compass is vast and includes three-dimensional objects, graphic communications and integrated systems from information technology to urban environments.
