Immediately, both Li Nanguang and the other two designers exclaimed in amazement:
"Wow, this is so beautiful! It's exactly what we need!"
"Perfect! It has more Chinese characteristics than the clothes currently popular on the market, yet it doesn't feel out of place at all. It looks particularly modern and has a contemporary feel, giving people a sense of fashion."
"That's absolutely right! It's so stunning, I'm speechless. Boss, whose work is this?"
Although these are just a few sketches, they embody both Western fashion sense and Eastern charm, with a strong Chinese style.
"I drew this," Chen Dong said without hesitation.
This was of course drawn by him.
Regarding the style of these clothes, he drew inspiration from the design ideas of Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) in later generations.
What surprised them most was that Chen Dong's sketches looked perfectly natural.
It seems that this is how they were supposed to be, and that they have been developing for many years and have undergone multiple iterations.
Of course, they didn't know that these sketches truly reflected Chen Dong's thoughts on Chinese style.
He selected some of the most distinctive Hanfu from his previous life as his design inspiration.
It can be said that they are the culmination of the hard work of many top designers.
These are enough to represent the popular trends of that period.
Chen Dong's use of Hanfu concept clothing sketches was not arbitrary, but rather the result of careful observation.
It was through intentional or unintentional observation that Chen Dong discovered the fashion trends of this period.
The characteristic of fashion design during this period was the integration of Western fashion elements into Tang suit styles.
What surprised Chen Dong even more was that Tang Dynasty design elements were also becoming popular in the world fashion scene at that time.
This trend emerged in Hong Kong and spread to the rest of the world.
One reason is that Hong Kong, as a meeting point of Eastern and Western cultures, has seen a collision of various ideas and mutual inspiration, resulting in a wonderful chemical reaction.
The second reason is that genuine local fashion brands are beginning to emerge in Hong Kong today, gradually changing its previous fate of being an OEM manufacturer for foreign fashion brands.
In other words, Hong Kong designers during this period had a greater sense of autonomy.
They primarily follow modern Western design concepts, but having grown up on Chinese soil, traditional culture is ingrained in their blood. In particular, this cultural awareness has evolved from unconscious to conscious, prompting them to create this unique style of clothing.
For example, in the previous life, the fashion brand "Shanghai Tang" was founded in 1994 and quickly became a typical representative of the resurgence of Tang suits.
This trend has inspired Chen Dong – he can now launch his own Tang Dynasty-style concept design.
Now, he could even take the lead in creating a world-renowned clothing brand to showcase traditional Chinese cultural elements.
With the sketches provided by Chen Dong, the three designers quickly got an idea.
The three of them drew and discussed at the same time, trying to express their own ideas.
Sometimes they get so intense it sounds like they're arguing.
Seeing this, Chen Dong had no choice but to interrupt them.
Because all he needs now are some basic design drafts.
The three of them quickly drew up the design draft.
Due to time constraints, the drawings are only rough drafts.
Of course, even with these sketches drawn by Chen Dong, the clothing designs they produced still showed significant differences.
With these things, he could be more targeted in his communication with Huang Yali.
As for better designs, further refinement and improvement are still needed.
They need to conduct market research and gather feedback before they can determine the scale of production.
Although Chen Dong had already said that, the three of them were still immersed in the design of this new style of clothing.
This in-depth learning and exchange captivated them.
Upon seeing this, Chen Dong nodded to himself, thinking to himself that he truly deserved to be the best designer in the company.
However, their focus is something that many people cannot achieve.
With their addition, Huang Yali believes that the company's clothing brand can go further and achieve its goals more quickly.
So engrossed in their work, they didn't even realize that it was almost time to leave.
As the three designers were leaving, they made a request to Chen Dong: they could take with them the sketches he had drawn so they could study and learn from them.
Chen Dong had nothing to hide about this.
The three of them carefully put away the sketches Chen Dong had drawn and left happily.
Chen Dong knew that they would study his sketches more thoroughly.
He was pleased to see this and hoped that their design skills could be further improved, that they could adapt to the job as soon as possible, and that they could produce better works.
...
Speaking of which, many of the events of the past few days were caused by the kidnapping of Li Zekai, the second son of the Li family.
Thinking about the kidnapping incident that the Li family experienced, Chen Dong gradually realized that he himself had also been greatly affected.
The most important impact was that the kidnappers made him realize his own identity and status.
Recognize that he was merely a person with some foresight or prophecy regarding information, and not a god or prophet in the true sense.
This made him even more respectful of certain things, rather than feeling like he was floating in the air, having lost his foundation.
He should be like a tree, deeply rooted in the earth, drawing nourishment from it, rather than being aloof and becoming a tree without roots or water without a source.
This is a good thing.
In fact, his shift from the once invincible financial sector to real industry in the past year is also a process of moving from the virtual to the real.
