Review of IFAD Final Show

Maybe you think I did copy and paste if you have already read Nozomi's art review. I apologize to Nozomi for using her way to writing but it is necessary for me to improve my English. 

'Liberty' was made by Ke Xu who is one of students of International Foundation in Art & Design at UCA.  I found the work at the exhibition of the final major project yesterday.
She expressed her work by using 3 garments, 1 photo and 1 shooting portfolio which are based on numerous research.
She is interested in sexuality that exists as social role. She focuses on the femininity that is considered as usually weak.
She told me about the Romanticism and Impressionist which she was inspired through producing her concept. She is attracted by the softness of nature and women , and reflects inspiration on her work.





There is a cloth used a lot of white cloth which have different texture in the middle of the picture. Robe is long but skirt is really short. Xu told that this work was inspired by wedding dress, but she had made that for against marriage.
Her main concept is 'Liberty'. She think about situation of female, and release women from their role in the contemporary society.
There is a picture on the wall which woman is wearing this cloth. Woman glares audience like she would like to provoke audience.
I think her works is sensitive, feeling wind, and feminine. However, Xu tries to overcome what people think about women cloth. Therefore, she makes work which likes military jacket but made from soft and white material. The shape like military jacket which used in men community, but her cloth's detail is feminine. Personally, it is interesting for me that her work has feminine detail because I think that women need power as men when women fights with their male counterparts. However, Xu thinks that feminine is powerful as manlike.





In addition, I have a question about fashion. These questions are probably too childish and not relate to this exhibition.

I wonder why nowadays, designers use only thin and tall model? Nowadays, people think that this figure is suit to show cloth cool, but why high designers make cloth only for thin and tall proportion? There are lots of designers which have different thought, but all of them use long leg model in the show.
Moreover, one of IFAD student told me that there was a trend each year, like this year is flower and this year is fish, so catch this season trend is important to do fashion promotion. This year is flower, so lots of high bland use flower patterns in their works.
However, I wonder why there is a trend of the cloth? Why does all unique high bland create same trend? Who make that?
In addition, I asked him how can you promote catwalk cloth even if they are not suit for wearing? Some student told me that Alexander Macqueen made a lot of new design for catwalk, and he sold the comfortable cloth with used expensive material, and he got money from that. I wonder it is good for his concept. He made cloth that overcome function and material of cloth but he sold cloth that people can wear comfortable! Is that why people think his work is new forever?
