Designer Ceng Fengfei: Being A Man Is Like Making Clothes.

Designer Ceng Fengfei is dressed very hard. The blue knitted sweater is not dark blue, but the blue with very high saturation and high color. His trousers hang up and reveal his ankles and black shoes. "Do you think I will be an old, very old man?" "No, but you will be a person who likes to wear broad and Chinese clothes." "I am not as old as you think," he answered with a hearty laugh. The day before the interview, Zeng Feng Fei had just finished the show. There was no celebration dinner on the night of the show. After many years of fashion show, he was used to this kind of rhythm and was very indifferent to the result.

At 4 p.m., I met him at Zeng Feng Fei studio, 751 design square, Beijing. The generous tea table and tea set were placed in the lobby outside the office. He had tea party with his friends. During the interview, 35 friends invited to tea. In the office, Chinese furniture is displayed. On the ancient wooden table, apple, biscuits and so on are the first to be seen. Because they are too out of tune, they ask if they like snacks. There are snacks in the carry on bag. Besides food, the bags are small and simple. They are objects that can be used at ordinary times. Pencils, purses, keys, and towels used for drawing are not popular nowadays. He laughs at the fact that he is a country man, and he can't learn to use those pictures or draw pen. Joking and ridiculing yourself, easy-going enough to allow him to glance at his bag, "you see, you flip it", you will also make fun of his wife's recent love for him because his son went to college. But when it comes to design, it will be instantly serious. This year is the first time he has gone abroad to fashion week. He feels a lot. The biggest benefit is that we must continue to inherit Chinese elements, like European designers. In 2015, the theme of spring and summer was totem based on Fukuyama Hisakai. He thought that the version was difficult to change. Only the patterns could be continuously excavated. After he had finished the year, he ran to the Imperial Palace to collect materials and find information. On the day of the show, in addition to fashion, there are also memorable music, water droplets, old lady's looms and new machines. The music is the soul of the show. Music is the soul of the show. Let him take the professional musicians to the countryside and record the sounds of nature, birds, water, etc., or find inspiration from musicians such as Tan Dun.

He said, "life is like making clothes. Your life is your fashion." In turn, the design tradition, his outlook on life will be relatively "classical", weekend not to go out for social activities, only painting and making clothes, two lines of work day, will be considerate and grateful to the wife for the family to pay, help his wife choose clothes, modeling, is the son of the strict father, although wearing a very damp, but on the wrist wearing joss sticks, red sandalwood beads, studio fragrance, love to drink black tea, rock tea, like flowers, grass, life and green things. Presumably, a person who possesses the emotional appeal of "chess, calligraphy, painting, poem, wine and flower tea" but enjoys the life of "sauce and vinegar tea" can definitely create more and better Chinese style fashions.
