[Beijing Winter Olympics] The ingenuity and ingenuity of the Chinese costumers behind the "battle clothes" of the Winter Olympics

  [Explanation] From April 1st to 10th, the "Meet in Beijing" winter sports ice event test event was held in Beijing.

In this test event, all the competition organization, venue operation, service guarantee and other tasks of all ice events will undergo a practical test.

In the figure skating arena, the uniforms worn by athletes are also facing a "quiz".

  (Preliminary) When communicating, we have a preliminary idea of ​​choreographers, coaches, and athletes. Sometimes athletes will add his own strong feelings. In most cases, we will respect the ideas of athletes, because it is true. When they arrive on the ice, when they arrive on the venue, they are dancing. They must meet the assumption of the spiritual world in his heart. We will make appropriate adjustments, guidance, and add professional knowledge on this basis. Just to collide.

  [Explanation] The team led by Professor Liu Li of the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology has repeatedly provided uniforms for the national figure skating (camp training) team athletes. In this test event, many athletes also put on the uniforms designed by their team.

  Understanding music, designing manuscripts, making nude suits, embellished with diamonds, trying on on land, trying on ice... a figure skating competition is nothing but a design, which requires multiple links from the design to the upper body.

Recently, Liu Li introduced the design process of figure skating competition clothes to reporters in an interview.

  First, roughly 80% of this costume is decorated, and then handed over to the athletes. They come to try the fit for the first time, and eventually there will be a fitting process on ice, because the ice will involve the whole (process) .

  [Explanation] Liu Li is the general person in charge of the key special project "Key technologies for the development of high-performance clothing for winter sports and training competitions" for the "Technology Winter Olympics".

In addition to figure skating competition clothes, her team currently designs and develops competition clothes for short track speed skating and alpine skiing.

  I hope that in the short-track speed skating event, (competition clothing) has a new function besides anti-stab cut, which is to effectively reduce the resistance and (reduce) the friction with the air, so that it can prevent damage. It can also increase speed.

In fact, sometimes an increase of 0.01 second in speed may be a breakthrough in performance. This is how the contest between masters is. Within a hundredth of a second, it may be rewritten (results) and may be a medal (attribution).

  The Winter Olympics are also different from the Summer Olympics. The Winter Olympics may also pay more attention to warmth, comfort, ventilation, and protection. Therefore, in these aspects, we have also made a lot of attempts, such as fabrics. In terms of selection, for example, in structural design, in some functional manifestations.

  [Explanation] In Liu Li's view, the Winter Olympics clothing is not as simple as the "knitting" of past clothing. Every clothing is a Winter Olympics "jacket" created by the design team with ingenuity and ingenuity.

At the same time, the design of figure skating uniforms for the future Winter Olympics will also use traditional Chinese dyeing, Su embroidery and other traditional crafts to show profound Chinese cultural connotations through unique artistic styles.

  In fact, since the (20) 2008 Olympics, we have not been disconnected. We have always regarded Olympic clothing culture, sports fashion clothing, etc. as a feature of our fashion school, and we continue to excavate and analyze the topics of special research. For example, from a cultural point of view, from a technological point of view, from the aspects of sports function and comfort, it has been better systematically sorted out.

  [Explanation] As the opening day of the Beijing Winter Olympics is getting closer and closer, Liu Li is looking forward to the wonderful appearance of this set of "battle suits" in the Winter Olympics.

In the future, she also hopes that through the hosting of the Winter Olympics, China's winter sportswear industry can achieve great development.

  [Concurrent] Liu Li, Professor of Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology and Director of National Winter Sports Apparel Equipment R&D Center

  I think we must take advantage of this opportunity to develop the theory of winter sportswear research and development in our country, build a team, and build a platform. This is a responsibility given to us by the times.
