On the afternoon of January 27th, the 2024 Silk Road International Fashion Week Tour in Macau came to a successful conclusion in the Tourist Tower. Many designers, models, brands and fashion lovers gathered together to witness a fashion feast.
With the theme of "Cross-border cooperation for a better future", the event was a combination of fashion shows, non-legacy exhibitions, children’s group singing and dancing performances, and joint performances of Macao brands. Among them, Andy Lee, a director of China Macau Belling Sports Association and a full-time Belling Worker, gave a particularly striking performance. Belling is a sport and a traditional folk art in China. In 2006, it was selected as one of the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage representative projects. With the skillful dancing of performers, it seems to have life, which is perfectly combined with music and rhythm, adding a touch of strong cultural color to this performance.
The exhibition of FENGSANSAN brand is a highlight of this activity. The brand was founded by Feng Sansan, one of the top ten designers in China. The brand concept originated from the root of everything, and regarded the Millennium Chinese civilization as the soul, which was integrated into every garment. This performance series "Mulan Ci" runs through the whole with "Mulan" as the element, combining with Chinese intangible cultural heritage-Suzhou embroidery, injecting China traditional culture into the ancient and modern stories of "women’s heroes", applying opera elements into it, and bringing a refreshing visual feast to the audience.
In addition, this activity also included many wonderful contents, such as the joint performance of Macao design brands such as C/W Collective, Demi*D, Goddess Armour, Nega C. and NO.42 organized by Macao Fashion Design Industry Association, the song and dance performance brought by Macao children’s performance group MAXCHILL, and the release of miracle angel brand. The diversified performance forms not only fully demonstrated Macao’s unique culture, but also made people deeply experience tradition and modernity, culture and so on. The success of this event has not only effectively promoted the development of Macao’s fashion industry, but also strengthened the cultural exchanges and cooperation between Macao and the rest of the world. Through the link of fashion, Macao has established closer ties with cities around the world and moved towards a better future together.
