Unique Porcelain Clothing from Li Xiaofeng
Indeed, porcelain is not only a great material for cookware, but also one of those things, constantly inspiring fashion designers.
They make many interesting things out of porcelain! Mimicking its fragility and patterns, couturiers create prints, theatrical costumes for the stars and even entire collections. From the fragments of porcelain and ceramics they make beautiful ornaments.
But the 43-year-old Beijing artist and designer Li Xiaofeng figured out how to “sew” garment of the fragments of bowls and dishes made from traditional Chinese porcelain and ceramics.
The creation of the Chinese craftsmen is a modern art, born in the literal sense of the ancient traditions. The designer sews pieces of porcelain tableware of Chinese emperors of Song Dynasty (420-479gg.), Yuan (1279-1368gg.), Ming (1368-1644gg.) And Qing (1644-1911gg.), and attaches the porcelain garment to the leather frame.
Some of his models are coats, women’s dresses of medium length, ties. Ceramic garment are unbuttoned from the back, or sideways, and you can wear them on any other clothes.
The studio is full of boxes with beaten plates and other ceramic fragments. Each porcelain pieces are sorted by age, color, date, form, before it will be used to create the next Porcelain attire.
