    • SPRING / SUMMER 2018

      Arete’s Spring/Summer 2018 Collection is inspired by the life of modern nomads, women who continually expand their world through the exploration of new frontiers. A particular inspiration story is of Ashol-pan, a young 12-year old who breaks tradition as the first female eagle huntress in Mongolia. This cultural change recognizes female empowerment, a value that drives young women to reach new heights. In relation, modern women in metropolitan cities are considered urban nomads, who travel and migrate for work and leisure. They enrich their lives through active explorative discovery, opening their eyes to different cultures, people, and environment. The life of a modern female nomad is one rich with multitude of experience and personal growth. Capturing hues from the Mongolian Gobi Desert, “Urban Nomad” ranges from cream, sand, black, to a rich sunset red. The pieces in Arete’s SS18 collection are imagined for the modern female nomad – relaxed with polished sophistication, easy to travel with and carry on the go for a wide range of occasions.

       

      ARETE 2018春夏系列设计灵感起自“都市游牧民族”，热爱生活和敢于挑战的女性们通过对于新鲜领域的不断探索，来不断扩充与提升自我的境界。一名12岁的蒙古年轻女鹰猎手Ashol-pan和她绝赞的经历激发了本季系列的创作，带来独特、鲜活且富有力量的设计灵感。女性所被赋予的权利在这种文化上的革新中被承认，而也正是这样的价值观驱动着年轻富有朝气的女性到达新的高度。在飞速发展的现代化大都市中，能够独当一面的女性们更像是在城市中游走的游牧民族，她们为了工作和休闲而旅行，甚至迁徙。她们通过积极的探索去发现新知；借由不同的文化、人群、环境来打开自己的视野，丰富自己的阅历。这些带有都市游牧属性的摩登女性们，在探索与寻找中拥有更丰富多样的人生，同时更加纵深的自我成长。纵览蒙古的戈壁沙滩，从乳白、沙黄、石墨，到只有在这中天然未被开发的绝境之地才能捕获到的丰富的夕阳作为色彩元素。ARETE 2018春夏系列为具有都市摩登气息的和带有洒脱游牧属性的现代女性，带来便于旅行和其他更广泛的、适用于多种场合的应用时装设计。

    • PRE-SPRING 2018

    • FALL / WINTER 2017

      Capturing a delicate flower that grows and emerges from darkness, “Midnight Bloom” is a flow between light and darkness in reference to the Arete woman’s feminine strength and resilience that conquers all adversities. The collection is inspired by soft natural colors from sepia and black/white floral images, extracting subtle ombre tones and applies soft colors to architectural silhouettes inspired by flowers and organic forms. There is a detailed focus capturing contrast while maintaining designs that lend to sensible wearability for multiple occasions.

       

      Arete全新“子夜幽漾”系列衣如其名，犹如盛放在午夜中精致的花朵，任凭风情和个性在光明与黑暗中游走。在以栀子花的白、琥珀的深褐色和午夜的幽黑作为主色调的系列中，将来自花卉和大自然的柔和色彩运用于极具建筑感的轮廓之上，这正是Arete女性刚柔兼并的力量体现，和在面对逆境时惊人的韧性特质。强大的反差让风格更加突出，而贯穿于细节之中的和谐又保证了该系列的可穿性，强调完美应对各种场合需求的时装功能性，演绎女人百变风情与善感多变的个性。

      WINDSWEPT 在风中 (2016)

      Nominated for Best Cinematography by the 2017 International Fashion Film Awards, "Windswept" captures the Arete woman's spirit on a vast rice field scattered with futuristic wind turbines and covered in tall grass stems. Showcasing Arete’s Spring / Summer 2017 Collection's key designs inspired by Chinese-American artist Tracie Cheng's works, this fashion film directed by Derryck Menere unites visually fluid elements in the subject, costume, and surrounds into a powerful singular expression.

       

      大地覆盖着长草，散落着现代化的风车……获得第2017届国际时尚电影奖“最佳摄影奖”提名的“在风中”时尚影片在这片被微风轻抚的稻田中，俘获着春之精髓和Arete女性的精神所在。影片中所展示的Arete 2017春夏系列设计灵感取自于美籍华人艺术家程筱函的作品，并由导演Derryck Menere掌镜，在短片中，本系列的双重特质通过两种并置的视觉元素得到展现，并借由流畅的镜头、通过场景和主角，对概念做了更深的探索与更富张力地表达。

      WINDSWEPT FASHION ART EXHIBITION “在风中”时尚艺术展览 (2017)

      “Windswept” is an exquisitely curated exhibition of contemporary artwork, fashion design, and fashion film that explores self-expressions of fluidity, movement, and freedom. Using collaborative designs that convey airiness and kinetic energy taking flight, artist Tracie Cheng, fashion brand Arete, and Pata Gallery present a visually layered journey from an International Chinese perspective.

       

      Christina Liao, Head Designer for womenswear fashion brand Arete, remembers the moment she first saw the work of Asian American artist Tracie Cheng, whose textured, ethereal landscapes create three-dimensional spaces of two-dimensional surfaces. “I was immediately drawn to the movement and thought how amazing it would be to see it flow in the wind,” she says, describing the fabric inspiration behind Arete’s ‘Windswept’ themed Spring / Summer 2017 collection. Cheng says of the collaboration, “how my paintings weave and envelop the fabric is so much more than I could conceive. The contrasting movement and space in my paintings is well depicted in the gown; while layered and textured, it is also airy and kinetic. The bare lined fabric conveys a transparency and openness that I seek in my work. The collection is complex and yet simple, which is how I like to understand my paintings. It's wonderful to see this collaboration, and the paintings, come to life in this way.”

       

      “在风中”系列通过展览的形式，将当代艺术、时尚设计及影像拍摄完美糅合，以艺术的多重表达形式探索动静变换的流动性，在这之中追求自我表达的自由感。艺术家 Tracie Cheng、时尚品牌 Arete 和 Pata 画廊联手合作，启用万物相融的设计手法，传达出飘渺与逃离的动感，借此为大家呈现一场来自中国本土，却拥有国际展望的视觉分层之旅。

       

      Christina Liao，女性服装时尚品牌Arete的首席设计师，回忆起她第一次看到美籍亚裔艺术家Tracie Cheng作品时的触动，她作品上有交织的网纹，空灵飘渺的景观在二维空间上创造了三维空间的视觉。“我马上被这种流动感吸引了，思量着这幅作品若能随风而动，一定很惊艳。”她说起Arete2017春／夏季系列作品“在风中”主题背后的设计灵感来源。Cheng说到这个系列，“画作和面料交融的效果远超我的想象。我作品中流动和空间的比对完全体现在了服装上；搭配上不同层次和材质后，依然轻薄柔美而活跃。透视内衬的面料传达了透明感、开放感，而这也正是我的作品所表达的。这个系列复杂而简单，一如我对自己画作的理解。和Arete之间的合作、以及我的画作能以这样的方式焕发新生命，实在让人感到太美妙了。”
