Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology
Hello respected judges. My name is Qi Yumei. I am a student of Product Design at Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. I specialize in footwear and luggage design, with a particular focus on sports shoe design. During my studies, I have fully mastered professional skills including design, 3D modeling and pattern making, and I am skilled in using a variety of design software for creation. I have been granted the National Encouragement Scholarship and the title of Merit Student of Beijing Municipality. I also won the Bronze Prize in the Luofu Cup Slipper Creative Design Competition and the Gold Prize in the Leather Logo Cup Children's Shoe Competition. I have completed internships at several well-known footwear enterprises. I took an active part in market research, shoe model development and technical implementation. I independently finished design projects for children's shoes and adult running shoes, and was recognized as an Outstanding Intern. I always combine creativity with craftsmanship, and attach equal importance to practicality and innovation in my designs. It’s my great honor to participate in this competition. I hope to present my design concepts on this platform, learn modestly from seniors and peers, and keep improving myself.

本系列鞋品以国家级非遗彝族撒尼刺绣为文化根基，立足非遗技艺日渐式微的现实痛点，提取《诗经》“式微”意象命名《逝微逝微》，聚焦民族纹样在当代鞋履的文化转译。前期通过田野调研梳理撒尼刺绣三大类纹样与传统绣花鞋形制，依托形状文法拆解马缨花、八角纹等核心元素，建立纹样视觉转换规则。围绕“文化消逝”核心叙事，从点、线、面三个维度设计消散、抽离、破碎三种视觉消解语言，用PS完成上百组纹样虚实效果实验。系列共三款女鞋，沿用传统翘头开襟鞋型，以黑色羊皮为基底，搭配红、紫传统绣线；鞋面结合手工挑花与Z字电绣，鞋底采用3D打印成型，高跟款增设金属补强结构提升实用性。设计以“完整纹样逐步消解”为视觉主线，点状渐变、线条垂落、块状割裂分别对应三款叙事，将传统对称骨架重构为现代立体结构。作品融合传统手工与数字工艺，既保留撒尼刺绣的文化内核，又以当代青年审美重构非遗表达，试图让渐趋消逝的民族刺绣文化，在日常鞋履载体中获得全新生命力。
