Motoguo Paris & Shanghai Fashion Week Showroom A/W23

这是为马来西亚品牌motoguo AW23巴黎时装周和上海时装周设计的视觉。马来西亚是一个多元文化的国家。他们使用多种语言（马来语、英语、中文和印度语），并拥有三大种族（马来人、华人和印度人）。 Motoguo以其怀旧设计而闻名。这一季，他们决定打造一个醇厚而沉睡的系列——The Art of Letting Go（放手的艺术）. 灵感来自于Motoguo的创始人moto和kinder在创立品牌后从未睡过好觉，这让他们非常怀念自己的童年，虽然当时睡觉甚至会漏尿，并且常常做很多梦。

在亚洲文化中，尤其是中国文化，人们相信梦中的事物往往预示著未来生活的某个方向。例如，梦见蛇的解释之一是你很快就会发财。梦往往与迷信联系在一起；有些人梦醒后会找周公解梦。多元的文化背景总是让我们有太多的故事要讲，这点上我和motoguo有同样的感觉。所以我决定帮助他们通过视觉直接表达这种复杂的感觉。我在视觉上混合了这个集合中的所有隐喻。

This is the Visuals for Malaysian brand @motoguo AW23 Paris Fashion Week and Shanghai Fashion Week🌼 Malaysia is a multicultural country. They speak multiple languages (Malay, English, Chinese and Hindi) and have three major races (Malays, Chinese and Indians). Motoguo is famous for its nostalgic design. In this season, they decided to make a mellow and sleepy collection——The Art of Letting Go. The inspiration comes from the fact that the founders of Motoguo @guomoto @a_kinder_a_day never had a good sleep after founding the brand😴 It made them very nostalgic for their childhood, even when they had narcolepsy and used to leaked urine💧(you can see some drops and pacifiers in the posters and on the products) and dream a lot.

In Asian cultures, especially Chinese culture, people believe that things in dreams often foretell a certain direction in future life. For example, one of the interpretations of dreaming about snakes🐍is that you will get rich soon💰Dreams are often associated with superstition; after waking from a dream, some people will seek Master Zhou to interpret their dreams. It’s called 周公解夢

The multicultural background always leads us to have too many stories to tell. I feel the same way with motoguo, so I decided to help them directly express this mixed feeling through visuals. I mixed all the metaphors from this collection visually.
