IMANE AYISSI : A New Exploration

伊曼-阿伊西 : 一次新的探索

The presentation of Imane Ayissi’s Spring-Summer 2024 collection took place on January 22, 2014, during Paris Fashion Week.

The collection emphasizes draping as a central element, utilizing various techniques to create unique garments.

伊曼-阿伊西的2024春夏系列展示走秀于2014年1月22日在巴黎时装周期间举行。该系列突出了褶皱作为核心元素，使用不同的技术创造独特的风格。

Inspiration

Ayissi draws inspiration from the ancient art of draping, a gesture widespread across numerous cultures worldwide, from the peplum to the sari, still practiced daily by many women in West and Central Africa.

Ayissi explores different ways of wrapping, draping, and layering fabrics to create refined and sculptural garments. He creates pieces that sometimes complement traditional elements of Western wardrobes, but also result in sculpted dresses directly on the mannequin, held together by folds and one or two seams.

The collection highlights a variety of fabrics such as draped crepes, reverse satin crepes, organza, taffeta, faille, and duchess satin. Additionally, Ayissi incorporates several versions of his favorite fabric, the handwoven Kente from Ghana. This diversity of fabrics reflects the richness of cultural influences and artisanal craftsmanship.

灵感

伊曼受到古老的褶皱艺术的启发，这是一种在世界各地许多文化中广泛存在的服装技能，从披肩到沙丽，仍然被西非和中非许多妇女日常使用。

伊曼探索了不同的缠裹、褶皱和叠加布料的方式，创造出精致而雕塑感的服装。他创作的作品有时会吸收西方服装传统元素，但也会直接在模特身上打造立体感的礼服，通过褶皱、或者简单的缝线来保持形状。

该系列展示了各种面料，如褶皱缎、反缎褶皱、纱、塔夫绸、法兰绒和公主缎。此外，伊曼还融入了他钟爱的肯特布料的多个版本，这种布料在加纳手工编织而成，这种面料的多样性反映了文化的不同影响和工艺技术的丰富性。

Eco-responsibility

Imane Ayissi places great importance on eco-responsibility. He ensures the use of sustainable and environmentally friendly materials in his creations, contributing to promoting a more responsible fashion. Furthermore, Ayissi utilizes the latest generation of bamboo fabrics.

The Ecobamboo fiber is produced in China by the Jilin Chemical Fibre group from high-quality bamboo and is certified by several international organizations, guaranteeing its durability and ecological qualities. The bamboo fabrics used by Imane Ayissi are manufactured in Turkey by the company Elyaf Tekstil, which offers ecological and durable products.

The bamboo fabrics used by Imane Ayissi are manufactured in Turkey by the company Elyaf Tekstil. Elyaf Tekstil offers eco-friendly and sustainable products. The director, Elif BILGE OLAGANER, explained: “Inspired by nature and the bamboo fiber, we combine environmental sustainability and aesthetic excellence in our productions. The fabrics we create with bamboo fiber, which undergo a unique finishing process in our factory, transform into an elegant and beautiful texture like silk. We thus offer a unique alternative in sustainable fashion.”

生态责任

伊曼–阿伊西非常重视生态责任。他努力在自己的设计中使用可持续和环保的材料，为推动更负责任的时尚做出贡献。

伊曼使用最新一代的Ecobamboo竹纤维面料。Ecobamboo纤维由中国吉林化纤集团利用高质量的竹子制造，生产过程获得多个国际机构的权威认证，保证其环保特性。

伊曼使用的竹纤维面料由土耳其的Elyaf Tekstil公司制造。Elyaf Tekstil公司的总经理Elif BILGE OLAGANER解释说：“受到大自然和Ecobamboo竹纤维的启发，我们的产品将环境可持续性和美学卓越相结合。竹纤维的面料在我们的工厂经过独特的处理过程后，变成了一种像丝绸一样优雅美丽的质地。因此，我们提供了另外一种独特的、可持续的时尚选择。”

Behind the scenes of the fashion show, Imane Ayissi and Jean-Marc Chauve, two individuals with their own fashion perspectives, complement each other perfectly, allowing for the incredible evolution of the Imane Ayissi brand and the creation of a new language of cultural diversity and sustainable fashion.

在走秀的幕后，伊曼-阿伊西和让-马克-肖夫两位设计师，具有各自时尚观点, 但完美地互补，他们的合作推动了Imane Ayissi品牌的迅速发展，并创造了一种新的多元文化和可持续时尚相融的语言。

Sharing 分享

Several personalities attended the event, includingNicolas Bonnet-Ouladj, Deputy to the Mayor of Paris responsible for trade, crafts, liberal professions, handicrafts, and fashion ; Pascal Morand, Executive President of the Federation of Haute Couture and Fashion.

此次活动有多位重要嘉宾参加，尤其是巴黎市负责商业、手工艺、艺术和时尚行业的副市长Nicolas Bonnet-Ouladj 先生; 高级时装和时尚联盟、巴黎时装周执行主席Pascal Morand先生，亲临活动现场。

Imane’s talent was truly appreciated by the public. Amélie LANDMANN, International Project Manager of the Franco-Chinese Exchange Committee of CCI International Paris Ile-de-France, shared her experience:

“Imane Ayissi’s collection featured African patterns mixed with textiles, notably the use of bamboo fiber. The cuts varied, ranging from delicate cuts to more elaborate ones with long trains. A particular outfit that I liked was a red-orange jumpsuit with flowers, creating a sought-after androgynous style. Another black jumpsuit with straw knots and a train was also appreciated for its unique silhouette. The garments used bamboo fabric to delicately bring African elements while retaining typical straight cuts of couture. This diversity of shapes and elements made the collection interesting and unique. The effort put into creating these garments was evident and contributed to the beauty of the collection.”

伊曼的才华深受在场嘉宾们喜爱。巴黎国际商会中法交流委员会的国际项目负责人Amélie LANDMANN分享了她的经验：

“伊曼的系列展示了非洲图案和纺织品的独特混合，尤其使用了竹纤维面料。从细致的剪裁到复杂的组合，剪裁多样化。我特别喜欢这套橙红色的连体裤搭配花朵，创造出一种中性风格。另一套黑色连体裤搭配稻草结和拖尾是极为独特。这些服装巧妙地使用了环保竹纤维面料，精致地展现了非洲元素，同时保留了缝制的直线剪裁特点。这种形式和元素的多样性使得整个系列既有趣又独特。在创作这些服装时所付出的努力是显而易见的，这也为整个系列增添了美感。”

Living 2024

for Diversity and Peace

The year 2024 is marked by the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and France, as well as the Franco-Chinese Year of Cultural Tourism and the Paris Olympics. Imane Ayissi and the magazine Airs de Paris are collaborating to celebrate cultural diversity and sustainability throughout the year.

The essence of Imane Ayissi’s work is to bring cultures together with renewed joy. He stated: “Faced with the great challenges of our time, it is urgent for us to unite to imagine, together, new ways of living and to define new common goods.”

2024年 : 文化多样性与和平

2024年是中法建交60周年，也是中法文化旅游年和巴黎奥运会。伊曼和《巴黎灵感》杂志合作，全年共同倡导文化的多样性和可持续发展。

伊曼创意的本质是以新的喜悦方式融合不同的文化。他说：“面对我们时代的重大挑战，我们迫切需要团结起来，共同构想新的生活方式，定义新的共同发展。”

Let’s unite to imagine and invent diversity and sustainability. By accepting our differences and listening to others, we can create an environment conducive to peace and mutual understanding.

让我们共同合作，构想和创造文化多样性和可持续发展。通过接纳文化的差异，并倾听他人的想法，我们可以创造一个有利于和平、相互理解的环境。

我们邀请您与伊曼一起开始这个新的探索……
