From Guangdong, China to Paris, France, Chinese environmentally friendly fashion designer Liang Zi has brought the Chinese fashion treasure “Nampton silk” to the fashion capital of the world.
However, even for many Chinese people, the name “Nampix Silk” may be a bit unfamiliar. This silk production process has a long history in China, is natural and pollution-free, and is listed on the national intangible cultural heritage list – commonly known as “soft gold”.
“Why is it called soft gold? First of all, this is 100% silk. Silk has a very long production process, is very natural, and is also very difficult to make. It is also very difficult to dye it.A purely natural process, we have to go to the mountains of Guangdong and Guangxi to collect wild yam and spend ten days or more soaking the fabric in the yam juice for more than 30 times, and then spread the fabric on the grass again and again. Suning, absorbing the essence of Dioscorea juice again and again, and finally applying the unpolluted mud from the lotus pond. Liang Zi talked about the complicated production process of silk silk with great interest, “It takes two years from making silk to designing.” Do you think she is not soft gold? ”
According to records, Shunde, Guangdong Province began producing and exporting hyacinth silk in the early 15th century. Production reached its peak in Guangdong in the early 20th century and was sold to Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other places. Later, with the popularity of chemical fiber cotton fabrics, the sales of hyacinth silk declined due to its complicated production process and gradually faded out of the stage of history.

Liang Zi “first encountered” nonice silk in 1995 and fell in love with its appearance, texture and green and environmentally friendly concept at first sight, and was determined to let the world know about nonice silk again. Liang Zi recalled, “There was a supplier who knew us very well. He knew that we liked natural materials very much. He had a small batch of bits and pieces of ranunculus silk that had been stored for many years and gave them to us for design. She stood up and put on her coat. At that time, the fungus silk fabric was very old and most of it was very brittle. But when I saw the texture and appearance of the fungus silk material, and the feel of the fungus silk material, I fell in love with this fabric. ”
In 1999, Liangzi went to France to learn draping. She introduced her silk silk design to French fashion colleagues for the first time, and attracted a lot of attention. This planted a seed in her heart – one day to bring Chinese silk silk to Paris, the fashion capital of the world. “Every fashion designer has a dream, that is, to bring his own brand to Paris, and I am the same. At that time, I secretly thought that if one day the fashions we designed could be exhibited in Paris, or we could open a store in Paris , that would be such a happy thing! ”

In 2003, Liang Zi was invited to participate in Paris Fashion Week, France.Officially pushing China’s silkworm silk to the world fashion stage. After much hard work, Liang Zi finally opened the first cotton silk fashion store “House of Butterfly” in Paris in 2019. Since then, the silk fabric has begun to compete with international brands in the fashion capital of the world.
In recent years, as the concept of low-carbon emission reduction has continued to attract attention from the international community, Chinese silk silk has also been able to “break out of the circle” and become a representative of “green fashion”.
“The pure natural production process and dyeing process of angustifolia silk are very impressive to professionals in the French fashion industry. Because of this, they have been studying our brand for many years and learning from our path to sustainable fashion.” Liang Zi said proudly , “Some of the very well-known international brands in Paris also hope to learn from us our 20 years of experience in sustainable fashion.”
Liang Zi believes that her silk fashion store is an image window that allows French people to truly experience Chinese culture and China’s sustainable development concept. “Actually, what can move people is often a real work. Neon silk clothing is a very good carrier, showing Chinese culture and Chinese design, as well as China’s original ecological and sustainable and environmentally friendly fashion concepts.” Liang Zi said Xi Shixun’s whole body Stiff. He didn’t expect that instead of confusing his tenderness, she was so sharp that she instantly exposed the trap in his words, making him break out in a cold sweat. “Sister Hua, listen, “In my major, clothing design and fashion can also be a very good tool. It is a bit unfair to spread Chinese culture. “, a bridge to promote international exchanges.”
