Brand Story of Maeya Fashion

June 24, 2021

The first time I saw tattoo art was at Venice Beach in Los Angeles. I went with my friends to gain some new experience about street art in America. Beach volleyball, bikinis, sun-bathers, wave-riding children and roadside art displays all present to me the American lifestyle, which is a novelty to our reserved Oriental people.

The sunny day in Los Angeles made me open my parasol while shopping on the street. However, I found several tattoo parlors with all kinds of patterns on the walls. The customers were sitting on chairs and the technicians were drawing pictures on the customers' skin with an electric brush. The art of self-mutilation has a lot of followers, but I found that the tattoos have a special style and are extremely artistic.

When Maeya Fashion designed our mask collection, the silk was as thin as human skin, and the patterns embroidered on it had to have the artistic feel of tattoo art, and the embroidery would never be too conspicuous from the silk. In order to achieve this effect, only the exquisite Suzhou Embroidery, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, can be qualified among various embroidery art styles and techniques.

Suzhou embroidery craftsmanshipy has the characteristics of "flat, neat, thin, dense, harmony, glow, smooth and even". "Flat" refers to the embroidery surface; "neat" means the edges of the pattern are perfect; "thin" means that the needle is thin and the embroidery line is invisible. "Dense" means that the lines are tightly arranged and do not show stitches; "harmony" means suitable color; "glow" refers to the glowing bright color; "smooth" refers to the smooth rotation of the silk circle; "even" refers to fine and uniform lines, consistent density. Able to accurately present the three-dimensional feeling of flowers through color and stitching in smoothness.

The flower pattern design of Maeya Fashion is from the natural style of the English garden, and the fantastic skill of Suzhou embroidery is a perfect match with it. It is based on the embroidery taste of fabric color, apply the technique and arrangement of the union of coarse and fine, false and real to show luxury pictures, the line is refreshing and lively, needles do not show the traces, the color is concise, with a strong artistic feeling of the whole piece, vividly showed the elegant bearing with different flower plant respective.

Wearing an elegant and fashionable mask, just like the beautiful flowers of nature tattooed on faces, outstanding avant-garde fashion, but also carries the traditional elegance.
