但我想談談的是我所見到的黃薇。那是一個刮著鬼風一如往常的倫敦天，我在人煙稀少，由紅磚砌成的建築物街區來回良久，才找到她與田明彬(Ming)合租的工作室。其實在與她見面前，我已聽過不少大媒體跟她合作過，各種評論都有，這大概也是我從進門就開始偷偷觀察她的原因。

她背對著我，烏黑的長髮披在背上，拿著尺彎腰在大張描圖紙上來回勾勒，個子比想像中小很多。直到她轉過身，我這才第一次看清楚她的長相，平劉海直接了當的停在睫毛上，厚厚的嘴脣，有點像書卷氣偏重的舒淇，長得其實挺性感的。（我想她應該會殺了我哈哈）她的聲音低低的，不知是身為設計師總是勞形苦心還是，給人慵慵懶懶的感覺。

聊了幾句我才發現，原來她在念設計之前，學的是純美術，不是應用美術還是數位設計之類的，就是很單純的美術，至今我依舊認為這是她的作品如今如此受到矚目的關鍵之一。身為一個藝術家，黃薇對於時尚的切入角度，平衡得剛剛好。身為一個藝術家兼設計師，她喜歡拿質感和剪裁來作文章。以她的畢業Collection來說，她選用未來主義作為主題，服飾線條簡單得似乎不帶感情，再將小瓷磚以馬賽克的方式鑲在質地充滿科技感的半透明材質上。這套系列服飾之後更被Stella McCartney相中，讓她已畢業設計為出發點，製作出一整套完整的春夏系列，也就是被Lady Gaga穿戴的透明馬賽克服飾，接下來的，你們都知道了。

拜訪她的那天，她的秋冬系列尚在成型中，所以我只能簡單地看看服裝的大概，摸摸她要用的材料，和聽一聽她的故事主題，她的StoryBoard上貼著大量世界大戰期間的波蘭人穿著，看著圖中的波蘭難民穿著有些oversized的衣服，再看看她前些日子剛展出的秋冬系列，實在是讓人歎為觀止，她又在一次精確的在時尚與藝術，甚至是歷史之間達到剛剛好的平衡，少一點則不足，多一點又過剩。

今天我翻著Instagram時發現，黃薇跑去哥本哈根跟MUUSE開會，MUUSE是什麼呢，MUUSE是世界最大的支持且販售新銳設計師服飾的組織，不僅常常與其他媒體合作推出競賽，也以聯名的方式將受他們青睞的設計師服飾推銷至全球，能被他們選上，就代表在新銳設計師的一片苦海裡，你已經名列前茅。我睜大眼睛繼續期待著Jamie Wei Huang未來所有的新動態。

一起來欣賞幾套Jamie Wei Huang的全新秋冬系列。[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If I have to pick some top Taiwanese younger designers that are super activate recently, Jamie Wei Huang will definitely be in the list. There were already tons of thousands news and information about her, not only that her design has been chosen by Lady Gaga (and apparently she wore them as her daily wear cuz it caused a traffic of photographers on the street that’s why we have so many different versions of she wearing them), also, Jamie has worked for some famous fashion house in her earlier designer life.

However, what interests me is the chance to meet her by myself. I know it is always gonna be different from something you’ve heard or has been told. So I came to her on a typical stormy day of London, and found the studio that she shared with another talented Taiwanese designer Ming.

She was leaning on the table, with ruler and pencil in her hand working on something. I could only see her back and a black waterfall as for her hair.

After I had a brief talk with her, I found out why she’s a little different from others. Before she studied design, she was major in Art. I always believe that culture to fashion is like the icing for cakes, small step but changes every story, and Jamie has done the story perfectly by balancing her artistic and designer side. It’s very easy to see by the material that she’s been using or the unique silhouette, and the most important at all, by the way she talks. She’s a wonderful story teller for her collection. Though at that day her fall winter collection was still working in progress so I could’t take picture of them, but the story of her interpreting Polish costume during the wall was amazing. You should check on it right now. (Down below)
What’s more is that, I’ve found out she’s traveling to Copenhagen these’s days to have a conference with MUUSE, the world’s largest new talents support association. I believed she’s the first Taiwanese designer who has every been there till now. (correct me if there were others and I will be happier) . I don’t even dare to blink just not to miss any news about Jamie in the future.

Here are some looks from Jamie Wei Huang’s FW collection.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”2298″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2299″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2297″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2301″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2296″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2305″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”2304″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image image=”2306″ img_link_target=”_self” img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]
