Various of models on stage  STORYLINE YOUNG DESIGNERS SHINE China Fashion Week kicked off in Beijing on Tuesday (24MAR09) and the stage was given to young designers from China and around the world.  Artistic entries dominated as young designers tried to make a splash and stand out from the crowd. Design students and a few young professionals showed their creative ideas and flowing fabrics as they competed for the 17th International Young Fashion Designer Contest - the \"Hempel Award.\" Jiang Zuo,  a student designer at the Beijing Institute of Clothing Technology, says elaborate white designs are inspired by the theme of \"watching,\" but involve fully or partially obstructed faces on each model. She says the feeling they give her is of guests at a gala celebration wearing masks. Young Norwegian designer Renate Nipe, of the International Fashion University Group (ESMOD), wanted to convey a sense of strength and \"manliness\" on her female models using puffy down and exaggerated upper body portions.  This was a common theme for other fashions as well - \"Power Gene\" and \"Spirit of Warriors\" for example with clothing styled after ancient armour. Some designs were more traditional or inspired by ancient traditions and handi-crafts like flower patterned peasant cloth or paper cut craft.   Glamorous bright red dresses inspired by traditional Chinese paper cut artwork were presented by Chinese freelance designer \"Jenny\" from Hunan Province in Central China.  The geometric folds give cloth a sense of paper. The top honours also went to a less avant garde entry from Design Student Chen Jiawei from Shenzhen University in Guangdong province.  She says her theme was of simple lines and dots, together with basic patterns and natural comfortable cloth. \" I just want to have a bit of break through with my design. I want to make things that are very creative but still ready to wear.  That will find a place in the market.  I think that is the way to get people\'s attention and respect.\"  Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork  Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_Archive  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/APArchives ​​ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/APNews/   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/youtube/b248294c5591536d412355db1a7fb5da'
