Want a Creative Hot Streak?

Last week researchers published some pretty exciting findings for artists. We can set ourselves up for a hot streak by exploring genres and styles, then mastering one. After chronic illness changed how I write, this is wonderful news. #WritingCommunity

Last week was an exciting one for artists interested in scientific studies of creativity. Researchers (Lu Liu, Nima Dehmamy, Jillian Chown, C. Lee Giles & Dashun Wang) published an article in Nature demonstrating that most artistic hot streaks are preceded by exploration as artists try out numerous forms and media.

Hung Huang and Lu Liu on China's Fashion Climate

Hung talked about the drive and inspirations of young Chinese fashion designers today, their goals and the problems they face in the Chinese market. She spoke of the lack of confidence the Chinese market has in its own designers, looking for confirmation of their credentials in the west before they dare to buy. Fabric is something Chinese consumers are extremely particular about, especially when looking at locally-designed pieces. Hung herself is one of the few public figures who shows such support for the young generation of Chinese designers coming through her websites, articles and B.N.C., her boutique in Beijing's Sanlitun Village North, which houses collections from the likes of Uma Wang, Pari Chen and Parsons trained Lu Liu. 

Lu also spoke about the fashion climate and the differences in fashion design education between China and the west. Japanese avant garde design, with deconstructed styles and lose-fitting garments are more popular with young Chinese designers, who focus on the concept of their collections as opposed to function and use (as is usually the case in the west). She went on to say that there needs to be a show of confidence to build momentum and that now is the time to build a fashion scene.
