Mr hu xiaodan’s Large-scale theme design works “The Moving Forbidden City”

It has been nearly two decades since the launch of “Forbidden City” on December 13, 1994. Although it received high comments from International fashion circle, Hu Xiaodan didn’t allow to launch “Forbidden City”in commercial market because he always defined it as a work of art. The work is still popular today in exhibitions and shows. It should be the only work in China with everlasting appeal in the market.

 This fashion show presentation reflects Chinese architecture, history and culture. The designer Mr. Hu XiaoDan is an excellent young artist who completed this work after three years of assiduous study. This excellent artist focuses on the structures located along axis, creating a flowing picture scroll of near like quality by matching and frouping different dress styles, and using original lighting and commentary. He used the Forbidden City as the backdrop and showed consecutive pictures of either side of the axis symmetrically in the Forbidden City. 　

　Almost all of the important structures located along the middle axis in the Imperial Palace and the Forbidden City were shown on the T-shaped walkway stage. The studs on the Vermillion Meridian Gate, the mythical beasts on the roof of the Gate of Supreme Harmony, the golden dragon throne of Supreme Harmony and the unique couplet hanging on the pillars of the Hall of Heavenly Purity are all reflected in this work. Even white marble columns and enamel desk clocks in the treasure palace, as well as hundred-year old trees in the Imperial Garden inspired the designer. 　　This is a miraculous and splendid show. 　　

This young artist draws his inspiration form the wealth of architectural details in the Forbidden City and reveals the intelligence and wisdom of his Chinese ancestors, as well as the quintessence of Chinese Culture. With his special,imaginative creativity and design, he concentrates the 5000 years history of China and puts it on the T-shaped walkway stage.He boldly blends echoes of the Forbidden City and the pinnacle of Chinese architecture in his costumes, choreography and music.It is unfurled before our eyes as a grand picture scroll. Mr hu xiaodan’s Large-scale theme design works “The Moving Forbidden City”, the large theme costume design, should be the “most valuable cultural work” in China so far.
