DFD Fashion Show: Sheme

In the organizer's words:

Since 2021, Sheme has launched new products every year based on profound ethnic cultural concepts. By 2048, Sheme will complete the original shoe design inspired by the totems of all 56 ethnic groups in China.Currently, this includes the Luoba, Tatar, Gaoshan, Qiang, Tibet and Dulonggroups.

Sheme's fall-winter 2024 collection, inspired by the 56 ethnic groups, takes us to the deep valleys of Yunnan and the passionate life of the Nu people with their songs and dances.

The image of the Nu people "dancing on the ground and singing while standing" and the abstract characters of the Nu culture in the Lasi Di rock paintings are unique. Each sound is like a message from the ancestors to their descendants, and each song is a dialog with the souls of nature.

There is an ancient art form on this land - the Lasi-Di rock paintings. They are quietly carved into the steep cliffs and tell stories that are a thousand years old.

Music is the invisible voice of the Nu soul; dance is the innateartistic expression of the Nu .The notes flow between the hearths and carry the unique melody of the Nu ,telling of the legends and traditions of this peoplein the sounds of the harmonica and stringed instruments.

The Sheme collection "Nu- True Self" celebrates every highlight of life with each pair of shoes that resemble an elegant melody.

The Nu are known for their singing and dancing skills. Dance is their joyful expression of the joy of life. The Sheme collection "Standing Dance" draws inspiration from their zest for life, showcasing the unique cultural atmosphere and adding a relaxed, serene touch to the joys of dance.

The Nu write the melody of life with their hard work. They sing and dance on the earth as their joyful and melodious songs echo through the ceaseless valleys of the Nu River, nurturing the hope of a bountiful harvest with their industrious sweat. Sheme shares this spirit of enjoying the moment and creating beauty with modern city women.

The inspiration comes from the rich culture of Nu, which radiates the warm humanity and beauty with song and dance, manifesting in tears of joy.

Using high quality blue silk satin, inspired by the Nu totems, with crystal fringes that bring silky dances to life.

Gradient colors and floating beads interpret the gently falling tears of joy. Each step expresses the personality and passion of Nu and celebrates life in the here and now.
