花蓮縣政府舉辦的首屆「原住民時尚設計新秀大賞」已圓滿落幕，獲獎作品展現原住民文化的無限魅力與創意，即日起將在花蓮縣政府原住民行政處展出，歡迎民眾前往賞析。
這次的比賽以【母語】為主題，來自全台各地原住民族群的設計師們，以各自獨特的文化背景和創意，將傳統與現代融合，創造出令人驚豔的時尚作品。社會組第一名得主呂振良先生，以「流浪」命名，透過服裝設計表達了對家鄉的思念與對文化的探索。他的作品不僅是一件衣服，更是一種生活的形式，幫助我們理解每日生活的意義。同樣的，本次大賞的舉辦，也不僅是一場設計競賽，更是一次文化的盛會，很榮幸能邀請到多位時尚產業的專家擔任評審，為年輕新銳設計師指路，並提供建言。
這次「原住民時尚設計新秀大賞」社會組獲獎的其他兩位設計師的優秀作品，也得到了高度評價：第二名的楊之皓設計師，作品名稱是【拾．碎 iacikel ta tja inakulidan】，設計理念:意在「拾起那些文化的碎片，重新復刻組裝」，這件作品透過恢復文化價值，將遺失的語言和技藝重新呈現，以服裝為媒介延續過去的記憶。
獲得第三名的設計師是楊書怡，她以【去走走啊～Ari！ Kivangvangan】為名，主要的設計理念是從排灣語中的「出遊、玩樂」為靈感，創造出一種旅行放鬆感。作品中的色彩和圖案反映了自然環境的多樣性，並透過手寫文字和鬆弛的輪廓，增添了一種無拘束和休閒的氛圍。排灣族的編織三角紋輕輕地帶出了民族的意象。
這些作品不僅展示了設計師們的才華和創意，也體現了原住民文化的豐富多樣性和深厚底蘊。花蓮縣政府將繼續支持這樣的活動，促進原住民時尚產業的發展，以培育更多具有創意與才華的設計新星。我們相信，透過這樣的平台，不僅能讓世界看見原住民時尚的魅力，也能促進文化的傳承與永續發展。感謝所有參賽者的熱情參與，以及所有支持者的鼓勵。花蓮縣政府期待在未來，能見證更多原住民設計師的成長，並一同見證花蓮成為一個充滿文化魅力的原住民族時尚之都，讓世界看見花蓮多元文化之美。
Tradition meets modernity, fashion meets culture. Aboriginal Fashion New Talent Award: Amazing Works in the Social Category
The first “Indigenous Fashion Design New Talent Award” organized by the Hualien County Government has come to a successful end. The award-winning works, which demonstrate the infinite charm and creativity of aboriginal culture, will be exhibited at the Aboriginal Administration Office of the Hualien County Government from now on, and the public is welcome to come to appreciate them.
The theme of the competition was “Mother Tongue”, and designers from aboriginal groups all over Taiwan, with their unique cultural backgrounds and creativity, fused tradition and modernity to create amazing fashionable works. Mr. Lu Zhenliang, the first place winner of the Social Group, named his work “Wandering” to express his nostalgia for his hometown and his exploration of culture through clothing design. His work is not just a piece of clothing, but also a form of life that helps us understand the meaning of daily life. Similarly, this award is not just a design competition, but also a cultural event, and we are honored to have invited a number of fashion industry experts to be the judges, to show the way for the young and emerging designers and to provide advice.
The outstanding works of the other two winners in the social group of the “Indigenous Fashion Design New Talent Award” were also highly praised: the second-place winner, Mr. Yang Zhihao, whose work was titled “Glean, Shatter”, iacikel ta tja inakulidan], with the design concept of “picking up the pieces of culture and reassembling them”, this piece of artwork restores cultural values, reintroduces lost language and techniques, and uses clothing as a medium to continue memories of the past.
The third-place winner was Yang Shuyi, who created a relaxing travel concept inspired by the Paiwanese words for “going out and having fun” under the name “Going for a walk: Ari! Kivangvangan”. The colors and patterns in the artwork reflect the diversity of the natural environment, and through the handwritten text and loose silhouettes, it adds a carefree and casual atmosphere. The woven triangles of the Paiwan tribe gently bring out the ethnic imagery.
These works not only showcase the talent and creativity of the designers, but also embody the rich diversity and deep heritage of the aboriginal culture. The Hualien County Government will continue to support such activities to promote the development of the aboriginal fashion industry, so as to nurture more creative and talented design stars. We believe that through such a platform, we can not only show the world the charm of aboriginal fashion, but also promote cultural heritage and sustainable development. We would like to thank all participants for their enthusiastic participation and all supporters for their encouragement. The Hualien County Government looks forward to witnessing the growth of more aboriginal designers in the future, and together we will see Hualien become an aboriginal fashion capital full of cultural charms, and let the world see the beauty of Hualien's multiculturalism.
