Inheritance and Innovation of "Making the Best Use of Everything" Stitching Process in Fashion Design
The splicing process of Chinese traditional Baina clothes embodies the concept of environmental protection to make the best use of everything. This folk wisdom originally originated from the cassock of Buddhist monks, and later evolved into the practical skill of the folk people to splice pieces of cloth into garments, reflecting the Chinese nation's diligent and thrifty life wisdom and cultural connotation. katliax Kannian creatively splices the leftover materials such as Xiangyun yarn, ancient cloth and old satin quilt, silk and other materials in the production process to create clothing works that not only contain the essence of traditional culture but also conform to modern aesthetics.
In the Baina series of costumes, inspiration is drawn from the patchwork of various ethnic groups. The inspiration for the patchwork of the Baina jacket comes from the Yi nationality's grand first clothes, which is in the form of the Baina patchwork of the Yi nationality. Patchwork shirt draws inspiration from Han rhombus pattern, gown draws inspiration from folk patch collage, takes the scattered rhythm of color and so on, explores the inheritance of tradition and modernity from different regional cultures.
Baina series handbags focus on exploring sustainable design. In the process of clothing production, about 15%-25% of fabrics become leftover materials due to cutting wear. These materials are often discarded directly. Based on this phenomenon, katliax Kannian reuses these high-quality leftover materials and makes bags through manual weaving techniques. The production process is very time-consuming. The designer first classifies and sorts the leftover materials according to the shape, size and color of the leftover materials. Large pieces are cut and small pieces are pasted. This production method not only realizes zero waste of materials, but also makes each bag unique. At the same time, it explores the possibility of sustainable design, minimizing waste and making the best use of everything.
Baina series transforms fragmentary fabrics into clothing works with artistic value through technological design innovation, realizing the effective use of resources. This design concept not only reduces the generation of textile waste, but also provides new ideas for sustainable fashion development, contributing Chinese thrifty wisdom to the world clothing stage.

Yang Jun
Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province

Katliax Kannian, hand-made craftsman brand. "Katliax" is written in Miao. "Kannian" \kali:a \is transliterated in Miao language, meaning magpie.
During a trip to Guizhou in 2019, Yang Jun became acquainted with the non-genetic inheritor of Miao Xiuniang and began to study Miao culture. After frequent exchanges, when I opened my primary school Chinese textbook, I asked, "How do you read Katliax? What does it mean?", she read, "\kali:a\, is an auspicious bird-magpie, which means that good things happen and good things begin."
