In August 30th, guided by the Systems Engineering Research Institute of the Academy of military science and sponsored by the China Textile Industry Federation, the first "military uniform culture creative design competition" hosted by Oriental Fashion Center was officially launched in Beijing. Gao Yong, secretary and Secretary General of the China Textile Industry Federation, Li Lingshen, vice chairman of the China Textile Industry Federation, Liu Qiang, executive director Wang Lin of the Oriental Fashion Center, and director of the Institute of systems engineering and military technology research institute of the Academy of military science, attended the launching ceremony.

Li Lingshen, vice president of China Textile Industry Federation, chaired the meeting.

At the meeting, Gao Yong, secretary and Secretary General of the China Textile Industry Federation, pointed out that military uniform is a manifestation of a soldier's external prestige and a symbol of a country's national prestige. With the evolution of history and the progress of the times, uniform is also undergoing constant changes. Modern military uniform not only meets the needs of dressing and symbolism, but develops towards serialization, diversification and functionalization. Today, our military uniform has developed its own military uniform.

It is an important task for the textile industry to provide military uniform for the development of the times, combat readiness and quality. It is also an important part of establishing a docking mechanism for the textile industry and military supplies, and accelerating the military application of new technologies and new products.

In 2018, the China Textile Industry Federation established the China Textile civil military integration working committee to coordinate the dual-use resources of the textile industry, vigorously support the R & D and production of Military Textiles, and concentrate on supporting China's national defense modernization. At present, the textile industry has initially formed a high-level textile and military supporting system covering industry organizations, universities, research institutes, backbone enterprises and demand side units.

Along with the wider application of textile and clothing in people's livelihood and national defense industry, the resources of textile, civilian and dual-use technology will also play a greater role. We hope that the cooperation between the Quartermaster engineering and Technology Research Institute, Oriental fashion center and China Textile Union will further strengthen on the basis of this competition, and continue to give full play to their respective advantages and make new contributions.

This competition is the first national event to promote military culture and explore the application of new textile materials and technologies. The first "military uniform culture creative design competition" will be centered on the "color" design of military uniform, and the future will be held in the form of one theme every year. In order to ensure high standards, high demands and high quality, the first tournament will take the form of directional invitation and offline evaluation. The finals will be held in Beijing in late December.

With the help of the "creative design competition of military uniform culture", this activity will involve more creative design talents and innovative enterprises. Through the power of design, we can integrate the creativity of the deep rooted culture into the military uniform design, reflect the Chinese military culture and creativity, and create a cooperation platform for the military and civilian use of textile and clothing technology cooperation, talent exchange and military culture promotion.

As an event organizer, Liu Qiang, chairman of Oriental Fashion Center, introduced the work carried out by the Oriental Fashion Center. He said he would go all out to run the competition, create a stage for more design talents and innovative enterprises, carry forward the military culture, and inspire young people to support the army and patriotic enthusiasm.
