鐵絲、銅片、蘿蔔幹……這些廢棄材料在一位90後設計師手中，竟能打造出精美的頭冠。

Wang Ping crafts headdresses with “wasted materials”. PROVIDED TO TEENS

At the head of fashion

Dried turnip is a popular ingredient for cooking. But do you know it can also be turned into a beautiful “flower” used to decorate headdresses? Wang Ping, a photographer and stylist, has “the magic” to make this happen.

蘿蔔幹是一種很大衆的烹饪原料。但你知道蘿蔔幹還可以變成一朵美麗的“花”用來裝點頭冠嗎？攝影師兼設計師王平就擁有這種變蘿蔔幹為花的“魔法”。

The 26-year-old, who owns two photography studios, became interested in crafting headdresses in 2020. He found that there wasn’t any headwear that fitted properly with the studio’s costumes. As an industrial art major, Wang is skilled at drawing. So he decided to make them on his own.

26歲的王平擁有兩家攝影工作室，2020年他開始對制作頭冠産生興趣。王平發現大多數頭冠和工作室的服裝不搭，而作為一名工藝美術專業的學生，他擅長繪畫，因此決定自己動手制作。

Basically, to craft a headdress there are three steps. “First and foremost, I do a design drawing. Then, I prepare all the materials needed and construct the framework of the headwear,” Wang said. “The last step is to assemble all materials and paint.”

制作頭冠大體上有三個步驟。“首先，我會畫出設計圖紙。然後準備需要的所有材料，構建頭飾的框架。”王平說，“最後一步，組裝所有的材料，塗上顔色。”

The basic materials include iron wire, copper sheets, pearl, and fabric. Surprisingly, almost all of them are “waste” as they come from disused clothes. Wang said he had to throw away a lot of headwear and clothes that were out of fashion such as wedding dresses. “It’s indeed a waste and a loss,” Wang said. “So I decided to make the most out of these ‘waste materials’.”

基礎的材料包括鐵絲、銅片、珍珠和織物。令人驚訝的是，幾乎所有材料都是“廢品”，因為這些材料來自不用的衣服。王平說自己不得不扔掉很多頭飾、婚紗等過時的衣服。“這确實是一種浪費和損失，”王平說，“所以我決定充分利用這些‘廢料’。”

Wang takes them apart and collects the usable materials. “I try my best to design and make the headdresses in an environmentally friendly way,” Wang added.

王平把廢棄的衣物拆開，收集可用的材料，他補充說：“我盡最大的努力去設計、制作環保的頭飾。”

Among all his work, crafting the headdress made from dried turnip has been relatively simple as it just only uses several materials. “I use nail polish to prevent the food from being rotten,” Wang said.

在王平的所有作品中，用蘿蔔幹制作的頭冠相對簡單，因為隻用到了幾種材料。王平說:“我給食物塗上指甲油防腐。”

But he is more passionate about making traditional Chinese phoenix coronets. Making one often takes from one week to up to several months as it uses up to over 30 types of materials. Moreover, the process of assembling is complicated, as he needs to place every item into the right position.

但王平更熱衷于制作中國傳統的鳳冠。制作一頂鳳冠通常需要一周至幾個月的時間，因為鳳冠會用到30多種材料。此外，組裝鳳冠的過程很複雜，王平需要把每件材料放在正确的位置。

To present the beauty of Chinese headdress, Wang has also learned how to make ancient clothes. So they can match with each other.

為了展示中國頭冠之美，王平還學會了制作古代服裝，讓頭冠、服裝能夠搭配。

Now, Wang is making clothing featuring a dragon. “The dragon has thousands of scales in different sizes. Every single scale should be embroidered with patterns,” Wang said. “It is estimated to take one year to complete.”

現在，王平正在制作以龍為主題的服裝。“龍鱗成千上萬，大小不一。每一片龍鱗都要繡上圖案，”王平說，“預計需要一年時間才能完成。”

As people are embracing the growing trend of guochao, it is no wonder that Wang’s work has gained much popularity. Wang usually posts videos about how he makes headdresses on Douyin. Within one year, he has attracted over 150,000 followers.

随着“國潮”風興起，王平的作品收獲廣泛關注也就不足為奇了。王平經常在抖音發布自己制作頭飾的視頻。不到一年，他就吸引了超過15萬名粉絲。

“I’ll stick to blending traditional Chinese culture and fashionable elements to craft more exquisite headdresses,” Wang said.

王平說：“我會堅持将中國傳統文化與時尚元素相結合，制作更精美的頭冠。”
